Kann ich die Kamera als Webcam verwenden?

Warum sind meine Bilder unscharf?

Mögliche Ursachen: Verwackeln (langsame Verschlusszeit) – verwenden Sie ein Stativ oder den Blitz. Falscher Fokus – stellen Sie sicher, dass das Motiv im AF-Rahmen ist und drücken Sie den Auslöser halb durch. Bei Makroaufnahmen muss der Makromodus aktiviert sein (Taste ◀). Reinigen Sie bei Bedarf das Objektiv.

Wie übertrage ich Bilder auf den PC?

Wie setze ich die Kamera auf Werkseinstellungen zurück?

Entfernen Sie den Akku und die Speicherkarte für einige Minuten. Setzen Sie sie dann wieder ein. Schalten Sie die Kamera ein. Ein vollständiger Reset ist nicht über das Menü möglich; die Einstellungen (z.B. Datum) müssen manuell neu konfiguriert werden.

Getting Ready

LOADING THE BATTERY AND THE MEDIA

Compatible battery

Always use the Rechargeable Battery NP-40 (included).

The use of other brands of rechargeable battery could cause faults or damage to the camera.

● Rechargeable Battery NP-40 (1)

The battery is not fully charged at shipment and must be fully charged before being used.
Do not stick labels onto the battery as this could cause the battery to become jammed inside the camera.
When removed from the camera, the battery should be stored and transported in the case provided. Any contact between the battery terminals could cause the battery to short-circuit and overheat.
See P.86-87 for information on the battery.

1

Check that the camera is turned off (viewfinder lamp is off) before opening the battery cover. Slide the battery cover to open it.

If opening the battery cover while the camera is still on, the camera will turn off.
Do not apply force to the battery cover

Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on. This could damage the xD-Picture Card or ruin the image files on the xD-Picture Card.

2

Push the battery release catch aside while loading the battery. Check that the battery is firmly held in place.

3

Align the gold marking on the xD-Picture Card slot with the gold contact area on the xD-Picture Card and push the card firmly all the way into the slot.

If the xD-Picture Card is oriented incorrectly, it will not go all the way into the slot. Do not apply force when inserting an xD-Picture Card.

LOADING THE BATTERY AND THE MEDIA

4

Close the battery cover.

◆ How to replace the xD-Picture Card ◆

Push the xD-Picture Card into the slot and then slowly remove your finger. The lock is released and the xD-Picture Card is pushed out.

Checking the battery charge

Turn the camera on and check whether the battery level warning (☐, ☐ or ☐) appears on the LCD monitor.

① There is ample battery charge. (Only displayed for 3 seconds when the camera is turned on or the mode is changed.)
②The battery is almost half charged. (Only displayed for 3 seconds when the camera is turned on or the mode is changed.)
③ There is insufficient charge left in the battery. The battery will soon run out. Have a new battery ready.
④ The battery is depleted. The display will shortly go blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or recharge the battery.

“☐”, “☐” or “☐” appears as a small icon on the right-hand side of the LCD monitor.

Depending on the camera mode used, the transition from "☐" to "☐" may occur more quickly.
Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations. This is normal. Try warming the battery in your pocket or a similar location before use.

"□" appears as a large icon on the LCD monitor
Battery with no remaining charge (□ blinking red) may cause camera faults such as the camera turning itself off without retracting the lens. Always load a new or fully charged battery.
When this function is active, it also turns off the LCD monitor (sleep mode) to reduce power consumption if the camera is not used for 60 seconds ( ≈ P.61). If the camera is then left unused for 2 or 5 minutes, the Power save function turns the camera off. To turn camera back on, slide the Power switch to turn the camera off briefly and then turn it back on.

◆ Power save function ◆

CHARGING THE BATTERY (USING THE CRADLE)

1

① Plug the AC power adapter connector into the "DC IN 5V" socket.
② Plug the AC power adapter into a power outlet.

● Compatible AC power adapters

AC-5VW (included)

AC-5VH (sold separately)

AC-5VHS (sold separately)

Always use the FUJIFILM products.

! See P.87 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

7 The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the country of use.

Do not connect the AC power adapter directly to the camera to charge the battery.

2

Check that the camera is turned off. Set the camera in the cradle.

Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when the camera is off.

Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the camera is on temporarily interrupts the power supply to the camera, so that images or movies being shot are not recorded. Failing to turn the camera off first can also result in damage to the xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.

Plug the camera securely into the Cradle connection socket.

3

The viewfinder lamp lights red and battery charging begins. When charging is completed, the viewfinder lamp turns off.

● Full recharging times for completely depleted battery

At an ambient temperature of +21°C to +25°C

(+70°F to +77°F)

NP-40: approx. 2 hours

Charging times increase at low temperatures.

If the viewfinder lamp blinks during charging, a charging error has occurred and the battery cannot be charged. If this occurs, see P.91

Turning the camera on during charging interrupts the charging

Use the BC-65 Battery Charger (sold separately) to charge battery more quickly (P.85).

4

Remove the camera from the cradle.

◆ Charging the battery ◆

When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long period (e.g. shooting a movie or connected to a PC), charging may not begin soon (the viewfinder lamp does not turn red).

This is not a fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Batteries may degrade when charged at high temperatures.

Leave the camera connected to the cradle, and charging will automatically begin within 20 minutes.

TURNING ON AND OFF / SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

1

Slide the Power switch to turn the camera on and off. When turning the camera on, the viewfinder lamp lights green.

The lens moves when the camera is in "Photography mode. Take care not to obstruct the lens. Obstructing the lens will cause damage and "ZOCM ERROR" or "FOCUS ERROR" will appear. Take care also not to get fingerprints on the camera lens as this will result in impaired image quality in your shots.

2

When using the camera for the first time after purchasing, the date and time are cleared. Press the "MENU/OK" button to set the date and time.

If the message (see figure at left) does not appear, refer to "Correcting the date and time" (→P.15) and check and correct the date and time settings.
The message also appears when the battery has been removed and the camera has been left for a long period.
To set the date and time later, press the "DISP/BACK" button. If you do not set the date and time, this message will appear each time you turn the camera on.

3

① Press “◀” or “▶” to select Year, Month, Day, Hour or Minute.
② Press "▲" or "▼" to correct the setting

4

• Holding down "▲" or "▼" changes the numbers continuously.
• When the time displayed passes "12:00", the AM/PM setting changes.
  Once you have set the date and time, press the "MENU/OK" button. Pressing the "MENU/OK" button changes the camera to Photography or Playback mode.
  At the time of purchase and after leaving the camera for a long period with the battery removed, settings such as the date and time are cleared. Once the camera has been set in the cradle or the battery has been fitted for 2 hours or more, the camera settings will be retained for roughly 6 hours even if both sources of camera power are removed.
  If the camera is turned on immediately after turning off, the camera may not operate. Turn the camera on after checking the viewfinder lamp (green) is off.

CORRECTING THE DATE AND TIME / CHANGING THE DATE ORDER

1

① Press the "MENU/OK" button to display the menu on the LCD monitor.
② Press "◀" or "▶" to select "☑" OPTION and then press "▲" or "▼" to select "SET-UP".
③ Press the "MENU/OK" button.

2

① Press "◀" or "▶" to move to option 2 and then press "▲" or "▼" to select "DATE/TIME". ② Press "▶".

3

Correcting the date and time

TAKING PICTURES (A AUTO MODE)

1

① Slide the Power switch sideways to turn the camera on.
② Set the Mode switch to "☐".
● Focal range: approx. 60 cm (2.0 ft.) to infinity

2

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the camera with both hands. Position your right thumb so that it is handy for using the zoom.

Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture (camera shake). Use a tripod to prevent camera shake, particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash mode is Suppressed flash
There may be some uneven brightness at the right edge of the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not affect the image.

3

Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do not cover the lens, flash or microphone. If the lens or flash is obscured, the brightness (exposure) of your shot may be incorrect.

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as informed on P.86.
If the flash is used in dusty conditions or when it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image. This is due to flash reflecting off the dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed flash mode to fix the problem.

4

Press “☐ (▲)” to zoom in. Press “++ (▼)” to zoom out. A zoom bar appears on the LCD monitor.

• Optical zoom focal length

(35 mm camera equivalent)

Approx. 38 mm-130 mm

Max. zoom scale: 3.4×

Zooming pauses briefly when the camera changes between optical zoom and digital zoom ( P.24). Press the same Zoom switch again to change zoom modes.

PHOTOGRAPHY MODE TAKING PICTURES (AUTO MODE)

5

Use the LCD monitor to frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Autofocus) frame.

The image shown on the LCD monitor before the picture is taken may differ in brightness, color, etc. from the image actually recorded. Play back the recorded image to check it (→P.25).
The subject may be difficult to see clearly on the LCD monitor (in bright sunlight or dimly lit scenes, etc.). If so, use the viewfinder to take the picture.

6

Press the shutter button down halfway. When a short double-beep is heard, the camera focuses on your subject. The AF frame on the LCD monitor becomes smaller and the viewfinder lamp (green) changes from blinking to lit.
When a short double-beep is not heard and "AF" appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.
Pressing the shutter button down halfway freezes the image on the LCD monitor briefly. This image is not the recorded image.
When "!AF" appears on the LCD monitor (e.g. the shot is too dark for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from the subject to take the picture.
The flash fires several times (pre-flashes and the main flash).

Before the flash fires, "1" appears on the LCD monitor.

7

Press the shutter button down fully. When a clicking sound is heard, the camera records the image.
There is a slight delay between the shutter button being pressed and the picture being taken. Play back the shot to check the image.
When pressing the shutter button down fully in one motion, the picture is taken without the AF frame changing.
When the camera takes the picture, the viewfinder lamp lights orange (shooting disabled). The viewfinder lamp then turns green and the next picture can be taken.
When taking a picture using the flash, the image may disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The viewfinder lamp blinks orange during charging.
See P.89-90 for information on the warning displays.

◆ Subjects not suitable for autofocus ◆

The FinePix F455 uses a high-precision autofocusing on the following:

● Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car body
● Subjects photographed through glass
- Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur.
- Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
Dark subjects
● Fast moving subjects
- Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and the background (such as white

walls or subjects dressed in the same color as the background)

- Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a background with strongly contrasting elements)

For such subjects use AF/AE lock (→P.23).

USING VIEWFINDER

1

When using the viewfinder to take pictures, press the "DISP/BACK" button to turn the LCD monitor off. Turning the LCD monitor off conserves battery power.

Use the LCD monitor to take pictures in Macro mode.

2

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the camera with both hands. Position your right thumb so that it is handy for using the zoom.

Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture (camera shake). Use a tripod to prevent camera shake, particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash mode is Suppressed flash.

3

Frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Autofocus) frame. When taking a picture at a distance of 60 cm to 1.5 m (2.0 ft. to 4.9 ft.) using the viewfinder, only the shaded area in the figure is photographed.

For more precise shot framing, use the LCD monitor to take the picture.

PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

↓ FLASH

Press the shutter button down halfway. "3" appears on the LCD monitor when the flash is used.

Choose from 6 flash modes according to the type of shot.

① Set the Mode switch to "☐".

② The flash setting changes each time you press the “◀ (▶)” button. The last flash mode shown is the mode selected.

● Effective flash range (for ☐ AUTO) Wide-angle: approx. 60 cm to 3.6 m (2.0 ft. to 11.8 ft.)

Telephoto : approx. 60 cm to 2 m (2.0 ft. to 6.6 ft.)

If the flash is used in dusty conditions of when it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image. This is due to flash reflecting off dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed flash mode to fix the problem.

The flash charging time may increase when the battery is low on charge.

When taking a picture using the flash, the image may disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The viewfinder lamp blinks orange during charging.

The available flash modes are limited depending on the Photography menu selected (P.29).

The flash fires several times (pre-flashes and the main flash).

Auto flash (no icon)

Use this mode for ordinary photography. The flash fires as required by the shooting conditions.

If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will be taken without the flash.

Red-eye reduction

Use this mode to guarantee that the subject's eyes appear normal when taking pictures of people in low-light conditions. The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture is taken and then fires again to take the actual picture. The flash fires as required by the shooting conditions.

If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will be taken without the flash.

◆ Red-eye effect ◆

When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-eye reduction flash to minimize the likelihood of this effect.

Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective:

- Get the subjects to look at the camera. - Get as close as possible to the subjects.

PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

↓ FLASH

Forced flash

Use this mode in backlit scenes, such as a subject against a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

④ Suppressed flash

Use this mode for taking pictures using indoor lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for photography in places such as theaters or at indoor sporting events where the distance is too great for the flash to be effective. When you use Suppressed flash, the selected white balance function ( ↔ P.39) operates so that natural colors are captured along with the ambience of the available light.

Use a tripod to prevent camera shake, particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash mode is Suppressed flash.
See P.21, 89 for information on the camera shake warning.

S4 Slow synchro

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter speed. This allows you to take pictures of people at night that clearly show both your subjects and the night time backdrop. To prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.

• Slowest shutter speed
  NIGHT: up to 2 sec.

Red-eye reduction + Slow synchro

Use this mode for Slow synchro shots with Red-eye reduction.

The image may be overexposed when shooting bright scenes.

To take a picture of a main subject at night with the background brightly lit, use the "C" (NIGHT) setting in Shooting mode (P.38).

EV (EXPOSURE COMPENSATION)

Select EV in the "☐" Shooting mode.

Use this function when it is important to get the correct brightness (exposure), such as shots with extremely high contrast between the subject and the background.

• Compensation range

-2.1 EV to +1.5 EV (13 steps in 0.3 EV increments) See P.95 for more information on EV.

4 Any of the following disables exposure compensation: - Using the flash in Auto or Red-eye reduction mode - Shooting dark scenes in Forced flash mode

◆ To obtain the optimum brightness ◆

Adjust the exposure compensation according to the level of brightness or darkness in the image.

- When the subject appears too bright. Try a negative (−) compensation sett. This will make the overall image dark

- When the subject appears too dark Try a positive (+) compensation setting. This will make the overall image brighter.

■ Guide to compensation

• Backlit portraits: +0.6 EV to +1.5 EV
• Very bright scenes (such as snowfields) and highly reflective subjects: +0.9 EV
- Shots made up predominantly of sky: +0.9 EV
- Spotlight subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds: -0.6 EV
- Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of pine trees or dark foliage: -0.6 EV

WB WHITE BALANCE (SELECTING THE LIGHT SOURCE)

Select white balance in the "☐" Shooting mode. Change the white balance setting to take a picture with the white balance fixed for the surroundings and lighting.

In AUTO mode, the correct white balance may not be achieved for subjects such as close-ups of people's faces and pictures taken under a special light source. Select the correct white balance for the light source. See P.95 for more information on the white balance.

The color tones may vary depending on the shooting conditions (light source, etc.).

AUTO: Automatic adjustment

(shooting to show the ambience of the light source)

: Shooting outdoors in good weather : Shooting in shade

前: Shooting under "Daylight" fluorescent lamps
2: Shooting under "Warm White" fluorescent lamps
码: Shooting under "Cool White" fluorescent lamps
: Shooting in incandescent light

* When the flash fires, the white balance setting for the flash is used. Consequently, to achieve a particular effect, the flash mode should be set to Suppressed flash (→P.32).

Specifies whether frame numbers are assigned consecutively from previous numbers or begin again.

CONT.: Pictures are stored beginning from the highest file number stored on the last xD-Picture Card used.

RENEW: Pictures are stored on each xD-Picture Card beginning with a file number "0001".

Setting this function to "CONT" makes file management easier as it makes sure that file names are not duplicated when images are downloaded to a PC.

When the camera settings are "RESET", the frame number setting ("CONT," or "RENEW") is changed to "CONT." and the frame number itself does not return to "0001".
When the xD-Picture Card already contains image files with file numbers higher than the highest file number on the last xD-Picture Card, images are stored beginning from the highest file number on the current xD-Picture Card.

Check the file number by viewing the image. The last 4 digits of the 7-digit number in the top right corner of the LCD monitor are the file numbers, while the first 3 digits show the directory number.

When changing the xD-Picture Card, always turn the camera off before opening the battery cover. Opening the battery cover without turning the camera off may cause the frame number memory to not function.
File number runs from 0001 to 9999. Once 9999 is exceeded, the directory number changes from 100 to 101. The maximum number is 998–9999.
The displayed frame number may differ for images photographed on other cameras.

Notes on the Power Supply

Notes on the Battery (NP-40)

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40. Note the points below when using the rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the Safety Notes to make sure that you use the battery correctly.

* When shipped, the NP-40 is not fully charged. Always charge the NP-40 before using it.

- When carrying the NP-40, install it in a digital camera or

Install it in a digital camera of keep it in the soft case.

- When staring the NP-40.

place it inside the special soft case provided.

Battery Features

- The NP-40 gradually loses its charge even when not used. Use a NP-40 that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.

● To maximize the life of the NP-40, turn the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

- The number of available frames will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged NP-40.

You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the NP-40 in your pocket or another warm place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a picture.

If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the NP-40 directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted NP-40 in cold conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

- You can charge the battery using the camera, cradle and the AC power adapter (included).

- The NP-40 can be charged at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F) . At an ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F) , it takes approximately 2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-40 battery.

- You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the NP-40 is impaired.

- You cannot charge the NP-40 at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

- You can also use the optional Battery Charger BC-65 to charge the NP-40. When charging, use the NP-40 battery adapter supplied with the BC-65. Refer to the Owner's Manual for details.

- The NP-40 can be charged using the BC-65 Battery Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately 90 minutes to charge a fully depleted NP-40 battery.

- You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the NP-40 is impaired.

● The NP-40 does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.

● The NP-40 may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is normal.

- Do not recharge a fully charged NP-40.

Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the NP-40 can be used at least 300 times.

If the time for which the NP-40 provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the NP-40 has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

Notes on storage

The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40 is both compact and capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if it is stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the battery can be impaired.

- If the battery will not be used for some time, run the battery out before storing it.

- If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the camera or the battery charger.

- Place the battery pack inside the soft case and store in a cool place.

* The battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

* Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

■ Image Memory Card

- This Image Memory Card is a new image recording media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory) to record digital image data

The recording process is electrically performed and enables erasure of existing image data as well as re-recording of new image data.

- When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to format the card with your digital camera before using it.

■ Protecting Your Data

- Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM assumes no responsibility for data that is lost or destroyed.

1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e., during record, erase, initialization, and playback operations).

2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by the user or third party.

- Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

■ Handling xD-Picture Card

- When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that they are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-Picture Card could be swallowed cause suffocation. If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical attention or call emergency number right away.

- When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the camera, hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you push it in.

- Do not expose an xD-Picture Card to shock. Do not apply pressure, and avoid bending.

- Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot humid places.

- Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of cloth when dirty.

- When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep it in the special protective case.

- The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but will sooner or later lose its ability to store and play back images or movies. If this happens replace it with a new xD-Picture Card.

- Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-Picture Card formatting) as this could be damaged to the xD-Picture Card.

● The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with the FinePix F455.

The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when xD-Picture Cards other than those manufactured by FUJIFILM are used.

- The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is removed from the camera after taking pictures. This is normal.

- Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling labels can cause the camera not to work properly.

■ Using xD-Picture Card with a PC

- When taking pictures using an xD-Picture Card that has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-Picture Card using your camera for best quality

- When formatting an xD-Picture Card, a directory (folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in this directory.

- Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file names on the xD-Picture Card because this will make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in your camera.

● Always use the camera to erase image data on an xD-Picture Card.

- To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC and edit the copy.

* These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this Owner's Manual.

* The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, small bright points and anomalous colors (particularly around text) may appear on the monitor. These are normal display characteristics and do not indicate a fault with the monitor. This phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image.

* The operation error may be caused in a digital camera by the strong radio interference (i.e. electric fields, static electricity, line noise, etc.).

* Due to the nature of the lens, the edges of images may appear distorted. This is normal.

Explanation of Terms

AF/AE Lock

On the FinePix F455, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and exposure settings (AF and AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the frame or change the picture composition after the exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing the composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.

Auto power save function

If the camera is not used in any way for 60 seconds, this function turns features such as the LCD monitor off (sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera is then left unused for a further period, the Auto power save function turns the camera off. This period can be set to 2 or 5 minutes on this camera.

- The Auto power off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it is disabled during setup.

DPOF

Digital Print Order Format

DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are to be printed and how many prints are made of each image.

EV

A number denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed.

When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1.

Frame rate (fps)

The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps.

For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).

JPEG

Joint Photographics Experts Group

A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.

Motion JPEG

A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.

PC Card

A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.

PC Card Standard

A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.

PCMCIA

Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).

Smear

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.

WAVE

A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the ",WAV" file extension and the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera.

WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:

Windows: MediaPlayer

Macintosh: QuickTime Player

White Balance

Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance.
