7.2. Tips for taking good shots

• The camera should not move when pressing the shutter release. Do not move the camera directly after pressing the shutter release. Wait until the preview appears in the display.
• View the subject on the display before pressing the shutter release.
• Check the angle if the subject is lit from behind. Change your position to reduce the background lighting.
• In order to shoot good video clips, move the camera around slowly. If you pan too quickly, the video footage will be fuzzy and blurred.

7.3. Taking photographs

▶ Press the shutter release all the way down to take the photograph. A tone indicates that the photo has been taken.

The photos are saved as JPEG files.

7.3.1. Using the flash

If there is insufficient light for the photo, the built-in flash can provide the additional light required.

▶ Press the "Flash" button ✦ repeatedly to choose between the following flash settings:

Setting Meaning
A	AUTO: The flash is activated automatically when the shooting conditions require additional lighting
	Flash always on
	Flash always off

The flash only works in single shot and self-timer mode. It cannot be used for macro shots and video recordings.

Using the flash increases battery usage. If the battery is almost flat, the flash requires longer to charge.

CAUTION!

Do not use the flash when taking close-ups of people and animals. Maintain a distance of at least one metre from your subject.

7.3.2. Zooming in and out

The camera has a 4x digital zoom function.

▶ Press the T and W buttons. The zoom factor appears in the bottom left-hand corner of the display.

W: The field of view is enlarged (wide angle); you can capture a larger section.

PLEASE NOTE!

With the digital zoom, the field of view is enlarged by interpolation; the image quality can suffer as a result.

7.3.3. Focus mode setting

This function allows you to specify the focus type if you wish to take a photo or record a video clip.

▶ Move the macro controller to the required setting.

Your camera offers two different focus modes:

Normal

The focus range starts at 40 cm in Normal mode.

Macro

This mode is ideal for close-ups. In this mode you can capture details thanks to the fixed focus and you can get the subject in focus at much closer distances.

PLEASE NOTE!

The flash function is disabled in Macro mode!

You can copy your pictures and videos to a computer.

Supported operating systems:

Windows XP SP3

Windows Vista SP1

Windows 7

Windows 8

12.1.1. Using a USB cable

Connect the USB cable supplied to the USB output on the camera and to the USB port on the computer.
▶ Switch the camera on. The camera will then be detected by the computer as a removable storage device.

▶ Navigate to the "DCIM" directory and, where applicable, to the relevant subdirectories in order to view the files (*.jpg = photos; *.avi = sound recordings). See also the directory structure in the memory.

Press down the left mouse button and drag the relevant files to the directory provided on the computer, e.g. in the folder "My Documents". You can also highlight the files and use the Windows commands "Copy" and "Paste".

The files are transferred to the computer and stored there. You can display, view and process the files with a suitable software application.

12.2. DCF memory standard

The recordings on your camera are managed (saved, named, etc.) as specified by the DCF standard (DCF = Design Rule for Camera File System). Recordings on memory cards from other DCF cameras can also be played back on your camera.

12.3. Card drive

If your PC has a card drive or is connected to a card reader and you have saved your pictures and recordings on the memory card, you can also just use the card to copy the files to your PC. The card reader is also detected as a removable storage device on the Windows desktop (or in "Computer" if using Vista).

12.4. Memory folder structure

The camera saves the pictures and video recordings in two different directories on the memory card. The following folders are automatically created during the process:

DCIM: All the photographs and video recordings are saved in this folder.

Normal shots are located in the "100MEDIA" folder and automatically saved under the name "IMG_" and a four-digit number.

- The camera switches itself off after a set period of time in order to save energy. Restart the camera.

14.4.8. The shot has not been saved.

- The camera was switched off before the shot could be saved.
