When the camera is switched on, the shooting mode "ange-passe Szene" is enabled automatically. It appears in the top left of the display in basic status to indicate the shooting mode "intelligent Scene".

If playback mode is enabled instead of shooting mode, press the button.

8.2. Tips for taking good shots

• Move the camera slowly so that the photos do not become fuzzy. The camera should not move when pressing the shutter release. Do not move the camera directly after pressing the shutter release.
• 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.

8.3. Taking photographs

When you can see the image in the viewer, press the shutter release down slightly.

The yellow image section symbols turn red if the autofocus cannot focus.

The display features the shutter speed values, the aperture and the ISO value, providing that an ISO value is set.

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.

NOTE!

If there is a risk that the shot will be blurred due to camera shake, this icon also appears: In this case, you should hold the camera still or use a tripod.

NOTE!

To take close-ups, select macro mode using the button.

8.3.1. Using the stabiliser

The stabiliser makes it possible to take better shots in poor lighting conditions. The risk of blurred photographs is thus reduced.

From the camera menu, select "STABILIZER" and activate or deactivate the function here.

8.3.2. 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 select the following flash settings:

ZA	AUTO: The flash is activated automatically when the shooting conditions require additional lighting.
∅	Flash is triggered before the actual flash; used to prevent “red-eye” effect. The camera detects the brightness of subjects and only flashes if necessary.
↓	Flash always on
↓SL	"Slow Sync": The flash is synchronised with slow shutter speed.
⓷	Flash always off

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

Using the flash increases battery usage. If the battery is almost flat, the flash requires a longer time for charging.

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.

8.3.3. Zooming in and out

The camera has an optical and a digital zoom. The optical zoom level is adjusted via the lens settings; use the Settings menu to enable the digital zoom.

Press the zoom rocker in the direction W / T

A bar appears that represents the zoom setting wT.

W: The image is zoomed out ("wide angle"); you can capture a larger section.

T: The image is zoomed in ("telephoto"); you can capture a smaller section.

If the left side of the bar is filled in, the optical zoom is in use.

If you turn T again, the digital zoom will switch on automatically. You can continue to zoom in further in eight stages. The digital zoom function must be enabled in the settings menu!

The digital zoom is not available for video recordings.

NOTE!

With the digital zoom, the image section is enlarged by interpolation; the image quality may suffer somewhat as a result.

8.3.4. Setting the focus mode

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

Press the macro button repeatedly until the icon for the desired focus mode is displayed.
Confirm your selection by pressing the OK button.

Your camera has four different focus modes, as follows:

AF - Autofocus

In this setting, the camera automatically focuses on subjects.

- Macro

This mode is ideal for close-ups.

Super Macro

This mode is ideal for close-ups. In this mode, you can use the fixed focus to capture details and take sharp photos at much closer distances. When Super Macro is set, you cannot adjust the zoom.

- Infinity

In the Infinity setting, the camera focuses on subjects that are very far away.

MF - Manual Focus

If you enable the manual focus setting, you can then focus in on the image using or .

8.3.5. AE/AF - Autofocus Lock

The autofocus lock fixes the current focus setting.

To lock AE/AF, press the AE/AF LOCK button or press the shutter release button down halfway during video recording and then press the AE/AF LOCK button in photo mode. The AE/AF remains locked even after the shutter is released.

You can unlock AE/AF in one of the following ways:

Press the AE/AF LOCK button
Turn the zoomring
Press on the MENU/Playback/Video/On/Off button to perform a different function

Do not use strong cleaning agents for the housing and lens (if there is dirt that cannot be removed, contact your dealer).
