2 Improving your shooting skills — Shooting guides Basic function guides To familiarize yourself with the camera, you can start off by taking pictures of surrounding subjects, such as children, flowers and pets. Ifthe pictures taken are not to your liking, try adjusting some of the settings below. Vou can take more satisfying pictures simply by familiarizing yourself with these basic camera functions. Focus: Operating the shutter button A picture can become out of focus when the focus in the picture is on the foreground, background, or other objects in the picture instead of on the subject. To prevent out-of-focus pictures, be sure to focus on the subject you are trying to capture. The shutter button can be pressed halfway down (haif-press) and all the way doun (full press). Once you are able to operate the shutter button effectively, you can focus accurately even on moving subjects. Haifwsy doun: = Allthe way don: © Es IE LT “Shooting” (P. 7), “If correct focus cannot be obtained (Focus lock)" (P. 30) Even when the subject is in focus, the picture can become blurred if you move the camera while the shutter button is being pressed. Make sure how to properly hold the camera. The camera is particulariÿ subject to shaking when using live viewr to take pictures while viewing the subject on the monitor. You can reduce camera shake by using the image stabilizer. L “Holding the camera. (P. 7), “Shooting with the image stabilizer function" (P. 29) In addition to incorrect focusing and camera shake problems, movement of the subject can also cause blurring of the picture. In this case, use a shutter speed that matches the motion of the subject. You can confirm the actual shutter speed and aperture on the displays of the viewfinder and monitor by pressing the shutter button halfway. LE ‘How to use the mode dial” (P. 13), “Preview functi Brightness: Exposure compensation

• (P. 29), “Live view” (P. 19) The camera automatically determines the aperture value and shutter speed according to the brightness level. This is called auto exposure. However, you may not be able to capture the intended picture with auto exposure alone. In this case, you can increase or decrease the auto 3 exposure setting. Increase the exposure to enhance the brightness of a summer beach or the whiteness of snow. Decrease the exposure when = the area to be shot is brighter but smaller compared to its surrounding area. if you are unsure of how much exposure compensation is required, ty taking several pictures at various settings and then compare the pictures. L ‘Exposure compensation — Varying the image brightness” (P. 47), *AE bracketing' (P. 30) Color: White balance Besides sunlight, there are other sources for iluminating the subject, such as tungsten and fluorescent lighting. These types of lighting contain particular colors; therefore, the same white object shot under different lighting has slightly different colors. Even under the same sunlight, the colors in the picture differ depending on the sky conditions, the shadows of trees or buildings, and other factors. White balance automatically corrects the effects from these types of lghting and enables shooting with the right colors. You can usually obtain the right colors with the white balance set to [AUTO]. Depending on the shooting conditions, however, you may not be able to obtain the intended colors. In this case, change the setting accordingly.

A guide to functions for different subjects This section describes the functions suitable under different shooting conditions depending on the subject Taking landscape pictures This section describes how to take outdoor scenery pictures of forests, lakes and beaches in daylight Changing shooting mode ‘The proper shooting method varies depending on whether you are trying to capture the silence of a stil scene or the dynamism of a motion scene. + To capture the depth of a forest, focus with a wider range of the image. Use À (aperture priority shooting) mode and close the aperture {increase the aperture value) as much as possible. + To capture the waves crashing against the seashore, use S (shutter priority shooting) mode and select a fast shutter speed. To capture a flowing waterfall or river, shoot using a slow shutter speed Exposure compensation can be used even under different shooting modes. Check the image that you have shot and use + or — to adjust the exposure to obtain better results. Using white balance The color of water in pictures appears different depending on whether it is a lake reflecting nearby trees or a seashore surrounded by a coral reef. To capture the subtle difference in color, try changing the white balance setting. Change the setting for different situations, such as by using E#5300K] for sunny days and [Q,7500K] for outdoor shaded areas on Sunny days. Changing metering mode Depending on the depth of the water and the direction of the sun, the brightness of the water can difer significant in different areas of the same composition. There is also a difference in the brighiness of forests depending on the way the trees overlap each other. If you know which areas you want to emphasize the compensation in the image composition, you can change the metering mode. When set to [@)] (Digital ESP metering), the camera automatically assesses the brighiness in the composition and determines the exposure, To emphasize a specific partial exposure in the composition, change the metering mode to [(3] (center weighted metering) or [Ce] (spot metering), adjust the AF frame to the locations that you want 10 adjust the exposure and then measure the exposure. 22 EN

Changing saturation There may be times when you cannot reproduce the desired color even when using white balance or exposure compensation. In this case, you can change the [SATURATION] setting to achieve the desired color. The [SATURATION] setting includes to levels of high and low setings. When the setting is high, a vivid color is used La A: Aperiure prior shoqlng”(P. 29)."S: Shuter rioriy shoglingr(P. 27). cMeterng mode — Changing the metering system” (P. 46), “Exposure compensation — Varying the briginess’ (P 47) “White balance — Adjusing tre color tone” (P 49), 1SATURATION] Viiness of the color (P. 52) Taking flower pictures ‘The proper method for taking pictures of flowers differs depending on whether you want to capture, for example, a single flower, a field of blooming flowers, a deep red rose, or the light color of a sweet pea. Using white balance There are many colors of flowers ranging from light to vivid ones. Depending on the colors of he flowers, subtle color shades may not be captured as seen. In this case, you can check the light conditions and change the white balance setting. At [AUTO], the camera automatically determines the type of light and shoots using the proper white balance. However, you can bring out subtle color shades more effectively by changing the setting according to shooting conditions, such as by using [£5300K] for sunny days and [A 7500K] for outdoor shaded areas on sunny days. Using exposure compensation When shooting flowers against a background, select as simple a background as possible to bring out the shape and color of the flower. When shooting bright and whitish flowers, adjust the exposure compensation to — (minus) so that the flower stands out from the darker background Changing shooting mode sepin6 Bunoous — sinxs Bupoous inof Buino1duuy ‘The proper shooting method when taking pictures of lowers differs depending on whether you want to emphasize a single flower or capture a field of flowers. To change the focus area, set the camera to À (aperture priority shooting) mode and select the aperture value. + When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture value), the camera focuses within a shorter range (with a shallow depth of field), emphasizing the subject against a blurred background. + When you close the aperture (increase the aperture value), the camera focuses over a wider range (with more depth of field), producing a picture with both the foreground and background in focus. You can use the preview function to confirm the changes in the depth of field when the aperture is changed Using live view When using a conventional digital single-lens reflex camera with interchangeable lens system, it was necessary to wait until after taking the picture to check the results of the exposure compensation and white balance settings. With the live view function of this camera, however, you can use the monitor to display and check the subject you want to capture. EN 23

sepiné Buroous — sinxs Bunoous imof Buaoiduut Changing lenses When the blooming flowers are few and sparse, take the picture using a telephoto lens. With a telephoto lens, you take pictures in which subjects at different distances appear closer together, giving the impression of a more densely blooming flower field. Using the telescopic feature of the zoom lens also achieves the same effect, but i is easier to achieve this effect when the focal distance of the lens is longer, such as 150 mm or 200 mm, rather than 54 mm. L& ‘A: Aperture priority shooting” (P. 26), “Live view” (P. 19), ‘Preview function" (P. 29), “Exposure compensation — Varying the image brightness” (P. 47), “White balance — Adjusting the color tone” (P. 49) Taking night scene pictures There are different types of night scenes, from the afterglow of a sunset and city lights at night to special light displays and firework displays. Using a tripod Because a slow shutter speed is needed to capture night scenes, a tripod is required to prevent camera shake. fa tripod is not available, you should place the camera on a stable surface to prevent camera Shake. Even if the camera is secured, camera shake may occur when pressing the shutter button. Therefore, i is recommended to use the remote control or self timer. Changing shooting mode Night scenes have different levels of brightness, and the balance of the brighiness in the composition is not uniform. Start by using À (aperure priority shooting) mode to take the picture. Set the aperture to the medium setting (about F8 or F11) and allow the camera to automatically select the shutter speed. When shooting a night scene, because the camera sets the exposure to match the dark areas. which occupy a majority of the composition and the image often turs out whitish (overexposed), adjust the exposure compensation to 1 or 1.5. Use [REC VIEW] to check the image and adjust the aperture and exposure compensation as necessary. image noise can easily occur when shooting at slow shutter speeds. In this case, set [NOISE REDUCT to [ON] to reduce noise: Using manual focus In cases where you cannot use AF (auto focus) to focus on the subject because the subject is too dark or you cannot focus in time to take pictures, such as during a fireworks display, set the focus mode to [MF] (manual focus) and focus manual. To take pictures of night scenes, turn the focus ring of the lens and check whether you can see the lights of the night scene cleariy. To take pictures of a fireworks display, adjust the focus of the lens to infinite unless you are using a long focus lens.

White balance — Adjusting the color tone Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance, when daylight or tungsten lighting is reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced wil be slightiy different for each. With a digital camera, white color can be adjusted to reproduce more natural white with a digital processor. This mechanism is called white balance. There are 4 options for setting the WB with this camera. Auto white balance This function enables the camera to automatically detect white in images and adjust the color balance accordingly. Use this mode for general use. Preset white balance Seven different color temperatures are programmed on this camera covering a variety of indoor and outdoor lighting including fluorescent lights and light bulbs. For example, use preset WB when you want to reproduce more red in the picture of a sunset, or capture a warmer artistic effect under artificial lighting. Custom white balance You can change the color temperature of one of the preset WB settings to your li 1 “Setting the auto / preset / custom white balance” (P. 49) One-touch white balance King, You can set the optimum white balance for the shooting conditions by pointing the camera at a white object Ike a sheet of white paper.

uoneuoqui A (Aperture Priority) Mode You setthe aperture yourself and the camera automatically varies the shutter speed so that the picture is taken with the correct exposure. AE (Automatic Exposure) ‘The camera's built-in exposure meter automatically sets the exposure. The 3 AE modes available on this camera are P mode, in which the camera selects both the aperture and shutter speed, À mode, in which the user selects the apeture and the camera sets the shutter speed, and S mode, in which the user selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture. in M mode, the user selects both the apenture and the shutter speed. Aperture The adjustable lens opening which controls the amount of light that enters the camera. The larger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field and the fuzzier the background. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field and the sharper the background. Aperture is measured in f / stops. Larger aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller aperture values indicate larger apertures. AUTO mode Program AE mode (see “P (Program) Mode”). In addition, this mode features automatic flash pop up when shooting in louHlight conditions. Center weighted averaging metering A light metering mode or technique that uses an average of the center and periphery ofthe image area but is biased toward the information at the center of the image area. This method is best used when the brightness of the center and periphery of the image area does not vary great. See also digital ESP metering and spot metering Color space A model that describes colors using more than three coordinates. Color spaces such as RGB, Adobe RGB are occasionally used for encoding / reproducing colors. Color temperature The spectral balance of different white light sources is rated numerically by color temperature — a concept of theoretical physics that, with incandescent lighting, corresponds roughly to the absolute lamp filament temperature, expressed on the Kelvin (K) temperature scale. The higher the color temperature, the richer the light in bluish tones and the poorer in reddish; the lower the color temperature, the richer the light in reddish tones and the poorer in bluish. You may encounter dificuities with color reproduction when shooting indoors under fluorescent lighting, or where sunlight and fluorescent lighting are both present, Your camera is provided with a white balance adjustment feature that you can use to compensate for the odd effects of combinations of color you may occasionally see in your pictures. Compression rate Compression is a method of reducing file size by abbreviating some contents of data, and compression rate denotes the amount of compression. The actual effect of the selected compression rate could vary with the content of the image. The numbers for the compression rate selected with this camera provide only a general scale for reference and are not precise measurements. DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) A standard for image fles by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) Depth of Field Depth of Field refers to the distance from the nearest to the furthest point of perceived sharp" focus in a picture. gital ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering This determines the exposure by spliting the image into 49 areas and metering and calculating the light levels in each area DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) This is for Saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images to print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the desired images printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format. 108 EN

Eclipsing (Vignetting) This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole subject is not photographed. Vignetting also refers to when the image seen through the viewtinder does not exactly match the image shot through the objective lens, so the photographed image includes objects not seen through the viewfinder. In addition, vignetting can occur when an incorrect lens hood is used, causing shadowing to appear in the comers of the image: EV (Exposure Value) À system for measuring exposure. EVO is when the aperture is at F1 and the shutter speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture increases by one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can also be used to indicate brightness and ISO settings. Exposure The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the length of time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through the lens (aperture) Image pickup device This convert light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera, light is picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image. Et] International abbreviation for Intemational Organization for Standardization. The sensitivity setting used in digital cameras is based on the same ISO standard used for film sensitivity. The sensitivity is denoted as shown in ‘ISO 100". Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) À compression format for color stl images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format when the Record mode is set to SHQ, HQ, SQ. By downloading these images to a personal computer, users can edit them using graphics application sofware or view the images using an Internet web browser. M (Manual) Mode The user sets both the aperture and shutter speed NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) / PAL (Phase Alternating Line) Television formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America and Korea. PAL is mainly used in Europe and China, Number of Pixels (PIXEL COUNT) The number of dots (pixels) used to create an image denotes the image size. For instance, an image in 640 x 480 pixel count is the same size as the computer screen if the monitor setting is also 640 x 480. Hthe monitor setting is 1024 x 768, the image only takes up part of the screen. P (Program) Mode Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter speed and aperture for the shot PictBridge A standard that enables digital cameras and printers made by different manufacturers to be connected, and also allows pictures to be printed direct from the camera. Pixels A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed images require rilions of pixels. RAW Refers to raw data, data which has not been enhanced with a camera option like white balance, sharpness, contrast, etc. This file format is for viewing and processing with our own software. You may not be able to open or process these files with other graphics software applications, and these files cannot be selected for DPOF printing. RAW files are assigned an orf file extension (*.orf) S (Shutter Priority) Mode Also called Shutter Priority AE mode. The user selects the shutter speed and the camera automatically varies the aperture so that the picture is taken with the best exposure: Single-lens reflex camera À camera that uses the reflective mirror to bend the light entering from the shooting lens and uses the viewinder to check, There is no difference between the composition to be captured and the composition viewed on the viewinder.

uoneuoqui Sleep Mode À mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To get out of the sleep mode, use any button on the camera (hutter button, menu button, etc.) Spot metering The meter reading is taken from a very small area around the center of the subject, defined by the spot metering area mark in the viewfinder. Spot metering is ideal for use in dificult light conditions, or when the important element of the picture (subjects face) is small. Use spot metering for backlt subjects, or sports and stage performers. See also digital ESP metering and center weighted averaging metering, TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor À color monitor constructed using thin-flm technology. TTL phase-contrast detection system This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the image is focused by the detected phase contrast TTL (Through-The-Lens) System To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directiy measures the light passing through the lens. 110 EN
