Learning the Basics

Switching Power On/Off

To switch the camera on

To switch the camera on, slide the lens barrier open until it clicks. The lens extends and the flash pops up.

When the lens does not extend, the lens barrier is not fully opened.

Slide the lens barrier open until it clicks.

Standby Mode

• To extend battery life, always switch the camera off when it is not in use.
• If the camera remains idle for three minutes, the camera enters standby mode and the monitor goes off to save battery energy. To resume shooting, lightly press the shutter button or zoom lever, close and open the lens barrier, or press any button on the arrow pad, the OK button, the menu button, or the monitor button.
• Normally if the camera remains idle for four hours in the standby mode, it will turn off completely. (If new batteries are installed, then it may take longer for the camera to shut down, depending on the type of batteries in use.)

CAUTION

• To avoid losing images stored on the card, always switch the camera off before you open the card cover, remove the card or batteries, or disconnect the AC adapter.

To switch the camera off

1 Close the lens barrier halfway until you hear it click slightly, and then wait for the lens to retract automatically.
2 After the lens retracts, close the lens barrier completely until you hear a click. This allows to close the flash.
3 Close the flash.

• The pictures you have taken are stored on the SmartMedia card and will not be lost after the power is turned off, or when batteries are replaced.

CAUTION

• To avoid damaging the lens, never push the lens barrier against the lens. Always wait for the lens to retract automatically.

Checking the Monitor

1. There is a limit to the number of frames that may be shot when operating the shutter button a single time.
2. The maximum movie length may be different from the table above for C-200 ZOOM models sold in the PAL color system regions if movie pictures are shot with the video cable connected.

Shooting Technique Depends on Distance to the Subject

Deciding whether to use the viewfinder or the monitor display when shooting depends on the distance between you and your subject. Determine the approximate distance before taking the picture.

For normal and long-range photography (from approx. 1.5m (59^ ) to (infinity)):

We recommend using the viewfinder.

For close-ups (from 0.8m (31") to approx. 1.5m (59')):

Although you can use the viewfinder to take pictures, in some cases it is better to use the monitor. See below for details.

For extreme close-ups (0.2m (8") ~ 0.8m (31")):

Use the macro mode and compose the shot with the monitor to take pictures. Although it is possible to take such shots without using the macro mode, proper exposure and focus may not be achieved.

Characteristics of the viewfinder and the monitor

You can use either the monitor or the viewfinder to determine the proper shooting range. Consider the following when deciding whether to use the viewfinder or the monitor for a particular shot:

Viewfinder

Advantage: You can maintain the proper subject composition with less camera movement.

Disadvantage: Close-up photography causes inconsistencies between the picture frame as seen in the viewfinder and the actual edge of the picture.

Monitor

Advantage: You can check the subject composition more accurately.

Disadvantage: It is more difficult to hold the camera steady, and battery life is decreased.

Taking Still Pictures

1 Compose the shot in the viewfinder. (The area of the actual picture will be slightly larger than the composed shot.)
2 Half-press and hold down the shutter button until the green lamp next to the viewfinder lights.
3 Slowly full-press the shutter button. The camera beeps when the shot is completed and the green lamp next to the viewfinder will flash as the image is stored. If the orange lamp next to the viewfinder lights, the flash will fire automatically.
4 Wait for the green lamp next to the viewfinder to stop flashing before you take another picture.

• Always make sure the green lamp is off before you take another picture.
• The time you must wait between shots while the green lamp is blinking (2 to 40 sec.) depends on the record mode selected.

(Larger images require more time for storing.)

CAUTION

• To avoid losing images stored on the card, including the image currently being stored, while the green lamp next to the viewfinder is flashing, never remove the batteries, remove the card, or disconnect the AC adapter.

1 With the lens barrier open, press the monitor button (IOI).
2 Compose the shot in the monitor.
3 To complete the shot, continue from Step 2 in the previous section for taking pictures through the viewfinder.
4 To release the camera from monitor shooting, press the monitor button (口).

When shooting with the monitor:

• The memory gauge is displayed while the shot is being stored.
• When the memory gauge displays full, you must wait several seconds for the memory gauge to go off before you can take the next shot.
• The memory gauge may be displayed for a short or long time, depending on the selected record mode. (Larger images require more time for storing.)

CAUTION

• To avoid losing images stored on the card, including the image currently being stored, while the green lamp next to the viewfinder is flashing, never remove the batteries, remove the card, or disconnect the AC adapter.

Taking Better Pictures

• Depending on the distance from the subject to camera, the final picture may not match the image in the viewfinder, and zooming in can make the discrepancy even greater. Use the monitor for close-ups.
• Subjects may be difficult to focus if they (1) have little contrast, (2) appear excessively bright in the center, (3) have no vertical lines, (4) are at varying distances, (5) are moving quickly, or (6) not within the AF target mark.

To correct the situation either:

• Focus the camera at something the same distance as your subject, allow it to focus, then aim it back at the subject and shoot.
• Set the focus at .

For subjects with no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically to focus, then move it back to the horizontal position to take the shot.

1 Subjects with low contrast

2 Subjects that appear excessively bright in the center

3 Subjects with no vertical lines

4 Subjects of varying distances

5 Fast-moving subjects

6 Subjects not within the AF target mark

AF target mark

The selftimer lamp lights up and then blinks. The shutter is released after 12 seconds the shutter button is pressed. The selftimer is automatically cancelled after taking a picture.

Using the Flash

Switching Between Flash Modes

The camera is automatically set to auto-flash mode when the power is turned on. Changing the flash mode to other settings will cause the flash mode mark to be displayed on the monitor.

Each time you press , the flash mode settings are displayed in order.

Flash mode	Function/purpose:
→Auto-flash ↓ (no Mark)	Automatically fires in lowlight and backlit conditions.
Red-eye reduction ↓	Significantly reduces the red-eye phenomenon (i.e. when the flash causes a subject's eyes to appear red in the picture).
Fill-in flash ↓	Fires regardless of available light.
No flash ↓	Flash does not fire regardless of the lighting conditions. Good for taking photos where flash is prohibited.
Night scenes ↓	Taking photos at night using the flash and slow shutter speeds.
Night scenes + Red-eye reduction	Taking photos of people at night using flash and slow shutter speeds.

Auto-Flash

In auto-flash mode, the flash will automatically fire in lowlight and backlit conditions.

To fire the flash in a backlit shot, position the subject inside the AF target mark.

Red-eye Reduction ( ⑨ )

When shooting people, eyes may appear red. Use the red-eye reduction flash mode to compensate for this phenomenon.

In the red-eye reduction flash mode, the camera will emit a series of rapid pre-flashes before the actual flash fires. This makes the subject's pupils contract, significantly reducing the red-eye effect. Be sure to hold the camera firmly until the shutter releases, which takes approximately one second.

Fill-in Flash ( )

Forces the flash to fire on every shot.

Using the fill-in flash mode, the flash fires regardless of available light. This feature can be used to light up a subject's face, when shaded by a tree for example, or to correct uneven lighting conditions caused by backlighting, fluorescent lighting, etc. This mode may not have the desired effect in excessively bright light.

No Flash ( ① )

Use this mode in situations where flash photography is prohibited, such as art museums and live stage performances, or when taking pictures in twilight or of night scenes.

The shutter speed automatically slows down to 1/2 second in low-light situations. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurriness caused by camera movement.

Night Scenes ( )

For taking pictures at night, using flash and slow shutter speeds. This setting fires the flash to expose the foreground while the shutter stays open to expose the details in the background.

Night Scenes + Red-eye Reduction ( ⋅ Ⓞ )

The combination of these two modes works best for taking pictures of people at night.

The night scene flash and red-eye reduction flash both operate at the same time.

The shutter speed automatically slows down to 1/2 second in low-light conditions. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurriness caused by camera movement.

The flash will fire automatically when necessary.
