SHOOTING BASICS

Mode dial

The shooting modes include modes where the optimal settings for the situation are automatically selected, and modes where you can select the settings best suited to the shooting conditions and the effect you wish to achieve.

You can change the shooting mode before and after turning the camera on.

En

Mode dial

AUTO Full-auto shooting

Allows you to take still pictures using no special functions or manual adjustments. The camera sets the optimal focusing and exposure. This is the simplest of all shooting modes.

Portrait shooting

Suitable for taking a portrait-style shot of a person. This mode features an infocus subject against a blurred background. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Sports shooting

Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blur. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Landscape shooting

Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Night Scene shooting

Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of a street at night in AUTO mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with the background underexposed and without details. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the street is captured. The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod.

P Program shooting

Allows you to take still pictures. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed. Other functions, such as flash modes and drive modes, can be adjusted manually.

A/S/M Aperture priority/Shutter priority/Manual shooting

When the mode dial is set to A/S/M, the following items can be set with the menus.

A Aperture priority shooting

Allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically.

Press to increase the aperture value (f number).

Press to decrease the aperture value (f number).

S Shutter priority shooting

Allows you to set the shutter speed manually. The camera sets the aperture automatically.

Press to set a faster shutter speed.

Press to set a slower shutter speed.

M Manual shooting

Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually.

Press to increase the aperture value (f number).

Press to decrease the aperture value (f number).

Press to set a faster shutter speed.

Press to set a slower shutter speed.

My My Mode

Allows you to save your favorite settings as your own personal mode and use these customized settings when taking pictures. Current settings can also be saved for retrieving by this mode.

Movie record

En

Allows you to record movies. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed automatically. Even if the subject moves during recording or the distance to the subject changes, correct focusing and exposure are maintained continuously. If 出 is set to ON, sound is recorded at the same time.

TAKING STILL PICTURES

IF CORRECT FOCUS CANNOT BE OBTAINED (FOCUS LOCK)

When the subject cannot be focused on, you can focus the camera on another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture as explained below.

1 Position the AF target mark on the subject you want to focus on.

• When shooting a hard-to-focus subject or a fast-moving subject, point the camera at an object about the same distance away as the subject.

2 Press the shutter button halfway until the green lamp lights.

• When the focus and exposure are locked, the green lamp lights.
• The AF target mark moves to the focused position.
• When the green lamp blinks, the focus and exposure are not locked. Release your finger from the shutter button, re-position your subject and press the shutter button halfway again.

AF target mark

3 Keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, recompose your shot.

4 Press the shutter button fully.

RECORDING MOVIES

1 Set the mode dial to and press the power switch.

• It takes longer to store movies than still pictures.
• The remaining recording time varies depending on the record mode and the amount of space available on the card.
• This camera cannot play back sound.

ZOOMING IN ON A SUBJECT (OPTICAL ZOOM)

In addition to the optical zoom, this camera is equipped with a super zoom and digital zoom for taking telephoto and wide-angle shots. You can increase the zoom magnification by combining the super zoom or digital zoom with the optical zoom. The super zoom and digital zoom cannot be used at the same time.

Camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications. Stabilize the camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.

1 Push or pull the zoom lever.

• Wide-angle: Push the zoom lever toward W to zoom out.
• Telephoto: Pull the zoom lever toward T to zoom in.

2 Take the picture.

USING THE FLASH

1 Press the flash button.

The flash pops up.

2 Set the flash mode by repeatedly pressing

• The flash mode changes in the sequence shown below (when all modes are available).

• To prevent the flash from firing, press down on the top of the flash to retract it.

3 Press the shutter button halfway.

Fill-in flash (4)

The flash always fires every time the shutter button is pressed.

Flash off (④)

The flash does not fire even in low light conditions.

Slow synchronization (SLOW1 SLOW2 SLOW1)

1st curtain (front curtain) SLOW1 (factory default setting):

Adjusts the flash for slow shutter speeds.

2nd curtain (rear curtain) SLOW2:

The 2nd curtain fires the flash just before the shutter closes.

1st curtain with red-eye reduction SLOW1:

Adjusts the flash for slow shutter speeds, and minimizes red-eye.

USING THE SELF-TIMER

This function lets you take pictures using the self-timer. Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting. This function is useful for taking pictures where you want to be included in the photograph.

1 Select by repeatedly pressing .

2 Press the shutter button fully to take the picture.

• Pressing the shutter button halfway locks the focus and exposure.

ADVANCED SHOOTING

SEQUENTIAL SHOOTING

There are 4 sequential shooting modes: sequential shooting, high speed sequential shooting, AF sequential shooting and auto bracketing. Sequential shooting modes can be selected from the DRIVE mode menu.

Sequential shooting cannot be performed when the record mode is set to TIFF.

Drive mode

Shoots 1 frame at a time when the shutter button is pressed. (Normal shooting mode, single-frame shooting)

Focus, exposure and white balance are locked at the first frame. Approx. 7 frames at 1.6 frames/sec. (in HQ mode)

Hi Pictures can be taken at a faster speed than normal sequential shooting. The sequential shooting speed varies depending on the record mode setting. 2 frames at 2.1 frames/sec.

AF Focus is individually locked for each frame. The AF sequential shooting speed is slower than for normal sequential shooting.

BKT When auto bracketing is set, the exposure is changed automatically for each frame when you start shooting. The exposure differential and number of frames can be selected in the menus. The focus and white balance are locked at the first frame.

METERING

There are three ways of measuring the brightness of a subject.

ESP metering : Meters the center of the subject and the surrounding area separately.

Spot metering : Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target area. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light.

Multi-metering : Meters the brightness of the subject at up to 8 different points to set the optimal exposure based on the average brightness. This method is useful with a high contrast subject.

AE LOCK

This function is suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve, such as when there is excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings.

MACRO MODE SHOOTING

Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (W: 7 cm/2.8" to 60 cm/2.0 ft., T: 1.2 m/3.9 ft. to 2 m/6.6 ft.). However, in the mode focusing is performed quickly. When the optical zoom lever is at the maximum wide position and you are as close as 7 cm/2.8" to your subject, you can fill the entire frame with your subject.

SUPER MACRO MODE SHOOTING

This mode lets you shoot from as close as 3cm / 1.2 to your subject. In the mode, normal shooting is also possible, but the position of the zoom is fixed automatically and cannot be changed.

En

MANUAL FOCUS

If auto focus is unable to focus on a subject, use manual focus.
