® E450_MASTER.fn Seite 31 Donnerstag, 16. April 2009 10:40 10 Shooting guides - Improving your shooting skills Basic function gl 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. You 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 {half-press) and all the way down (full press). Once you are able to operate the shutter button effectively, you can focus accurately even on moving subjects: Haley a Aihewey © éoum dou EL “Shooting” (P. 16), “Focus lock — If correct focus cannot be obtained” (P. 54) Even when the subject is in focus, the picture can become blurred if you move the camera while the shutter button is being pressed. This is called “camera shake”. Make sure how to proper hold the camera. The camera is particularly subject to shaking when using live view to take pictures while viewing the subject on the monitor. EE “Holding the camera” (P. 17) In addition to incorrect focusing and camera shake, movement of the subject can also cause blurring of the picture. In this case, use a shutter speed that matches the motion of te subject. You can confirm the actual shutter speed and aperture on the displays of the viewfinder and monitor by pressing the shutter button halfway. EE “Viewfinder (P. 6), “Super control panel” (P. 7), “LCD monitor (Live view)" (P. 8)

Brightness - Exposure compensation The camera automatically determines the aperture value and shutter speed according to the brighiness 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 exposure setting. Compensate the exposure toward + to enhance the brightness of a summer beach or the whiteness of snow. Compensate the exposure toward — 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, try taking several pictures at various settings and then compare the pictures. EE *Exposure compensation’ (P. 48), “AE bracketing” (P. 49) El

Color — White balance Besides sunlight, there are other sources for illuminating 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 slight} different colors. Even under the same sunlight, the colors in the picture differ depending on the sky conditions, the shadows of trees or buïldings, and other factors. White balance automatically corrects the effects from these types of lighting 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. EL “Selecting the white balance” (P. 60) Fluorescent ight ‘Tungsten light Shade of tree

L£_ This section describes the functions suitable under different shooting conditions depending on à Ê the subject. 4 Z Taking landscape pictures 5 This section describes how to take outdoor scenery pictures of forests, lakes and beaches in & dayight. 7 Changing shooting mode The proper shooting method varies depending on whether you are trying to capture the silence of a still 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. EN À

Changing 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 subie difference in color, try changing the white balance setting. Change the setting for different situations, such as by using [%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 brighiness of the water can differ significantly in different areas of the same composition. There is also a difference in the brightness 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 [3] (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 [(5)] {center weighted metering) or [Cs-J] (spot metering), adjust the metering area to the locations that you want to adjust the exposure and then measure the exposure. 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 two levels of high and low settings. When the setting is high, a vivid color is used. LS ‘Aperture priority shooting" (P. 43), “Shutter priority shooting" (P. 44), “Changing the metering mode” (P. 47), “Exposure compensation" (P. 48), “Selecting the white balance” (P. 60), “SATURATION] : Vividness of the color” (P. 64) 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. Changing white balance There are many colors of flowers ranging from light to vivid ones. Depending on the colors of the flowers, subtie 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 EQs7500K] 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 ‘The proper shooting method when taking pictures of flowers 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 10 A (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 depih 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, itwas 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. Changing lenses supis Bupoous no Bujno1duu — sepin6 Bunoous When the blooming flowers are fewr 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 lo achieve this effect when the focal length of the lens is longer, such as 150 mm or 200 mm, rather than 54 mm. LS ‘Aperture priority shooting” (P. 43), “Using live view" (P. 36), “Exposure compensation” (P. 48), “Selecting the white balance” (P. 60)

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. If a tipod 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, it 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 (aperture 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 turns 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 100 dark or you cannot focus in time to take pictures, such as during a fireworks display, set the AF mode to [MF] (manual focus) and focus manually. 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 clearly. To take pictures of a fireworks display, adjust the focus of the lens to infinite unless you are using a long focus lens. If you know the approximate distance to the subject, itis recommended that you focus on something that is at the same distance in advance LY “Program shooting" (P. 43), “Aperture priority shooting” (P. 43), “Remote control shooting" (P. 57), ‘AF mode selection" (P. 51), “Noise reduction” (P. 65), “REC VIEW" (P. 90) suis Bupoous inof Buiaoiduu — sepin6 Bunoous

Available flash modes depend on the exposure mode. The flash modes are available to optional external flashes. Auto flash AUTO The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions. To shoot a subject with backlighting, position the AF target over the subject. Red-eye reduction flash ©O4 In the red-eye reduction flash mode, a series of r pre-flashes are emitted just before the regular Æ = flash fires. This helps accustom the subjects EN eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye : phenomenon. In S/M mode, the flash always re fires ‘The subjects eyes appear red Q notes - After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera shake.

• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking direct at pre-flashes, or ifthe shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness. Slow synchronization (1st curtain) # SLOW The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera shake. But when Shooting a subject against a night scene, fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow synchronization allows you to capture both îhe background and the subject. Since the shutter speed is slow, be sure to stabilize the camera by using a tripod so as not to cause the picture to be blurred 1st curtain Usually, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens. This is called 1st curtain. This method is usually used during flash shooting. Slow synchronization (2nd curtain) $ SLOW2/2nd CURTAIN 2nd curtain flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the tai-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out. In SIM mode, the flash always fires.

When shooting a subject against a night scene, this function allows you to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

® E450_MASTER.fm Seite 115 Donnerstag, 16. April 2009 10:40 10 Interchangeable lenses Select the lens that you want to shoot with. Use a specified Four Thirds lens (Four Thirds mount). When a non-specified lens is used, auto focus and light metering will not function correct. In some cases, other functions may not work either. Four Thirds mount Developed by Olympus as the lens mount standard for the Four Thirds system. These all-new interchangeable lenses featuring the Four Thirds mount were developed from the ground up based on optic engineering exclusively for digital cameras. ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lens Four Thirds system interchangeable lens are designed to withstand rigorous professional use: The Four Thirds system makes it possible for a fast lens to be compact and lightweight as well. Focal length and depth of field of Four Thirds system lenses When compared to 35-mm cameras, Four Thirds system cameras achieve different effects at the same focal length and aperture. Focal length At the same focal length of a 35-mm camera, a Four Thirds system camera can achieve a focal length equivalent to twice that of a 35-mm camera. This enables the design of compact telephoto lenses. À 14-50 mm Four Thirds system lens, for example, is equivalent to a 28-100 mm lens for a 35-mm camera + When the image angle of Four Thirds system lens is converted to that of a 35-mm camera, the perspective is the same as that of a 35-mm camera. Depth of Field À Four Thirds system camera can achieve a depth of field equivalent to two times deeper than that of a 35-mm camera. This enables more light to enter through the aperture. À Four Thirds system lens with f2.0 brighiness, for example, is equivalent to f4.0 when converted to the aperture of a 35-mm camera. + You can achieve the same amount of background blur as if you were using a 35-mm camera. Q notes + When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mount on the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter from getting inside the camera. + Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places. + Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera to malfunction or even ignite due to the magniing effect of sunlight focusing through the lens. + Be careful not t lose the body cap and rear cap. + Attach the body cap to the camera to prevent dust from getting inside when no lens is attached. uogeuoui

April 2009 10:40 10 A (Aperture Priority) Mode You set the aperture yourself and the camera automatically varies the shutter speed so that the picture is taken with the correct exposure. AE (Automatic Exposure) The cameras 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 aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed, and $ mode, in which the user selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture. In M mode, the user selects both the aperture 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 fistops. 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 low-light conditions. Center weighted averaging metering A light metering mode or technique that uses an average of the center and periphery of the image area but is biased toward the information at the center of the image area. This method is best used when the brighiness of the center and periphery of the image area does not vary greatly. See also digital ESP metering and spot metering. Color space À model that describes colors using more than three coordinates. Color spaces such as SRGB, 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 dificulties 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) À standard for image files 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.

Digital ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering This determines the exposure by splittng 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. Eclipsing (Vignetting) This refers lo 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 viewfinder 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 corners of the image: EV (Exposure Value) A 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 brighiness 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 converts 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. Imager contrast detection system &- Focusing method based on the contrast of the image of the subject captured on the image Ÿ pickup device. Iso International abbreviation for International Organization for Standardization. The sensitivity setting used in digital cameras is based on the same ISO standard used for film sensitivity. The sensitvity 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) A compression format for color still images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format when the Record mode is set to a setting other than [RAW]. By downloading these images to a personal computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an Intemet 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. If the 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. 8 + > & à

PictBridge A standard that enables digital cameras and printers made by different manufacturers to be connected, and also allows pictures to be printed directly from the camera. Pixels A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed images require millions of pixels. RAW Refers lo 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 a mirror Lo reflect the light entering from the shooting lens so the image can be checked in the viewfinder. There is no difference between the composition to be captured and the composition viewed on the viewinder. 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 shutter 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 difficult light conditions, or when the important element of the picture (subjects face) is small. Use spot S metering for backlit subjects, or sports and stage performers. See also digital ESP metering 7 and center weighted averaging metering. TET (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor À color monitor constructed using thin-film 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 directly measures the light passing through the lens.
