In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the street can be captured. The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition.

OLYMPUS D-40ZOOM - Night Scene shooting - 1

Single-frame shooting ☐ : Shoots 1 frame at a time when the shutter button is pressed all the way. (normal shooting)

Sequential shooting ☐ : Shoots pictures sequentially. Focus, exposure and white balance are locked at the first frame.

AF Sequential shooting AF: Shoots pictures sequentially. Focus is adjusted for each frame automatically. The AF Sequential shooting speed is lower than normal sequential shooting.

Auto bracketing BKT : Shoots multiple frames of the same picture, each with a different exposure value. Focus and white balance are locked at the first frame.

In the top menu, select MODE MENU → CAMERA → DRIVE→ select a mode.

Spot metering P A/S/M My

There are 2 metering methods: Digital ESP metering and spot metering.

Digital ESP metering: Meters the center of the subject and the area around it.

Spot metering: Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target mark. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light. In the working range of the macro mode, spot metering is also available (spot metering+macro mode).

Press the 🎨/☐ button repeatedly until ☐ (Spot metering) or ☐ (Spot metering+Macro mode) appears on the control panel.

■ Macro mode shooting

OLYMPUS D-40ZOOM - ■ Macro mode shooting - 1

Usually focusing is slow when you get as close as 0.1 m - 0.8 m (0.3 ft - 2.6 ft) to the subject. However, in the ⚪ mode focusing is performed quickly. The ⚪ (macro) mode allows you to shoot close to the subject (within 0.1 m - 0.8 m (0.3 ft - 2.6 ft)). With the zoom lever is pressed to the maximum W position, you can fill the entire frame with your subject.

If you are close to a subject, the picture area in the viewfinder is different from the picture that the camera actually records. For macro mode shooting, we recommend using the monitor.

Press the 🎨/☐ button repeatedly until ⚪ (Macro mode) or ☐ (Spot metering+Macro mode) appears on the control panel.

■ Exposure Compensation

OLYMPUS D-40ZOOM - ■ Exposure Compensation - 1

This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure setting. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust between +/-2.0 in 1/2 steps.
