21 SETTING THE CAMERA TO RECORD IMAGES AUTOMA TICALL Y T urn the mode dial to automatic recording (1); all camera operations are now fully automatic. The autofocus, exposure, and imaging systems will work together to bring beautiful results effortlessly .
AUTO-RECORDING MODE ZOOM LENS AND DIGIT AL ZOOM 22 This camera is equipped with a 7.15 to 28.6mm optical zoom. This is equivalent to a 35 to 140mm zoom lens on a 35mm camera. In 35mm photography , focal lengths below 50mm are referred to as wide-angle; the angle of view is larger than that of the human eye.
23 BASIC RECORDING OPERA TION Place the subject within the focus frame. • The focus-lock function (p. 24) can be used with off-center subjects. • Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the lens: 0.5m - ∞ (wide-angle position), 0.9m - ∞ (telephoto position.
24 FOCUS LOCK The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject. This function is controlled with the shutter-release button.
FOCUS SIGNALS SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUA TIONS This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The focus icon in the lower right corner of the LCD monitor and the green focus lamp next to the viewfinder indicate the focus status. Focus confirmed.
26 AUTO-RECORDING MODE Captured images can be viewed in auto-recording and multi-function recording mode. Simply press the QV/delete button to access the images, and use the controller to scroll through the pictures on the CompactFlash card. Images can be displayed with various information: date, frame number , printing status, and lock status.
T o delete a displayed image, press the QV/delete button. • A confirmation screen will appear . 27 In quick view , the displayed image can be deleted. When selecting an image for deletion, a confirmation screen will appear before the operation is executed.
The digital-subject-program button (1) optimizes the camera’s performance for various conditions and subjects. Exposure, white-balance, and image- processing systems work in unison for beautiful results. Pressing the subject-program button cycles through the modes: macro, portrait, landscape, night portrait, text, and the original exposure mode.
TEXT – for the crisp reproduction of black text on white backgrounds. The flash will not fire in this mode when set to an autoflash mode(p. 30). • Use a tripod to eliminate camera shake and ensure the sharpest images. NIGHT PORTRAIT – for deep, subtle night scenes.
30 AUTO-RECORDING MODE Autoflash Fill-flash Flash cancel Autoflash with red-eye reduction Fill-flash with red-eye reduction LCD monitor Data panel Autoflash – the flash fires automatically in low-light and backlit conditions.
31 If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be safely hand held, the camera- shake warning will appear on the LCD monitor and the orange focus lamp will blink slowly . Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto set- ting of the lens than at the wide-angle setting.
32 AUTO-RECORDING MODE The drive modes control the rate and method images are capture. Icons indicating the selected drive mode appear on the data panel and LCD monitor . T o change the drive mode, simply press the drive-mode button (1) on the back of the camera until the desired mode is displayed.

35 The continuous-advance drive mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-release button. Continuous advance acts like a motor drive on a film camera. The number of images that can be captured at one time and the rate of capture depend on the image-quality and image-size setting.
This mode makes a three image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. The bracketing mode is set with the drive-mode button (p. 32). Brackets cannot be made with super-fine images (p.
37 LCD monitor off The display-information button controls the LCD monitor display . The display cycles to the next position each time the button is pressed: full display , live image only , and monitor off.

Custom-white-balance function allows a photographer to calibrate the camera to a specific lighting condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting conditions or when critical control over color is needed.
MUL TI-FUNCTION RECORDING FOCUS MODES 56 This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is set in the Basic section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p.
57 CAMERA SENSITIVITY – ISO FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY Flash range (wide angle) ISO setting AUTO 100 200 400 800 0.5m ~ 3.5m (1.6 ft. ~ 1 1.5 ft.) Flash range (telephoto) 0.9m ~ 3.0m (3.0 ft. ~ 9.8 ft.) 0.5m ~ 2.4m (1.6 ft. ~ 7.8 ft.) 0.5m ~ 3.
The icons indicating both metering modes are displayed on the monitor only . The metering mode is set in the Custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 50). Multi-segment metering uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color . This data is combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure.
59 EXPOSURE BRACKETING In multi-function recording mode, the bracketing increment can be changed in three steps: 0.3 Ev , 0.5 Ev , 1.0 Ev . The larger the number , the greater the difference in exposure between the images in the bracketing series. For information on the bracketing drive mode, see page 36.
Changes in color , sharpness, contrast, and saturation can be made using the Custom 2 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 50). These imaging controls give photographers the ability to maximize the image information at the scene.
61 BULB EXPOSURES Bulb photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode (M) (p. 53). Exposures up to fifteen seconds can be made by pressing and holding the shutter-release button. The use of a tripod is recommended for bulb exposures. T o set the aperture value, press the exposure-compensation button (2); the aperture display will turn blue.
The lens aperture controls not only exposure, but also depth of field; the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus. The smaller the aperature (the larger the aperture number), the greater the depth of field and the longer the shutter speed needed to make the expo- sure.
63 The shutter controls not only exposure, but also the ability to stop motion. Fast shutter speeds are used in sport photography to stop action. Slow shutter speeds can be used to show the flow of motion such as water cas- cading over a waterfall. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow shutter speeds.
64 This camera can record up to sixty seconds of digital video with sound. The motion JPEG image is 320 X 240 pixels (QVGA). The ef fective image area is 304 X 240 pixels; two thin lines will appear to the left and right of the image when played back.
Shooting digital video is simple. Set the main dial to movie recording (1). Frame the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 23). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus and exposure. Press the shutter-release button all the way down and release to start recording (2).
