A large aperture value focuses the subject and blurs the background for portrait shots, and a small aperture value will focus both foreground and background for group shots or scenery. · S (Shutter priority mode) You set the shutter speed while the camera selects the correct aperture value. Use a fast shutter speed to freeze moving subjects, or select a slow shutter speed to create the effect of blurred motion. · M (Manual mode) You set the aperture and shutter speed manually to achieve special effects in your pictures. Selecting the Metering Method The metering method determines whether the camera meters the light in a wide or smaller area of the picture composed in the viewfinder. Hold down the metering mode button on top of the camera, and then turn the main dial or sub dial until you see the icon for the metering method that you want to set displayed in the viewfinder or control panel. English Control Panel ESP Method Digital ESP metering. The entire image is metered for light and brightness patterns. Displayed only in the control panel. Center weighted averaging metering. Meters the entire picture, yet concentrates on the area in the mark in the viewfinder, approximately 3 times the size of the spot metering area. Displayed in the viewfinder and control panel. Spot metering. Only the area covered by the spot metering mark in the viewfinder is metered, approximately 1.2% of the viewfinder display. Displayed in the viewfinder and control panel. Adjusting Aperture Value Set the mode dial to A (Aperture priority mode), and then turn the main dial or sub dial to adjust the aperture value in 1/3 increments. Turn the main dial to the right (or turn the sub dial clockwise) for a large aperture or turn the main dial to the left (or turn the sub dial counterclockwise) for a smaller aperture. The selected aperture value is displayed in the viewfinder and control panel. The diameter of the aperture is inversely proportional to the aperture value. The larger the aperture value the smaller the diameter of the aperture and the greater the depth of field, allowing both the subject and background to be in sharp focus. The smaller the aperture value, the larger the diameter of the aperture and the shallower the depth of field, allowing you to focus the subject against a blurred background. Adjusting Shutter Speed Set the mode dial to S (Shutter priority mode), and then turn the main dial or sub dial to select a shutter speed. For every position that you move the dial the shutter speed is increased (or decreased) in 1/3 steps. Turn the main dial to the right (or turn the sub dial clockwise) for a faster shutter speed or turn the main dial to the left (or turn the sub dial counterclockwise) for a slower shutter speed. (range: 1/640 to 2 sec.) The selected shutter speed is displayed in the viewfinder and control panel. The built-in flash may not be effective with a shutter speed of 1/ 250 or higher. 21 Focusing The camera can focus a subject automatically. Set the focus mode switch to AF (Automatic Focus). Compose the picture with the AF target mark in the center of the viewfinder on the subject. If you compose the picture with the monitor, make sure the subject is in the center of the monitor. Half-press the shutter button until the camera beeps and the AF correct mark in the viewfinder lights, and then fullpress the shutter button to take the picture. To focus a difficult subject If the AF correct mark in the lower left corner of the viewfinder continues to blink the camera cannot achieve focus automatically. Some subjects are difficult to focus. Subject of low contrast A subject without distinct patterns could be difficult to focus. Subject without vertical lines The camera cannot focus on a subject with only horizontal lines. Hold the camera vertically, half-press the shutter button, and then hold it down to lock the focus. Re-position the camera horizontally, compose the picture, and then full-press the shutter button to shoot the picture. Moving subject It is impossible to hold a fast moving object in the center of the viewfinder long enough for automatic focusing, so lock the focus on an object that is at the same distance from the camera as the subject you want to shoot, wait for the subject to appear, and then shoot the picture. Shooting through glass or glaring surface Subject with center glare A subject with center glare could be difficult to focus. A picture taken through a window, or shooting a glaring surface like shiny metal, could be difficult to focus. If this problem occurs, set the focus mode switch to MF (manual focus) and focus the subject manually. Backlit subjects Strongly backlit subjects could be difficult to focus. Set the focus mode switch to MF (manual focus) and focus the subject manually. In such situations, you can use substitute focusing. Compose a picture with the AF target mark in the viewfinder on an object that is the same distance from the camera as the subject that you want to shoot. Half-press the shutter button to focus on the substitute object, keep the shutter button half pressed, compose the picture again with the original subject and then full-press the shutter button to take the picture. (If you are waiting for a fast moving subject to appear, keep the shutter button half pressed until the subject appears in the viewfinder.) Two objects at different distances from the camera The camera cannot autofocus on a single subject with two objects at different distances from the camera in the viewfinder. Subject in light from street lights and windows A subject at night in light from street lights or from building windows could be difficult to focus. 22 To focus manually Set the focus mode switch to MF (Manual Focus). Turn the manual focus ring until you see the subject focused in the viewfinder or the monitor. The image in the monitor is doublesize to make focusing easier, and the camerato-subject distance is displayed in the lower part of the monitor. White Balance The light source can affect how the camera reproduces color. Normally, the camera uses a white portion of the composed picture as a base to reproduce other colors, but if the picture does not contain white, or if you are shooting under artificial lights (especially fluorescent lights), you may need to adjust the white balance to achieve the most natural color reproduction in your pictures. White balance can be adjusted three ways. · Auto white balance. The camera performs balance color automatically using a white portion of the composed picture as a reference. Press and hold down the white balance mode button , turn the main dial or sub dial until you see -A- in the viewfinder and control panel, or AUTO WB in the monitor, and then take the picture. · Quick reference white balance. Under the same light source where you intend to take the picture, point the camera at a white surface (wall, sheet of paper, etc.), fill the viewfinder with the white surface, and then press the quick reference white balance button on the front of the camera. When you see GOOD displayed in the monitor, button to save the setting, and press the then take the picture. If you see NO GOOD, this means that not enough white surface was available, the white surface reflected too much light, or color around the corners of the sheet interfered with the registration. · Preset white balance. Hold down the white balance mode button , and then turn the main dial or sub dial until you see the desired color temperature setting, and then release the button. Select AUTO, a color temperature setting in the range 3000K to 7500K, or Quick Reference. Exposure Compensation Use exposure compensation to manually increase or decrease the exposure setting automatically selected by the camera to create a brighter or darker image. Set the mode dial to P, A or S. Hold down the exposure , and then turn the compensation button main dial or sub dial to select the exposure. Exposure compensation can be adjusted in the range of ±3EV in 1/3EV steps. You can confirm changes in brightness in the range ±2EV on the monitor. English AE Lock Point the camera at the subject, press the automatic exposure lock button , halfpress the shutter button to focus the subject automatically, and then full-press to take the picture. The exposure setting will not change as long as the button is depressed so you can continue to shoot with the same exposure setting. Bracketing Shots You can set the camera to automatically bracket a shot with three different exposure settings at 1/3EV, 2/3EV or 1EV full exposure step for each shot. Changing ISO The ISO setting is equivalent to the ISO settings performed with traditional SLR cameras that employ film. 23 Setting the Record Mode The record mode settings determine the quality of the images and also affects the file sizes. The better the quality, the larger the file size. Hold down the record mode button , and then turn the main dial or sub dial to the left until you see the desired setting in the control panel (TIFF, SHQ, HQ, SQ), or turn to the right to display them in reverse order. The settings are translated as follows: TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), SHQ (Super High Quality), HQ (High Quality), SQ (Standard Quality). Setting TIFF SHQ HQ SQ 1 Using the Self-Timer The self-timer delays shutter release for 12 seconds so you can include yourself in a group picture.
