PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

FOCUSING (DISTANCE)

EXPOSURE (SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE)
Exposure refers to the light that hits the CCD or the total amount of captured light and determines the brightness of the image. The exposure is determined by the combination of aperture and shutter speed. In AE (Autoexposure), the camera determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as the brightness of the subject and the sensitivity setting.
The graph at left shows the way the aperture and shutter speed settings can be changed while maintaining the same exposure level.

Closed

The distance from the subject to the camera is referred to as the shooting distance. When the shooting distance is set correctly and the image appears sharp, the image is focused.

Three focusing methods

There are mechanisms for focusing: (1) Single AF (S-AF); (2) Continuous AF (C-AF); and (3) Manual focus (MF). S-AF : In this mode, the camera focuses each time the shutter button is pressed down halfway. Select the AF mode when the Mode dial is set to N, M, < or > mode. C-AF : When this mode is set, the camera focuses continuously on the subject in the center of the screen. Use this mode to photograph moving subjects. See P.47 for details. MF : With the D button held down, press the T or W button to focus the shot. See P.48 for details.
Causes of focusing errors and the solutions
The subject is not suited to AF. The subject is outside the shooting range. The subject is moving too quickly. Turn Macro mode on or off.2 Use MF (pre-setting the shooting distance for a shot).

Solution

h When the aperture is decreased by one step, the shutter speed also decreases by one step (the dot moves upper left). h When the aperture is increased by one step, the shutter speed also increases by one step (the dot moves lower right). h Combinations that result in the shutter speed or aperture being outside the available range of settings cannot be selected (white dots). h In the N, M and < Photography modes, it is easy to select different settings along this line. h Selecting settings that run parallel to this line by adjusting the brightness of the photographed image is referred to as exposure compensation.

(Ap erture)

Use AF lock (AF mode: AF (CENTER))1 or MF.

(Shutter speed)
