About the Autofocus Function This camera employs AiAF (artificial intelligence autofocus) technology which uses a broad metering field to calculate the focal distance with high precision. It delivers a crisp focus even when the photographic subject is slightly off-center. Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded Image Usually the recorded image is wider than the image seen in the viewfinder. Confirm the actual image size with the LCD monitor. The image recorded may differ from the image seen in the viewfinder due to the distance between the viewfinder and lens (especially with close-ups). If you use the viewfinder to take close-up shots, portions of the close-up subject may not appear in the recorded image. For this reason it is better to use the LCD monitor when taking close-up shots.

Program AE

Use the program AE mode to have the camera automatically set the shutter speed and aperture value to match the brightness of the scene.
The shutter speed and aperture value will automatically appear on the LCD monitor. The correct exposure has been set if the shutter speed and aperture value show in white. For functions available in this mode, see page 212. If a correct exposure cannot be obtained, the shutter speed and aperture value show in red on the LCD monitor. Use the following methods to obtain the correct exposure and make them show in white. - Use the flash. - Change the ISO speed setting. - Change the light metering mode. Differences and Similarities between the and Modes. Both modes automatically select the shutter speed and aperture value. The following settings can be adjusted in mode, but mode. not in - Exposure Compensation - White Balance - ISO Speed - Flash (Flash on) - Photo Effects - Continuous Shooting - Light Metering Mode - Manual Focus - Auto Focus For the correlation between aperture value and shutter speed, see page 90.
Setting the Shutter Speed
When you set the shutter speed in the shutter-priority AE mode, the camera automatically selects an aperture value to match the brightness. Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in dark areas.
The shutter speed appears on the LCD monitor.
2 Select a speed using the left or right button.
The correct exposure has been set if the shutter speed and aperture value show in white.
If the aperture value shows in red, the image is under exposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light). Adjust the shutter speed using the left and right buttons until the aperture value display turns to white. The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality images. Nevertheless, a certain amount of processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.
For functions available in this mode, see page 212. Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. If the camera shake warning appears on the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting. The aperture value and shutter speed change according to the zoom state as follows. Aperture F 2.8 F 3.2 4.0 F 4.5 8.0 F 4.9 F 5.6 7.1 F 8.0 Shutter Speed (seconds) to 1/1000 to 1/1250 to 1/2000 to 1/1000 to 1/1250 to 1/2000

Wide Angle

The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/500 second. The camera automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed is selected (p. 66). Shutter Speed Display The numbers in the table below indicate the shutter speed in seconds. For slower speeds, quote marks indicate the decimal place, so that 0"3 indicates 0.3 second and 2" indicates 2 seconds. 1/2000 1/1600 1/1250 1/1000 1/800 1/640 1/500 1/400 1/320 1/250 1/200 1/160 1/125 1/100 1/80 1/60 1/50 1/40 1/30 1/25 1/20 1/15 1/13 1/10 1/8 1/6 1/5 1/4 0"3 0"4 0"5 0"6 0"8 1" 1"3 1"6 2" 2"5 3"2 4" 5" 6" 8" 10" 13" 15"

Setting the Aperture

The aperture adjusts the amount of light that passes through the lens. Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur the background. A higher aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from foreground to background into focus.
The aperture value appears on the LCD monitor.
2 Select a value using the left or right button.
If the shutter speed shows in red on the LCD monitor, the image is under exposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light). Adjust the aperture value using the left and right buttons until the shutter speed display turns white. Some aperture values may not be available with certain zoom positions (p. 90).
Aperture Value Display The larger the aperture value, the smaller the lens aperture. F2.8 F3.2 F3.5 F4.0 F4.5 F4.9 F5.0 F5.6 F6.3 F7.1 F8.0
For functions available in this mode, see page 212. Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low appears shutter speeds. If the camera shake warning on the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting. In this mode, the shutter speed range with synchronized flash is 1/60 second to 1/500 second. The aperture value setting may therefore be changed automatically to match the synchronized flash speed even if its value was set previously.
Manually Setting the Shutter Speed and Aperture
