Fill-in flash

The flash fires regardless of available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subjects face or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lightning (especially fluorescent light). Fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

Flash shooting (Cont.)

Chapter 4 Flash off
The flash does not fire even in low-light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, or when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene. Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.

Slow Synchronization

The Slow Synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera movement. But when shooting a night scene background, fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow Synchronization flash allows both a slow shutter speed for the background and a flash for the subject.
SLOW1: 1st curtain (front curtain) Usually, regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens. This is called 1st curtain. Unless you change it, this is how the flash always fires.
SLOW2: 2nd curtain (rear curtain) In contrast to 1st curtain, 2nd curtain fires the flash just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the taillights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out. Slowest possible shutter speeds: S mode: 4 sec. M mode: 16 sec. P/A mode: 1 sec. (NOISE REDUCTION OFF), 4 sec. (NOISE REDUCTION ON) When the shutter speed is set to 4 sec.

Picture size and printing The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots (pixels) per square inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi value, the higher the resolution, and the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the picture you want to print does not change to match the printer resolution. This means that when you print an image with a lower resolution than the printer, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease. If you want to be able to print large, high-quality pictures, set the picture size in the camera as high as possible (higher record mode) (P. 103).
How to print pictures (Cont.)
Images taken with this camera can also be printed using a printer or at a photo lab that supports the Design rule for Camera File system/DCF. DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera. Make changes using the original device. If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations. Even if an image appears with the message PICTURE ERROR, Print reserve may be performed on it. In such a case, the print reserve icon ( ) does not appear where an image is displayed for full view. Since appears where multiple images are displayed (index-display mode), it is possible to confirm the print reserve status. This camera cannot be directly connected to printers such as the Olympus P-300 digital printer. Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo labs. If you are printing using the P-330N(E) , only the first 999 images can be printed. Print reserve may take considerable time in some cases. Print reserve cannot be done when using a card with a write-protect seal.

Glossary of terms

A (Aperture Priority) Mode You set the aperture yourself and the camera automatically varies the shutter speed so that the picture is taken with the best exposure. AE (Automatic Exposure) The camera's built-in exposure meter automatically sets the exposure. The 3 AE modes available on this camera are P mode, in which the camera selects both the aperture and shutter speed, A mode, in which the user selects the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed, and S mode, in which the user selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture. In M mode, the user selects both the aperture and the shutter speed. Aperture This adjusts the amount of light that passes through the lens. Lower values allow more light to pass, while higher values lessen the amount of light. When you set the lowest aperture value for a lens, the aperture is at its widest. Conversely, the highest aperture value gives the narrowest aperture. Backlight A light source in the Monitor to let it be seen more easily. CCD (Charge-coupled Device) This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera, light is picked up at 4,13 million points and converted into RGB signals to build a single image. Contrast Detection Method This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the image is focused by the level of contrast in the subject. Conventional Photograph This refers to recording images using silver halide (the method for recording images in conventional, non-digital photography.) This system is in contrast to still video and digital photography. DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). Digital ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) light metering This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the center and other areas of the image separately.

precision. The 3X optical zoom also allows offers a seamless 7.5X digital zoom to get even closer to the action. The lens permits users to take shallower depth of field images for greater portrait photo opportunities and more freedom in low- light situations. ** Optimum Image Enlargement Mode - Enlarges images up to 3200 x 2400 pixels in SHQ or HQ mode. The C-4040 ZOOM uses a bicubic algorithm and a new high-speed ASIC chip to maximize image quality and processing speed, creating sharp pictures as large as 16"x20". ** Superior Image Quality - A 4.1 megapixel CCD and advanced imaging technology create exceptionally sharp, crisp high-resolution pictures. ** User Friendly Interface - A streamlined menu with user-selectable shortcut menus and custom buttons make the camera easy to navigate and program. ** USB Auto-Connect - Connect to any USB-compatible Windows computer (running Windows Me or 2000) or Macintosh (running MacOS 8.6+) for easy downloading of image files to computers without any additional software. ** Newly Designed Menu Navigation System - Never miss another moment fumbling through layers of camera settings. Custom buttons and shortcut settings make adjustments quick and easy. ** New Ruggedized Lens Barrel - The new rubber grip around the lens barrel provides for surer handling in any weather condition, and protects the lens even without a cap. A tethered line ensures the lens cap is never lost when one is used. ** Metering Modes : 1. The ESP multi-pattern meter looks at a variety of areas in the subject area for proper overall exposure. 2. Spot metering allows for pinpoint control of subject exposure using only the very center of the image area. 3. Multi-Spot metering mode that combines up to eight spot reading positions and averages them together for total control over subject exposure. ** Spot AF Function - A Spot AutoFocus function allows the camera to focus on points specifically selected by the photographer. ** White Balance - Get exacting control over white balance settings in any lighting condition and ensure proper color reproduction. The iESP multi-patterned white balance system automatically adjusts system settings to deliver the best image quality, or select one of the four

manual white balance presets for more precise control. In addition, a new +/-3 step white balance correction function enables minor adjustments in color tones. ** Sharpness and Contrast Settings - Get the best possible pictures every time. Flexible sharpness and contrast controls let the photographer take full control of final output quality. Soft, Normal and Hard Sharpness settings adjust the definition around the subject to meet any need. Low to High Contrast control regulates dark and light areas to capture any image with just the right amount of contrast and depth. ** QuickTime Movie with Sound - QuickTime Movie mode allows users to capture up to 120 seconds of video with simultaneously recorded sound.
