Zoom in/out during (movie record) mode When is set to ON in the menu during the mode, only digital zoom can function while shooting. For this reason, it is necessary to select the optical zoom magnification level by using the zoom lever before shooting. If DIGITAL ZOOM is set to OFF in the mode, zooming is not possible.
In the mode, you cannot use both the optical zoom and digital zoom. Images captured with the Digital Zoom may appear grainy. Camera movement is likely to happen at higher magnifications. Stabilize the camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.

Flash shooting

Select a flash mode appropriate to the lightning conditions and the effect you want to achieve. You can also adjust the amount of light emitted using the flash intensity control (P. 89). The flash modes are as follows:

Auto-flash

Automatically fires in low-light and backlight conditions.

Red-eye reduction flash

This mode significantly reduces the phenomenon of red-eye by emitting about 10 preflashes before firing the regular flash. This mode works the same as the auto-flash except for the pre-flashes.
The subjects eyes appear red.
After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released, so do not move the camera and hold it firmly. Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the preflashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.

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 lighting (especially fluorescent light). Fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

Flash shooting (Cont.)

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 speed depends on the shooting mode: M mode : 16 sec. P/A/S mode : 4 sec. (depending on the ISO setting.) When the shutter speed is set to 4 sec.

Often, white objects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting towards + makes these objects closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust towards when shooting black objects.

White Balance

Color reproduction differs depending on the lighting conditions. For instance, when daylight, the setting sun, or indoor lighting are reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. By setting the WB (white balance), you can achieve more natural-looking color.

If a slide-show lasts more than 30 minutes, the camera automatically enters the sleep mode.

File name

The camera automatically creates file names and folder names for images to be stored in. Files can be numbered from 0001 to 9999 and folders can be numbered from 100 to 999. Examples are shown below.
Month: Jan. - Sep. = 1 - 9, Oct. = A, Nov. = B, Dec. = C There are two choices here: RESET or AUTO. Choose the one that is best for you when transferring images to a computer. RESET When RESET is selected, the file number and folder number are reset every time a new card is inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to No. 100, and the file number returns to No. 0001. This is useful when grouping files on separate cards. AUTO When AUTO is selected, the same folder number is retained, but the file number continues from the previous card, so that the same file number is not used on different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This is useful when a group of files stretches over more than one card.
