APERTURE PRIORITY

P Program shooting
Allows you to take still pictures. The camera sets aperture and shutter speed. Other functions, such as flash modes and drive modes, can be adjusted manually.
Aperture priority/Shutter priority/Manual/My mode shooting
For details on which shooting modes are selectable when the mode dial is set to A/S/M/ , refer to the previous page.
A Aperture priority shooting
Allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F-number), the camera will focus within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background. Increasing the value forces the camera to focus over a wider range in the forward and backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in focus. ~ Aperture setting (P. 53)
Aperture (F-number) is decreased.
Aperture (F-number) is increased.

Shooting modes

S Shutter priority shooting
Allows you to set the shutter speed manually. The camera sets the aperture automatically. Set the shutter speed according to the subject and the type of effect you want. ~ Shutter speed setting (P. 54)
Setting the shutter speed higher lets you capture fast-moving action without blur. The subject will be clear and sharp, as if it is not moving.
Setting the shutter speed lower blurs a moving subject, giving the impression of movement.

M Manual shooting

Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. To check the exposure, refer to the exposure differential. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to make the settings you need to get the type of picture you want, regardless of optimum exposure. ~ Aperture & shutter speed setting (P. 55)

My Mode

Your favorite settings can be saved in MY MODE SETUP (in the menus SETUP). Customized settings are activated when the power is turned on in the mode. Settings such as aperture value, zoom position, etc. can be customized. In the mode, you can select exposure mode (shooting mode) from P, A, S, M or S-Prg. Settings can be specified with the cameras setting menus. In MY MODE SETUP, you can create and save up to 4 different My Mode settings. Items in the short cut menu can be different from those in the P or S-Prg mode short cut menus. ~ MY MODE SETUP (P. 151)

Shooting mode setting Mode dial (Cont.) Movie record/Scene program shooting
For details on which shooting modes are selectable when the mode dial is set to , refer to P. 47.

Movie record

Allows you to record movies. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed automatically. Exposure is locked when the shutter button is pressed halfway. You cannot record movies with sound.

Self-Portrait shooting

Enables you to take a picture of yourself while holding the camera. Point the lens towards you and take a shot. The focus is locked on you (shooter). The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Zooming is not possible.

Night Scene shooting

Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of a street at night in the P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only the sparkle of lights such as street lamps appearing. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the street can be captured. The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod.

Landscape+Scene shooting

Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor landscape scenes. Both the foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are reproduced vividly in this mode, the Landscape-Scene mode is excellent for shooting natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.
Landscape+Portrait shooting
Suitable for taking photos both your subject and the background. The picture is taken with the background as well as the subject in the foreground in focus. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Sports shooting

Suitable for capturing fast-moving action (such as sports) without blurring. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Portrait shooting

Suitable for shooting a portrait-style image of a person. This mode features an in-focus subject against a blurred background. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

When connecting the camera to the computer, make sure that there is sufficient remaining battery power. When connected (transmitting) to the computer, the camera does not enter the sleep mode nor will the cameras power turn off automatically. Depending on the camera model, when the battery power runs out or the internal temperature rises, the camera may stop operating automatically. This could cause the computer to malfunction, and any image data (file) being transmitted may be lost. Be careful when downloading files for a long period of time. Use the AC adapter (optional) when downloading files. If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter when the camera is connected to the computer and is running on battery power, it may result in the loss of image data on the card or cause a malfunction in the computer. Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter, disconnect the camera from the computer and make sure that the camera is turned off. To avoid computer malfunctions, do not turn off the camera when the camera is connected to a computer. If the camera is connected to the computer via a USB hub, operation may not be stable if there are any compatibility problems between the computer and the hub. In such cases, do not use the hub and connect the camera directly to the computer. You can view images using: graphics applications that support the JPEG file format (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.); Internet browsers (Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.); CAMEDIA Master software; or other software. For details on using commercial graphics applications, refer to their instruction manuals. QuickTime is needed for playing back movies. QuickTime is included on the provided software CD. If you want to process images, make sure to download them to your computer first. Depending on the software, image files may be destroyed if the images are processed (rotated, etc.) while they are on the card.
