AF AREA

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. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod. Otherwise, camera movement may cause the image to be blurred. Shutter speed: 4 to 1/1000 sec.
SLOW1 (factory default setting): 1st curtain (front curtain) Usually, regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens.
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.

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 The adjustable lens opening which controls the amount of light that enters the camera. The larger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field and the fuzzier the background. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field and the sharper the background. Aperture is measured in f/stops. Larger aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller aperture values indicate larger apertures. Backlight A light source to illuminate the monitor from behind the screen. 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.

Ring Flash A flash unit that uses a circular xenon fluorescent tube as its light source. S (Shutter Priority) Mode Also called Shutter Priority AE mode. The user selects the shutter speed and the camera automatically varies the aperture so that the picture is taken with the best exposure. Sleep mode A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To get out of the sleep mode, use any button on the camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.). Synchro Terminals Terminals on an external flash unit for connecting it to the camera. TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor A color Monitor constructed using thin-film technology. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) An uncompressed format used for saving highly-detailed black & white or color image data. TIFF image files can be handled by software programs for scanners and graphics applications.
TTL-AUTO For use with an external flash. Light emitted by the flash is measured by the light receptor in the camera as it passes through the lens. A signal is then sent to adjust the external flash's intensity.
TTL (Through-The-Lens) System To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the light passing through the lens.

C 700UZ

The camera that will help you get every shot you see. And then some.
Remember the time your son made that diving, game-saving catch in deep right field? Or the time he caught that gorgeous rainbow trout in shallow water on the far bank? The only thing that could make those memories sweeter is if you had more than just mental pictures of them. Start carrying around the CAMEDIA C-700 Ultra Zoom. With an unbelievably powerful 10x optical/27x digital zoom, itll help you capture every picture you see. Along with lots more you might never have noticed.
We made the C-700UZ as easy to look at as it is to use.
The C-700 Ultra Zoom features the most amazing range youve ever seen. And measuring just 4.2" (w) x 3" (h) x 3" (d) and weighing less than 11 ounces, its the worlds smallest 10x optical zoom digital camera.
True to its mission to help you get every shot, the C-700UZ features an extra-large thumbwheel that
38mm equivalent 380mm equivalent (10x optical zoom) 1026mm equivalent (27x digital zoom)
makes it easy to zip between auto and manual modes. Plus three auto creative scene modes (Portrait, Sport, Landscape) automatically figure settings to let you take advantage of quick opportunities. Or you can always use the new, simplified menu to manually set your controls. Even downloading is simple. You just plug your C-700UZ into your USB computer, then drag your images off. The CAMEDIA C-700 Ultra Zoom makes everything
At less than 11 ounces, the C-700UZ is the perfect traveling companion.
easy. Including, of course, taking better pictures than you ever have before.
What will this much zoom do for your pictures?
A meandering river. A fisherman standing in the river. The brand name on the reel used by the fisherman standing in the river. Youll be amazed how close the C-700 Ultra Zoom will get you. The 10x optical zoom gives you the equivalent of a 38mm 380mm lens. That alone will have you shooting pictures you used to give up on as being out of range. But when you also have a 27x digital zoom and get the equivalent of a 1026mm lens. well, the pictures never end. They begin, however, where the best digital cameras always do: with an Olympus lens. The lens is the single most important factor in determining the quality of your pictures. And the quality of our lenses is why Olympus is the world leader in film and digital photography.

Small. Compact. Ready to go where the pictures are. An Olympus aspherical glass lens ensures razor-sharp clarity and rich, true color.
From the soccer field to the great outdoors, its easy to get closer to your loved ones.
Amazing pictures are as near as your thumb.
Wow. Youve never seen the sun shine through the clouds and light up a flock of birds quite like that. Quick! Spin the thumbwheel over to the Sport mode and get the shot. You glance over at your son, and youre struck by his entranced expression as he watches them. Another quick spin over to Portrait mode, a quick zoom in, and you have that shot, too. Then a herd of deer emerges on the far bank, sniffing the air carefully as they make their way over for a drink. Spin over to Landscape mode, and you have three amazing shots within seconds.
You can use the large thumbwheel and simple menu to set the aperture and shutter manually.
Sport mode gives you a fast shutter speed for action shots.
Thats the beauty of our three auto creative scene modes. Life moves as quickly as your photo opportunities. You need a camera that moves just as fast.
Portrait mode gives you a short depth of field for sharp subjects with blurred backgrounds.
Exposure isnt the only way to use light. You can also use fill-in or other modes from the built-in pop-up flash.
Landscape mode gives you a long depth of field for sharp foregrounds and backgrounds.
Zoom in. Zoom out. And everything in between.
As you begin to see more and more pictures with the C-700UZ, a funny thing happens. You start to think of other ways you can shoot your pictures. For instance, what if you got in tight really tight on your subject? Or what if you wanted to take an action shot in rapid-fire sequence? Or even take a short movie of an action scene, complete with sound? With the C-700UZ, you can do all that and more. Theres no one right way to take a picture. The only sure thing is youll have fun trying them all.
Combine the C-700UZs zoom capabilities with shot-to-shot times of just over 1/2 a second, and theres not much youll miss.
No time to fumble with the video camera? Just shoot a one-minute QuickTime movie with sound instead.
With 27x total zoom, you can look close from far away. Or with the macro mode, you can look close from 4" away.
You can shoot a 360 panorama in sections, then stitch it together seamlessly with our included CAMEDIA Master software.

So many pictures. So many ways to share them.
Photography is all about sharing a moment. And since youll have about a zillion and one moments to share once you get busy with your C-700 Ultra Zoom, its a good thing there are plenty of ways to share them.
With Auto Connect USB, your computer automatically sees your C-700UZ as a hard drive. Just drag your images onto your favorite applications, then crop, print and email to your hearts content.
You can display your pictures and output your QuickTime sound movies directly to your NTSC TV or VCR.
