This chapter explains the basics of taking good pictures with your camera. You should read it through in order to make the most of the information provided. Before using the camera, also be sure to read "How to use this manual" and "Getting started", chapter 1.
Shooting mode setting Mode dial
Set the mode dial to P, A/S/M or. The camera turns on. Since the lens automatically extrudes when the camera is turned on, take off the lens cap first. When the camera mode is set to A/S/M or , the monitor turns on automatically.

Program shooting

The simplest way to take still pictures. The camera sets aperture and shutter speed.
Aperture priority/Shutter priority/Manual shooting
Allows you to set aperture and/or shutter speed manually. When the mode dial is set to A/S/M, the following items can be set with the menus:
A (Aperture priority shooting)
Allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F value), you will force the camera to 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/backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in focus.

SmartMedia memory capacity listed in the table is approximate. The number of storable images differs depending on the Record mode, the cards memory size, the Preset print or the Sound recording. Areas using PAL (P.196) T If movie pictures are shot with the video cable connected, their maximum recording time may be different from the table on page 104.

ENLARGE SIZE

When ENLARGE SIZE is selected (only possible in HQ or SHQ), the actual 4 million pixels used by this camera can be increased as if they were approx. 6 (2816 x 2112) or approx. 8 (3200 x 2400) million pixels. This allows you to make quality prints in larger sizes, such as A3 (11" x 14"). However, file sizes also become larger. ENLARGE SIZE is not available in the (movie) mode.
If the SHQ record mode is set to ENLARGE SIZE, sequential shooting ( , BKT) is not possible.

ISO Sensitivity

The higher the ISO value, the greater the cameras light sensitivity and the better its ability to shoot in low-light conditions. However, higher values also produce more noise in the resulting images.
In the top menu, select MODE MENU T CAMERA T ISO. There are 4 choices of ISO: AUTO, 100, 200, or 400. Choose the best one for your shooting conditions. AUTO : Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the lighting conditions and the subject brightness. 100/200/400 : 100 is best when you want to shoot clear, sharp images in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster shutter speeds with the same amount of light.

Higher ISO can produce more noise. ISO is standardized based on the sensitivity of normal camera film. The scale is approximate. When ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions without a flash, ISO automatically increases; otherwise the shutter speed will be reduced, possibly resulting in camera movement and blurred images.

Exposure Compensation

This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure setting. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust between +/2.0 in 1/3 steps.

Connecting directly to a computer by cable (Cont.)
When connecting the camera to a computer, make sure that the remaining battery power is sufficient. When connected (transmitting) to a computer, the camera does not enter the Sleep (power save) mode nor will the cameras power turn off automatically. If the battery power runs out while the computer is reading data from the card loaded in the camera, the camera stops operating and downloaded image data (file) will be lost. Use the AC adapter (optional) when downloading files. Make sure that the camera's power is off before connecting the AC adapter. Before removing the AC adapter, disconnect the camera from the computer, and make sure that the camera's power is off. To avoid computer malfunctions, do not turn off the camera or switch the cameras mode dial position when the camera is connected to a personal computer. If the camera is connected to the personal computer via a USB hub, operation may not be stable if there are any compatibility problems between the personal computer and the hub. In such a case, do not use a hub and connect the camera directly to the personal computer. To play back movies, the personal computer should have QuickTime installed on it.

The subjects eyes appear red in pictures recorded with the flash. 1 The flash is in the autoflash mode. 1 This red-eye phenomenon occurs with all cameras when a flash is used. It is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the retina at the back of the eye. Red-eye varies depending on the individual and the shooting conditions such as ambient lighting. Use of the Red-Eye Reducing Pre-Flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon. P. 81

Glossary of terms (Cont.)
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images to print and the number of copies of each, the user can automatically have the desired images printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format. Eclipsing (Vignetting) This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole subject is not photographed. Vignetting also refers to when the image seen through the viewfinder does not exactly match the image shot through the objective lens, so the photographed image includes objects not seen through the viewfinder. In addition, vignetting can occur when an incorrect lens hood is used, causing shadowing to appear in the corners of the image. EV (Exposure Value) A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the shutter speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture increases by one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can also be used to indicate brightness and ISO settings. Exposure The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through the lens (aperture). Flash Bracket A mount used to attach an external flash to the camera. ISO A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (e.g. "ISO100"). Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) A compression format for color still images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera are recorded onto the SmartMedia card in JPEG format when the Record mode is set to SHQ, HQ or SQ. By downloading these images to a personal computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an Internet web browser.
M (Manual) Mode The user sets both the aperture and shutter speed. P (Program) Mode Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter speed and aperture for the shot. PAL (Phase Alternating Line) In Europe, PAL television signals are normally used. North America and Japan use NTSC signals. Pixels A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed images require a large number of pixels. 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. 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 (Through-The-Lens) System To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the light passing through the lens. 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.
