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.

How to check the area the camera is focusing on T If you hold down the (monitor) button while pressing the shutter button HQ halfway, the area you are focusing on 2288x1712 is enlarged (as illustrated). When using the digital zoom, this is not available. Camera movement is less noticeable when using the viewfinder rather than the monitor. Also read the TIPS on Taking still pictures while using the viewfinder (P. 67).
The monitor consumes more battery power than the viewfinder. If you point the lens towards a bright subject, smear (lines like beams of light) may appear on the monitor image. This does not affect recorded images.

Playback on a TV (Cont.)

The optional AC adapter is recommended when using the camera with a TV. Images can be rotated only when they are played back on a TV. See the next page for details.
Make sure that the cameras video output signal type is the same as the TVs video signal type. ~ Video output selection (P. 166) The cameras monitor turns off automatically when the camera is connected to a TV. The image may appear off-center on the TV screen. This is due to the TV's adjustment settings. When images are compressed in order to fit the entire image on a TV screen, a black frame is placed in the blank parts of the screen around the image. If the image is output to a video printer via the TV, the black frame may be printed.

Picture rotation

There may be times when you want to rotate a picture. For example, pictures taken with the camera held vertically are also oriented vertically (i.e. longer vertically than horizontally). With picture rotation, you can turn them horizontally, 90 degrees clockwise, or counter-clockwise.

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.
