| Purchased 2 yrs. ago for $250? Turned it on this month and could not take any pics due to the burned out LCD, $180 to fix is not worth it. The camera, had it kept working properly, would be a great one. I truly liked it the first year of ownership | |

Focusing on a subject successfully
When you press the shutter button halfway down, the camera adjusts the focus automatically (Auto Focus). Remember to press the shutter button only halfway down.
Press the shutter button fully down suddenly. Press the shutter button halfway down. Then press the shutter button fully down.
AE/AF lock indicator flashing , lit/beeps
To shoot a still image difficult to focus on t [Focus] (page 42) If the image looks blurred even after focusing, it may be because of camera shake. t See Hints for preventing blur (as follows).
Hints for preventing blur
Hold the camera steady, keeping your arms at your side. It is recommended to lean against a tree or a building nearby to steady yourself. Shooting with a 2-second delay self-timer or using a tripod is also effective. Use the flash when you shoot under a low light condition.
Exposure Adjusting the light intensity
You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter.
Exposure:
Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives light Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass through ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) = Recording sensitivity
Overexposure = too much light Whitish image Correct exposure
The exposure is automatically set to the proper value in the auto adjustment mode. However, you can adjust it manually using the functions below. Adjusting EV: Allows you to adjust the exposure determined by the camera (pages 19, 41). Metering Mode: Allows you to change the part of the subject to be measured to determine the exposure (page 42).
Underexposure = too little light Darker image
Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)
ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity. To adjust the ISO sensitivity, see page 41.
High ISO sensitivity Records a bright image even when shooting in a dark location. However, the image tends to become noisy. Low ISO sensitivity Records a smoother image. However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.
On the effects of lighting
The apparent color of the subject is affected by the lighting conditions.
Example: The color of an image affected by light sources
Does not use Face Detection function.
Available only for Soft Snap when you select the Scene Selection mode. In this case, the
default setting will be [On].
Up to 8 faces of your subjects can be detected. However, only up to 2 faces of your subjects
can be detected when you shoot images with Soft Snap.
When the camera detects more than subjects, the camera will judge which is the main
subject and set focus by priority.
The frame which the focus is set will turn green by pressing the shutter button half way
down. Even when the frame does not turn green, if the distance of the subject which the focus is set on and other subjects are the same, the focus is set on all subjects. Face Detection may fail, depending on the conditions under which it is used.
REC Mode: Selecting the continuous shooting method
Selects whether the camera performs continuous shooting or not when you press the shutter button.
(Normal) (Burst)
Does not shoot continuously. Records up to 100 images in succession when you press and hold down the shutter button.
The flash is set to
(Flash forced off).
BRK 0.3EV BRK 0.7EV BRK 1.0EV
Records a series of three images with the exposure values automatically shifted (Exposure Bracket). The larger the bracket step value, the larger the shift of the exposure value.
When you cannot decide the correct exposure, shoot in the Exposure Bracket mode, shifting the exposure value. You can select the image with the best exposure afterward.
When the mode dial is set to , the Exposure Bracket mode is not available. The flash is set to (Flash forced off).
On the Burst
When recording with the self timer, a series of a maximum of five images is recorded. The recording interval is approximately 0.46 seconds (DSC-W90) or 0.36 seconds (DSC-W80/W85). The recording interval becomes longer, depending on the setting for the image size. When the battery level is low, or when the internal memory or Memory Stick Duo is full, the Burst stops. You may not be able to shoot images in the Burst mode depending on the Scene Selection mode (page 28).
On the Exposure Bracket
The focus and white balance are adjusted for the first image, and these settings are also used for the other images. When the exposure is manually adjusted (page 41), the exposure is shifted based on the adjusted brightness. The recording interval is approximately 0.5 seconds (DSC-W90) or 0.4 seconds (DSC-W80/W85). If the subject is too bright or too dark, you may be unable to shoot properly with the selected bracket step value. You may not be able to shoot images in the Exposure Bracket mode depending on the Scene Selection mode (page 28).
