How to take better pictures
Effects of zoom and its advantages
A zoom is a lens with a focal length that changes when part of lens moves. In the case of the IS-1, any focal length between 35 mm and 135 mm can be selected.

35 mm Wide 100 mm or more
When the lens is set to the maximum focal length of 135 mm, magnification is approximately four
times greater than at 35 mm, enabling you to obtain genuine telephoto photographs. As you
Because the peripheral angle of view is wide and the depth of field is greater, sharp photographs with clear perspective and contrast can be obtained. 70 mm With 70 mm zooming, subjects appear close uptwo times closer than when the lens is positioned at 35 mm.

(WIDE CONVERTER)

increase the telephoto effect, perspective becomes narrow, and depth of field becomes more shallow. That means that objects in front of and behind your subject are more likely to be out of focus. This can have an interesting effect on snapshots and portraits. Maximum telephoto lengths are particularly useful for taking pictures at sporting events and for nature photography when you want to get closer to your subject.
*The five pictures below are samples taken by a photographer using the zoom lens. Notice the dimensions of the subject as the camera zooms in. The three pictures on the right were taken without changing the subject's size. Notice how the background and foreground tend to blur at increased focal lengths. *Be sure to hold the camera firmly, as pictures tend to blur more easily at longer focal lengths. Angle of view and depth of field Angle of view is directly related to the focal depth of field. (the distance the camera is able to focus in front of and behind the subject). The greater the angle of view (wide angle), the greater the depth of field. When the angle of view is narrow (telephoto), depth of field decreases.
The use of a converter lens (optional)
It is possible to attach a converter lens for an even wider angle effect, or for additional telephoto power. *Instead of 35 mm, a wide angle converter (0.8 x ) allows you to take shots at an even wider focal length of 28 mm. *Instead of 135 mm, a telephoto converter (1.5 x ) allows you to take shots at an even longer focal length of 200 mm.

Autofocus (AF)

The Autofocus (AF) mechanism automatically
adjusts focus by measuring the distance-to-subject. Focusing is accomplished by a TTL (through-thelens) phase-difference detection system. More simply, an AF sensor catches the light reflected
off of the subject, calculates the distance, and activates the lens to focus. The IS-1 AF system is particularly advanced, because it even works in the dark by using an infrared beam of light. Autofocus is designed to focus on whatever appears in the center of the viewfinder. If you wish to position your subject outside the center of the frame you can use the focus lock (see p. 21). This will also lock the proper exposure (AE lock).

Subjects that are difficult to focus
Although the IS-1 can focus on almost any
subject, there are certain conditions, such as those shown in the illustrations, where it may not be possible to obtain correct focus. In such cases, the autofocus indicator in the viewfinder will blink to warn you. When the autofocus indicator blinks,
(1) Subject that does not include vertical lines
try using the power focus (p. 47), or try using focus lock by focusing on a different subject at the same distance. Please be careful in situations (4), (5) and (6), as the autofocus indicator in the viewfinder may light even though the lens is incorrectly focused.
(3)A rapidly moving subject
(2)Subject with low contrast
(4)Two subjects within the focusing frame, at different distances
(5)Subjects in Excessively bright light
(6)A subject with a repeated pattern

Exposure

Automatic exposure mode Program chart (Standard photography mode)
Exposure refers to the amount of the light which strikes the film and is controlled by a combination of aperture size and shutter speed. The
correct amount of the light, or correct exposure,
is controlled according to the film speed (indicated on the film package, such as ISO 100 or ISO 200).
Automatic exposure function automatically sets
the correct exposure. The IS-1 employs two types of automatic exposure modes: (1) programmed auto exposure, and (2) aperturepreferred auto exposure. With programmed auto exposure, the camera automatically sets the most suitable combination of "F" stop and shutter speed for subjects with a certain brightness. It lets you concentrate on composing your shot and releasing the shutter at just the right time. With aperture-preferred auto, you can select
any "F" stop by yourself, then according to that
The chart shown below is a program chart for 35 mm wide and 135 mm telephoto focal lengths. According to the focal length, the program itself changes. When the subject is bright, the "F" stop and shutter speed change simultaneously. When the subject is darker, the aperture opens fully and the shutter speed changes to the corresponding brightness. In the standard photography mode (refer to p. 13), if the built-in flash has been popped-up it will automatically fire in dark situations. The shutter speed will be fixed at 1/100 second.

metering. According to your photographic
purpose, the IS-1 allows you to select that which is the most suitable. At the same time, the IS-1 uses TTL (through the lens) light metering to automatically measure the light that enters the lens. This allows you to obtain very accurate light metering without any influence due to distance changes between the subject and the camera. ESP (Electro Selective Pattern) light metering (Exposure mode P) ESP light metering measures the central portion and peripheral portion of the frame separately. In doing so, the camera determines the proper exposure. The calculation processing program itself is based on trial and error data to properly compensate for backlighting. ESP light metering takes place automatically while in P (Program) mode. Center-weighted average light metering Center-weighted average light metering is the most widely used light metering system (Fig. A). This system measures light within a wide range
with special emphasis on conditions in the center of the picture. When in A (Aperture-preferred) or M (Manual) mode, this light metering system is automatically activated. Providing that differing contrast between brightness and darkness in the rest of the frame is not too extreme (a portrait with an extremely bright background for example) the system provides excellent results. Spot metering Spot metering (Fig. B) measures the brightness in the central section of the frame only. Because this metering system calculates the correct exposure of one point, it is convenient when the subject is backlit or there is strong contrast in the picture. When shooting a subject in front of an extremely bright background, you should spot meter the subjects face. To make white objects look very white, use spot metering and then operate exposure compensation button in the (+) direction. To make black objects look very black, use spot metering and then operate the exposure compensation button in the (-) direction.
Exposure compensation and film speed
Fixed proper exposure Proper exposure refers to the balance of light and dark in a photo. When shooting a black and white wall, the exposure will be based on the average ratio of black and whitethus the overall exposure is set for grey. This is technically called "fixed proper exposure". A good example of this is a subject with a strongly lit background. The reason the subject turns out dark is because there is more brightness than darkness in the frame. Therefore, the fixed proper exposure is based on the total level of light in the photo, which is significantly brighter than the subject. In the case of strong backlighting, the exposure needs to be adjusted to compensate for brightness. Adjusting exposure to accommodate lighting conditions is called exposure compensation. When ESP light metering is used, the camera automatically judges the light and compensates for the proper exposure, so manual exposure compensation is not needed.

Exposure compensation With the IS-1, + / - 4EV exposure compensation
in 1/3 EV steps is possible. [+] compensation
compensation will make a subject appear darker. Under backlit conditions you'll want to make
your subject appear brighter (+1 to +2EV).
For shooting winter snow scenes, you may want adjust the exposure for additional definition (+2EV). Or, suppose your picture is composed of a black wall, ( 2EV) compensation would most likely be appropriate. Film speed Film speed is listed on the back of the film package. ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400 are the most common. High-speed film (ISO 400), as implied by its name, is for taking photos of fast moving subjects, action shots for example. However there are other advantages to high-speed film. With high-speed film, such as ISO 400, you are able to take pictures in lower light. And the distance covered by the flash will be greater. The camera is recommended for use of "DX"
film cartridges, ISO 25, 32, 50, 100, 200, 400,
will make a subject appear brighter, while [ ]
800, 1600 and 3200. In the case of non-DX coded film, film speed is automatically set to ISO 32. Also, films with middle speeds such as ISO 64, 160 and 1000 are automatically set to the next lower speed. When using middle-speed films, use the exposure compensation. ISO (64: -0.3EV ISO 160:-0.7EV ISO 1000.--0.3EV
*Flash strength The flash on the IS-1 uses a new exposure control system. This flash system combines advantages of both "flashmatic", employed in compact cameras and "auto flash" which is employed in SLRs. Flashmatic emits full - strength flash while the camera automatically adjusts the aperture level for proper exposure. In most cases this is an effective system. However, when the subject is at extremely close range, subjects tend to be over exposed, and the background too dark because the aperture has been adjusted to its most narrow setting. On the other hand, auto flash controls the amount light emitted by the flash. This system decides exposure by measuring reflected light. But, depending on the background, exposure for the main subject can be affected. For example, with a white background, the subject may appear too dark due to the level of reflected light received through the lens. The reverse is true for a dark background. The IS-1 employs a combination of aperture adjustment and flash strength to give you perfect exposure every time. That means that the effects of background lighting and distance-to-subject are both accounted for. High Function Flash G40 (Optional) The G40 is a dedicated flash for the IS-1 (GN131 ISO 100 ft). It is designed for professional flash photo - effects such as bounce, multi-flash and Follow-synchro. Bounce photography uses indirect lighting of subjects by reflecting flash light off of a ceiling or wall. With straight flash photography a strong shadow often appears behind the subject. By bouncing, you can obtain a soft, well-balanced lighting effect on the entire subject. You can also use the built-in flash together with the G40 for additional affect. Multi-flash emits the light several times in one exposure. With this flash mode, continuous movement, such as a golf swing, can be photographed sequentially in one frame. It's a multiple exposure with flash. With Follow-synchro mode, the flash fires at the final point of slow synchro. For example, the tail-lights of a moving automobile can be expressed. When the IS-1 is equipped with the teleconverter lens (x 1.5) or the wide - converter lens ( x 0.8), the built-in flash cannot be used. We recommend you to use the G40 for such cases.

*Wide macro When you try to take a picture of someone sitting right next to you, the camera may not be able to focus properly. In this case, macro mode (wide) comes in handy. Wide macro allows you to take close up pictures on a wide angle setting (as close as 60 cm (2.0 ft) at 40 mm focal length). At the same time the autofocus flash can be used. It is convenient to use the zoom memory to memorize a wide macro setting. And it is particularly convenient if you usually use macro mode for snapshots. *TeIe macro Use Tele macro mode to make small subjects appear large. With tele macro mode you can shoot at a focal length of 100 mm as close as 60 cm (2.0 ft) from your subject. At this range, the picture will capture an area of about 15 cm x 22 cm (5-7/8 x 8-11/16 inches). As with wide macro, autofocus and flash can be used.
IS/L LENS A-MACRO H.Q. CONVERTER
f = 40 cm (optional) The IS-1 is compatible with an optional Macro
converter. At 60 cm (2.0 ft) distance-to-subject,
the picture will capture an area of about 6 cm x 9 cm (2-3/8x3-9/16 inches). The built-in flash can also be used.

Troubleshooting

Battery power *Battery life will last for about 25 rolls (24-exposure, half with flash). Less flash and zooming uses less battery power. We recommend that you use Panasonic CR 123A or Duracell 123A. Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries together. The camera does not work *Make sure the power switch is ON. *Check to make sure that the batteries are loaded and inserted correctly. *When the battery warning mark appears on the LCD panel, replace batteries immediately. Displays disappeared while shooting. *When the camera power is ON, but no controls are operated for about 30 seconds, a power saving function will turn off all displays on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder. To resume displays, press the shutter release button lightly.

Shutter speed and aperture setting displays blinks. *If there is not enough light when shooting, the shutter speed and aperture setting displays will blink to warn you. In such cases, a flash should be used. Also, in manual exposure mode, when the + / display blinks, a flash should be used. *While using the flash, the shutter speed and aperture setting displays will blink to warn you that the subject is out of flash range. You need to get closer. The camera does not focus correctly. *When the subject moves too fast or is not positioned within the autofocus frame in the center of the viewfinder, the camera may not focus properly. Try using the focus lock (see p. 21). *It is sometimes difficult to attain an accurate distance measurement of subjects that have a low reflection ratio, such as navy blue or black or subjects outside AF illuminator range (1.2-4 m/3.9-13.1 ft), even though the autofocus indicator appears in the viewfinder.
The shutter will not release.
*The camera may not be in focus. Check for the "autofocus indicator" in the viewfinder. *The shutter will not release if a rewound film cartridge is still inside the camera. Remove the cartridge. Flash does not emit. *If the mark has disappeared from the viewfinder, press the shutter release button halfway and the mark will reappear. *Make sure the shutter speed is set at 1/100 second or slower. *With continuous flash shooting, there is sometimes a delay in the time required to recharge the battery. Shoot after the flash indicator appears in the viewfinder. When flash shooting, people's eyes come out red. *Red-eye phenomenon is a common problem in flash photography. The phenomenon occurs because the retina behind the pupil of an eye reflects flash light. Shooting conditions such as the brightness or darkness of surroundings also affect red-eye phenomenon. Intensity of red-eye phenomenon will differ from person to
person as it depends on dilation of the pupil. Generally, when the distance between the subject and the camera increases, so does the occurance of red-eye. To reduce this phenomenon, use Auto-S flash mode (refer p. 38). The camera does not work in extremely cold weather. *In low temperature conditions, batteries temporarily lose performance. Try to keep the camera warm. When shooting, the scene was in the viewfinder, but on the picture the edge was cut off *When printing, sometimes the edge of your photo may be cut off. When composing your shot, be sure to leave some space on the edges to compensate. My photos look like the film is cracked * Check the film compartment for dust. When a camera has been used for a long period of time, the film compartment may need to be cleaned. Do so carefully.

Care and Storage

*Use the camera within the recommended operating temperature range of 10C (14F)

+ 40C (104F).

*Do not expose the camera to rapidly changing temperature or humidity. *Do not expose the camera to extreme heat or strong magnetic fields. *Do not apply excess force to the camera or its

controls.

*Do not forcibly rotate the camera once it is mounted on a tripod. *Do not touch the contact points inside the camera. *Do not use organic solvents, thinner or benzine to clean the camera. *Avoid unnecessary shock to the camera due to bumping or dropping. *Do not expose the camera to water (rain). * Never disassemble the camera; it contains a high-voltage circuit. *Do not disassemble or expose batteries to excessive heat.
*In case of mulfunction, consult your nearest
Olympus dealer, or nearest Olympus service

center.

Case Study Olympus

ujitsus ETERNUS DX was a convincing solution for our high demands in F terms of reliability, performance and efficiency for storage management.
Hartmut Hahn, General Manager Information Systems, Corporate Division, Olympus
SAN unable to meet expectations at Olympus In 1919 Olympus was founded in Japan and today stands for more than 90 years of pioneering spirit and innovation leadership. As an innovator of new technologies Olympus developed the first microscope in Japan as well as the worlds first endoscope. The company has also played a leading role in manufacturing lightweight compact cameras and a new generation of mirrorless cameras. In order for Olympus to efficiently and effectively focus its innovative expertise on the market, the company needs a high-performance and extremely reliable IT infrastructure. In principle Olympus has been using such an infrastructure for many years: The server environment is essentially virtualized on the basis of VMware ESX Server, and the entire infrastructure is designed around two data centers with separate fire zones. To date the central components in the SAN included two storage systems and FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) as a virtualized storage solution for mirroring the data between the data centers, plus a transparent failover. However, to the customers surprise, the central storage systems proved to be a weak spot during operations: ystem performance and scalability were inadequate. S umerous hard disk defects resulted in frequent service and N maintenance downtimes. roduction shutdowns occurred due to serious hardware problems. P Olympus implements the high-performance ETERNUS DX8400 platform in Germany To eliminate these frequent problems in the SAN once and for all, Olympus once again demonstrated its innovative character. In January 2011, in close cooperation with Fujitsu and its partner Concat AG, Olympus decided to replace the storage systems and carried out a smooth migration even as operations were running and now the companys IT benefits from the proven high reliability, performance and efficiency of ETERNUS DX8400 storage systems. The implementation of a storage infrastructure based on ETERNUS DX eliminated the weaknesses in IT operations and has improved overall reliability.
The customer Olympus is one of the worlds leading manufacturers of optical and digital products such as cameras and audio devices, as well as microscopes and endoscopes for medical and industrial applications. www.olympus.de The project eplacement of high-end disk storage systems; implementation R of new systems at two data center sites

ETERNUS DX8400 decisively improves storage at Olympus ETERNUS DX8000 storage systems are specially designed to meet the requirements of large enterprises. With more than 2.7 petabytes they offer maximum capacity as well as maximum performance with the 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel host interface and fast quad-core processors. This has also been proven with the SPC Benchmark-1 Test, in which the ETERNUS DX8400 delivered excellent I/O performance and costefficiency results. And it was tests such as these that convinced the IT managers at Olympus to implement the Fujitsu high-end storage system in Germany as well. Hartmut Hahn, General Manager Information Systems at Olympus, says: he proven reliability and performance of the ETERNUS DX8400, along T with its outstanding price-performance ratio, were important factors that influenced our decision. But it was also the close partnership between Fujitsu and Concat, with mutual trust and commitment to our project, along with in-depth know-how transfer, that really impressed us. The replacement of the old systems, carried out while IT operations were running, was the first challenge the partners had to face.

Smooth project implementation The SAN infrastructure at Olympus covers two data centers and includes an existing FalconStor NSS environment. Thanks to this storage virtualization, the old systems could be replaced by two ETERNUS DX8400 systems without any downtime, and the data was migrated during normal business hours. During the first project phase, an old system and one new ETERNUS system were run in parallel in data center 1, then the FalconStor appliance was used to transfer the transparent mirror for a smooth migration, and after that productive operations were switched over to the ETERNUS DX8400. The second phase involved the same procedure in data center 2, along with setting up the mirror between both data centers. The migration of 60 terabytes of enterprise data took place during running operations without any interruption and was completed within an unbelievable record time of 1.5 days. A perfect match: ETERNUS DX8400 and FalconStor NSS With ETERNUS DX8400 and FalconStor NSS Olympus now has a completely virtualized SAN infrastructure that combines maximum availability with extremely high performance. Innovative functions in ETERNUS DX, for example Data Block Guard for data consistency, data encryption or ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Software for easy monitoring and ensured business continuity, ideally match and complement the functions of the FalconStor appliance. With this solution Olympus has not only implemented a transparent mirror of its VMware environment, but also and above all high-availability operations throughout its entire infrastructure, with the option of migrating data at any time without interrupting business and IT processes. http://ts.fujitsu.com/products/storage/disk/eternus/eternus_dx8000.html
