Extended optical zoom mechanism When you set the picture size to [ ] (3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 8M (8.1 million pixels) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect. The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k) when the camera is turned on. If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again. The lens barrel extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care not to interrupt the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
Rotate the zoom lever towards Tele.

In motion picture mode [ ], the zoom magnification is fixed to the value set at the start of recording. EZ is an abbreviation of Extended optical Zoom. If you set a picture size that activates the extended optical zoom, the extended optical zoom icon [ ] is displayed on the screen when you use the zoom function. The zoom will stop moving for an instant near [W] (1k) when the extended optical zoom is used. This is not a malfunction. The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation. In motion picture mode [ ] and [HIGH SENS.] or [HI-SPEED BURST] in scene mode, the extended optical zoom does not work.

The available flash range is an approximation. In [HIGH SENS.] (P46) in scene mode, the ISO sensitivity automatically switches to between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] and the available flash range also differs.

(P115) When the flash is used at [INTELLIGENT ISO] (P58), the ISO sensitivity is increased automatically to maximum ISO sensitivity level. When the flash is used at the ISO sensitivity [AUTO] setting, the ISO sensitivity is increased automatically to the maximum [ISO1000] level. If you take a picture with the flash at close range when the zoom is near [W] (1k), the edges of the recorded picture may become dark. Rotate the zoom lever slightly and then take the picture.

2, 3: The shutter speed becomes a maximum of 1 second in the following cases. When the optical image stabilizer is set to [OFF]. When the camera has determined that there is little jitter when the optical image stabilizer is set to [MODE1] or [MODE2]. In intelligent auto mode [ ], shutter speed changes depending on the identified scene. There will be differences in the above shutter speeds in the following scene modes. [NIGHT SCENERY]: 8 seconds to 1/2000th of a second [HI-SPEED BURST]: 1/8th of a second to 1/2000th of a second [STARRY SKY]: 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds [FIREWORKS]: 1/4th of a second, 2 seconds Do not look directly at the flash at close range when it is activated. If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discolored by the heat or lighting from the flash. In economy mode, the LCD monitor turns off and the status indicator lights while the flash is charging. [This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional).] If the remaining battery power is low, the length of time that the LCD monitor turns off to charge may become longer. When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted properly and the picture may become bright or dark. When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even when you press the shutter button fully. The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject. (P57)

Technique for Self portrait mode Press the shutter button halfway to focus. The self-timer indicator lights up when you are brought into focus. Making sure you hold the camera still, press the shutter button fully to take the picture.
The focus range is 5 m (16.4 feet) to. The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF [ ]. The setting on the AF assist lamp is disabled. The white balance cannot be set.

[SPORTS]

The subject is not focused when the self-timer indicator is blinking. Make sure to press the shutter button halfway again to focus. The recorded picture automatically appears on the LCD monitor for reviewing. Refer to P28 for information about using the review function. If the picture is blurry due to the slow shutter speed, we recommend using the 2 second self-timer. The focus range is about 30 cm (0.98 feet) to 70 cm (2.30 feet). You can take a picture of yourself with audio (P61). If you do this, the self-timer indicator will light up while recording the audio. When you select [SELF PORTRAIT], the zoom magnification is automatically moved to Wide (1k). The self-timer can only be set to off or 2 seconds. If it is set to 2 seconds, this setting will remain until the camera is turned off, the scene mode is changed or the mode dial is rotated. The stabilizer function mode is fixed to [MODE2]. (P63) The setting on the AF assist lamp is disabled. The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [ ]. Press [ ] to display the [SCENE MODE] menu and select a scene mode. (P41) Set here when you want to take pictures of sports scenes or other fast-moving events.
This mode is suitable for taking pictures of subjects at distances of 5 m (16.4 feet) or more. [INTELLIGENT ISO] is activated, and maximum ISO sensitivity level becomes [ISO800], in [SPORTS]. You cannot use the following functions. [D.ZOOM] [SLOW SHUTTER]

[NIGHT PORTRAIT]

Press [ ] to display the [SCENE MODE] menu and select a scene mode. (P41) This allows you to take pictures of a person and the background with near real-life brightness.
Technique for Night portrait mode Use the flash. Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures. Keep the subject still for about 1 second after taking the picture. We recommend rotating the zoom lever to Wide (1k) and being about 1.5 m

Press [ ] to display the [SCENE MODE] menu and select a scene mode. (P41) Select this when you want to take pictures of a pet such as a dog or a cat. You can set your pets birthday and name. You can select to have these appear at the time of playback, or have them stamped on the recorded image using [TEXT STAMP] (P81). The age of the pet can be printed out using the [LUMIX Simple Viewer] or [PHOTOfunSTUDIO-viewer-] software on the CD-ROM (supplied). To print out the pets name, use [PHOTOfunSTUDIO-viewer-].

DMC-FX33_ENG.book 110

Depending on the zoom magnification, the recorded picture is slightly distorted. This is called distortion aberration. The closer you get to the subject to take pictures of in wide angle, the more distorted the picture you take is. However this is not a malfunction. 9: Colors appear on the picture which were not found in the actual scene. Depending on the zoom magnification, the picture may have some colored fringes around the subject. This is called chromatic aberration and may be more visible when recording distant subjects. However this is not a malfunction. 10: The file numbers are not recorded consecutively. When you perform an operation after taking a certain action, the pictures may be recorded in folders with different numbers from the ones used prior to the operation.
