Changing the Display

If you press DISP., you can change the screen display mode, such as switching between display/no display of symbols, etc. Every time you press the DISP. button, the view cycles in the order of Histogram On, Grid Guide, No Display, LCD Monitor Off, and Normal Symbol Display.

Normal Symbol Display

Histogram On

Grid Guide

Switches screens with the DISP button
LCD Monitor Off (Synchro-Monitor Mode)

No Display

Grid Guide Displays auxiliary lines on the LCD monitor to help shooting. These lines are not recorded with images. Synchro-Monitor Mode Keeps the LCD monitor off except when the camera is operated. This mode is effective for saving power consumption. With this mode, half-pressing the shutter release button turns the LCD monitor on. Subsequently, full-pressing the shutter release button displays the shot image on the LCD monitor, and then turns the LCD monitor off.

Histogram Display

When histogram display is on, a histogram appears in the lower right corner on the LCD monitor screen. A histogram is a graph indicating the number of pixels on the vertical axis and the brightness on the horizontal axis. The brightness is shadow (dark), halftone, and highlight (light) from the left. By using the histogram, you can judge the brightness of an image without being affected by the brightness around the LCD monitor. This also helps preventing voids and solids. If the histogram has only peaks on the right side without anything else, this picture is over-exposed with too many pixels only for highlight sections.

Checking the Focus and Shooting (Half-press)
When you press the shutter release button halfway (half-press), the autofocus function is triggered to determine the focal distance. Subsequently press it all the way down (full-press) to shoot. This is useful when the subject is not in the middle (see P.36).
Put the subject of your photo right in the middle and press the shutter release button half-way.
The f-stop (aperture size) and shutter speed are displayed in the bottom part of the screen, and the camera focuses. Once focused, the exposure and white balance are fixed. If the automatic focusing fails, the crosshairs in the center of the LCD monitor turn red and the auto-focus lamp in the upper left of the viewfinder blinks in green. 34

When specifying a focus position at macro shooting, use the AF target shift function. (P.85)
Gently press the shutter release button all the way down.
During card writing, the flash/auto-focus lamp blinks. The still image you have taken freezes for a moment on the LCD monitor and is recorded.
Certain subjects are hard to bring into focus: It may be impossible to bring the following subjects into focus. Subjects lacking contrast (the sky, a white wall, the hood of a car, etc.) Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions. Quickly moving objects. Things in poorly lit places. Areas with strong backlighting, or reflections. Things that flicker, such as fluorescent lights. When you want to shoot subjects like this, first focus on an object the same distance as your subject and then shoot. (see P.36) Press gently to prevent camera shake when you press the shutter release button. During distance measurement for auto focusing, the white dot at the center of the cross on the LCD monitor blinks. The mark indicates that blurring may occur. Hold the camera still and focus the camera again. When shooting in a dark place, the camera raises the focusing performance (auto focus precision) by preliminary flashing immediately before shooting. This preliminary flashing is skipped for shooting in no-flash mode. When the [LCD CONFIRM] is set to OFF in the setup screen, the still image shot will not be displayed on the LCD monitor.

When the Subject is not Centered (Shooting with Focus-lock)
When your subject is not in the center of your composition, compose your photo after focusing. (Focuslock)
Example: Taking a photograph of the castle in the background with the camera focused on a person in front.

The size of a stored still image and movie file depends on picture quality and size settings. Picture Quality Mode is provided in three types; N (Normal), F (Fine), and NC (Noncompressed).
Types of Modes You Can Select Symbol Mode Normal Mode Description The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally, shooting is done in this mode. The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the picture quality is better than in Normal Mode. Image data is saved in a non-compressed TIFF file (YUV-TIFF). This ensures clearer pictures than F3264 and N3264. However, the file size becomes larger and the recording time at shooting becomes longer.

TUsing the Self-Timer

You can set the Self-timer to shoot after either two or ten seconds. A setting of two seconds is useful for preventing camera shake.
Turn the Mode Dial to 5, A/M, or 4. Press the T (Self-timer) button.
The Self Timer mark appears momentarily in a large size at the center of the LCD monitor and then is displayed at the upper left. The "10" to the right of the symbol indicates the number of seconds. In this case, if you press the shutter button, the camera will shoot after 10 seconds.
The focus is locked, the flash goes on, and the self-timer starts. Once the picture is taken, the self-timer mode is cleared.
Each press of the T (Self-timer) button, it selects a function in the following sequence: 10 sec, 2 sec, Self-timer Off, 10 sec, 2 sec. Self-timer settings are released when the power is turned off. When the self-timer is set to 2 seconds, the flash indicator for self-timer does not fire.
Shooting in Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure Mode
When the mode dial is set to Aperture Priority Mode, you can set the aperture and shutter speed manually for shooting. In A/M Mode, both Aperture Priority Mode and Manual Exposure Mode are available. If only the aperture is set, the shutter speed is automatically set according to the aperture (Aperture Priority Mode). If the shutter speed is also set, you can take pictures with the shutter speed and the aperture set at the time of shutter speed setting (Manual Exposure Mode). The aperture can be selected from Open, Half, and Minimum. The shutter speed can be selected from 1/2000, 1/1600, 1/1250, 1/1000, 1/800, 1/640, 1/500, 1/400, 1/320, 1/250, 1/200, 1/160, 1/125, 1/100, 1/80, 1/60, 1/50, 1/40, 1/30, 1/25, 1/20, 1/15, 1/13, 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2.5, 1/2, 1/1.6, 1/1.3, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15 and 30 seconds. Lowering the aperture value (f-number) blurs the background and highlights the object. Increasing the aperture value makes the focus clear for both near and far objects. Increasing the shutter speed allows you to take a picture as if a quick-moving object were stopped momentarily. Lowering the shutter speed allows you to shoot the track of a moving object because any motion can be expressed as a flow. The up/down dial is useful for setting in Aperture Priority Mode.

The actual aperture value depends on the zoom position. The diaphragm is driven when the shutter release button is fully depressed.
Shooting with Set Aperture (Aperture Priority Mode)
To shoot with a set aperture, follow the steps below.
