manual abstract
It tells you how to use various camera functions such as the mode dial (page 18), the menus (page 30), and so on. Focusing on a subject successfully When you press the shutter button halfway down, the camera adjusts the focus automatically Focus(Auto Focus). Remember to press the shutter button only halfway down. Press the shutter Press the shutter Then press the button fully down button halfway AE/AF lock indicator shutter button suddenly. down. flashing , lit/beeps fully down. 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. Basic techniques for better images ExposureAdjusting 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. Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives Exposure: light Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass through ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) = Recording sensitivity Overexposure The exposure is automatically set to the = too much light proper value in the auto adjustment mode. Whitish image However, you can adjust it manually using the functions below. Correct exposure Adjusting EV: Allows you to adjust the exposure determined by the camera (page 23). Metering Mode: Underexposure Allows you to change the part of the = too little light subject to be measured to determine the Darker image exposure (page 33). Adjusting the ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) ISO sensitivity is measurement, estimating how much light an image pickup device receives. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity. To adjust the ISO sensitivity, see page 35. 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. Basic techniques for better images The apparent color of the subject is affected by the lighting conditions. ColorOn the effects of lighting Example: The color of an image affected by light sources Weather/lighting Daylight Cloudy Fluorescent Incandescent Characteristics of light White (standard) Bluish Blue-tinged Reddish The color tones are adjusted automatically in the auto adjustment mode. However, you can adjust color tones manually with [White Bal] (page 34). Basic techniques for better images On “image quality” and “image size” A digital image is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels. QualityIf it contains a large number of pixels, the picture becomes large, it takes up more memory, and the image is displayed in fine detail. “Image size” is shown by the number of pixels. Although you cannot see the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data processing time differ when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen. Description of the pixels and the image size 1 Image size: 7M 3072 pixels . 2304 pixels = 7,077,888 pixels 2 Image size: VGA(E-Mail) 3072 2304480 640 Pixels 640 pixels . 480 pixels = 307,200 pixels Selecting the image size for use (page 24) Pixel Many pixels (Fine image quality and large file size) Example: Printing in up to A3 size Few pixels (Rough image quality but small file size) Example: An attached image to be sent by e- mail Selecting the image quality (compression ratio) in combination (page 36) You can select the compression ratio when digital images are saved. When you select a high compression ratio, the image lacks the fineness of detail, but has a smaller file size.
