SCENE MODES

When using a programmed SCENE mode, the camera is automatically configured to the best image capture settings for the situation.

Normal Mode

NORMAL MODE

This mode is best for most shooting. The FLASH works automatically based on the available light on the subject. The SHUTTER speed is also selected to minimize blurring.

Portrait Mode

Landscape Mode

Selecting the right mode helps you take the best photos automatically. And when combined with P.I.M. printing (See page 39.), the result will be terrific.

SELECTING A SCENE MODE

Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON.

1. Press the MENU button and select

Scene mode using the lr

buttons.

2. Use the ud buttons to select the

specific SCENE mode you desire.

Note:

FLASH control in SCENE mode

Any flash settings (See page 19.) can be used in SCENE mode. Please note that using either the NO FLASH or FORCED FLASH settings in dark scenes will lengthen the time of exposure (shutter speed) up to 1/2 sec. which may lead to blurring. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring.

LANDSCAPE MODE

This mode is best for broad landscapes. The FLASH is deactivated and the depth of field is increased. In low light the shutter speed is slower so you can take night scenes. Use a tripod to prevent blurring.

PORTRAIT MODE

This mode is designed for personal portraits. The depth of field is reduced (1-3m) and the FLASH is automatically set to reduce red eyes.

When using the FORCED FLASH in dark settings the SLOW SYNCRO SHUTTER feature is set (See page 19.) allowing you to take shots with a brighter background. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring.

ALERT

When any SCENE mode is set, selecting MACRO shifts the camera settings to NORMAL mode. If you cancel the MACRO, the camera settings remains in NORMAL mode.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Note:

When using SCENE mode

Using SCENE modes together with Exif 2.2 software and PRINT Image Matching II will provide the best possible printing results.

Note:

Other camera settings and functions in SCENE mode

The Self timer, Exposure Adjustment, Resolution, Continuous Shooting, Digital Zoom, Frames, etc. are not affected by the SCENE mode.

WHITE BALANCE

The white balance function adjusts the camera for different kinds of lighting. It makes white look the same color in any situation. The camera has two white balance modes; automatic and manual. In manual mode you can change the color settings according to your own needs.

FYI

White Balance and Color Temperatures.

Light comes in a range of colors from high-temperature sources like the sun which are bluer to low-temperature incandescent light bulbs which are redder. The human eye adapts to these differences automatically, so things usually look the same color to us under most lighting conditions. The camera's light sensors however, must sometimes be set to reproduce the truest colors under certain conditions.

AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE

In this mode the camera automatically senses the light source and corrects the colors so you get the same white in any lighting situation. We recommend that you regularly use the camera in this mode.

Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON.

SELECTING WHITE BALANCE MANUALLY

You can select specialized white balance settings to achieve truer colors in certain conditions; DAYLIGHT, CLOUDY, INCANDESCENT, and FLUORESCENT.

Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON.

1. Press the MENU button and use the lr buttons to select WHITE

BALANCE.

2. Using the ud buttons select the best choice among auto, daylight,

cloudy, incandescent and fluorescent.

HINT

Effective use of manual WHITE BALANCE.

❏

Pictures taken under fluorescent light tend to turn out greenish. Use the FLUORESCENT setting to correct for this.

❏

Incandescent light tends to make subjects appear reddish-yellow. Using the DAYLIGHT setting will allow reddish yellow colors of sunset to stay that way.

LIGHT SENSITIVITY

A roll of film loaded in a camera has a fixed light sensitivity, but the digital camera is more flexible. You can change the light sensitivity for a specific purpose any time manually or let the camera select it automatically.

FYI

In general, setting higher (ISO) light sensitivity allows for easier focusing and less chance of blurring. However your photos will appear grainier and you will lose color richness. Think about the shooting conditions and the results you want before you set the ISO.

English

1. Press the MENU button and use the lr buttons to select WHITE

BALANCE.

2. Select AUTO by using the ud buttons.

1. Press the MENU button and use the lr buttons to select

Sensivity.

2. Using the ud buttons, you may select the desired sensitivity from

[100] [200] or [400].

HINT

Situations for Manual Sensitivity Control

❏

When the image is too dark, but you can't use the flash. Or when the image is blurry, but you can't use the flash.

❏

When you must be moving the camera in order to get a shot. OR when the object is blurry from moving at high speed.

❏

When you are anticipating problems in MACRO mode or any close-up situation. When you get blurry results in MACRO or any close-up situation.

❏

When you want to record a distant object with the FLASH. You can extend the range of the FLASH by increasing the sensitivity.

MAKING EXPOSURE SETTINGS

You adjust exposure to help control how much light falls on the CCD. It influences the brightness of the entire image. You usually don't need to make manual adjustments, but it is possible to increase + or decrease - the exposure to suit a particular purpose. It is recommended that these adjustments be used when shooting against the sun or when you have any very bright background where the automatic sensors may not work well.
