Using the flash

The flash is used not only for taking pictures where there is insufficient light,

but also when the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera

has four modes of operation (automatic flash mode, forced flash mode, flash

off mode, and red-eye reduction mode). The flash is available only when

shooting still images.

1 Set the camera to the still image

shooting mode (see page 29).

h The current flash mode is shown

on the LCD monitor.

No icon: The digital camera will

detect the subject brightness and use the flash only when required. In a backlight situation, if only the center of the image is very dark, the flash will operate to compensate (auto flash).

: The flash will operate with every image captured regardless of

the conditions. Use this setting under backlight conditions, when the subject is in shade, under fluorescent lighting conditions, etc. (forced flash).

: The flash will not operate even in dark situations. Use this

setting when capturing an image in a location where flash photography is prohibited, or when shooting a night landscape scene (flash off).

CHANGING THE SHOOTING SETTINGS

k Set the compression rate (still images and sequential shots only)

Use the procedure below to set the compression rate. Even if the same resolution is used, you can change the compression setting to decrease the image data size so that you can capture more images, or increase the image data size for no loss in image quality.

1 Display the Shooting Setting Screen (see page 40), and select the

compression menu.

2 Select the desired compression rate

icon, and press the SET button.

: Stores the data with a low

compression (high quality).

: Stores the data with normal

compression (normal quality).

NOTE About the resolution and compression settings

i The image captured by a digital camera consists of a collection of small

dots. The resolution refers to the number of these dots, and the greater the number, the higher the image quality. As the resolution increases, the size of the resulting data also increases, and the number of images that can be captured decreases. To compensate for this, this digital camera is able to compress the data. This digital camera uses JPEG compression. If JPEG compression is used, when the image is played back, an extremely small portion of it is lost. The higher the compression rate, the more of the original image is lost. Therefore, in the still image mode, this digital camera also allows you to store image data at extremely low compression to ensure that a minimum of the original image is lost. This is the mode. Since the image data is large when the mode is used, compared to compression, the digital camera requires more time both to store the data after the shutter release button is pressed and to display the image in the playback mode.

NOTE About the focal length

i The indicated focal length is that as measured from the lens surface. i There may be somewhat of a disparity between the focal length numerical

value that is set using the manual focus and the actual distance to the subject. To confirm the focus, it is best to check that the image is in focus on the LCD monitor.

About zoom movement when using the manual focus

i If the focus distance is set to 30 cm (11.81 in) or less, the zoom is

automatically set to the wide end.

i When the focus distance is set to 30 cm (11.81 in) or less, the zoom will

FILE NO. RESET FUNCTION

If a reformatted card is used, the file name (image number) of the captured image automatically begins from 0001. If the card is subsequently reformatted, or if a different reformatted card is used, the file names again begin from 0001. This is because the file number reset function is set to ON, and consequently it results in more than one card containing images with the same numbers. By setting the file number reset function to OFF, even if the card is reformatted or the card is replaced with another card, the consecutive numbering of file names continues from the last number recorded by the camera.
