ISO Exposure compensation

You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures. The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated in ISO numbers. ISO menu is available in the Program and Manual mode.

This camera automatically adjusts the exposure according to the ambient lighting conditions. You can also select the exposure value in the compensating exposure menu. Exposure compensation menu is available in the Program and DUAL IS, Movie mode.

- AUTO : The camera’s sensitivity is automatically changed by variables such as lighting value or subject brightness.

- 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 : You can increase the shutter speed while the same amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in high luminance. The higher the ISO value, the greater is the camera’s sensitivity to light; therefore it has a greater capacity for taking pictures in darker conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.



When the [M. CAPTURE] menu is selected, you only can select ISO AUTO, 400, 800, 1600, 3200. When the ISO 3200 menu is selected, the image size is fixed as 3M.

■ Compensating Exposure

1. Press the exposure compensation menu button and the exposure compensation menu bar will appear as shown.

2. Touch the button and slide your finger to select the exposure value.

3. Press the exposure compensation menu button again. The value you set will be saved and the Exposure Compensation setup mode will close.



A negative exposure compensation value reduces the exposure. Note that a positive exposure compensation value increases the exposure and the LCD monitor will appear white or you may not get good pictures.

ACB (Auto Contrast Balance) Shutter Speed

When this option is selected, the contrast is automatically adjusted. That is, when pictures are taken in backlight conditions where the exposure varies considerably or where there is wide variation in brightness, the brightness is automatically adjusted to obtain clear picture quality.

This mode will set the shutter speed for automatic exposure in manual mode. High shutter speeds can capture a moving object in a way that makes it seem as if the object is not moving. Low shutter speeds can capture a moving object, giving it a dynamic feeling of movement.

■ Setting up the shutter speed

To select the shutter speed, touch the button and slide your finger to the left or

right.

 The ACB function is available in AUTO, PROGRAM or PORTRAIT recording

mode. ACB function always operates in the AUTO, PORTRAIT recording mode. The ACB function is not available when the HIGH SPEED, M.CAPTURE or

Important notes

Be sure to observe the following precautions!

This unit contains precision electronic components. Do not use or store

●

this unit in the following locations.

- Areas exposed to severe changes in temperature and humidity.

- Areas exposed to dust and dirt.

- Areas exposed to direct sunlight or the inside of a vehicle in hot weather.

- Environments where there is high magnetism or excessive vibration.

- Areas with high explosives or highly flammable materials.

● Do not leave this camera in places subject to dust, chemicals (like naphthalene and mothball), high temperatures or high humidity. Keep this camera with silica gel in a hermetically sealed box when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time.

● Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

- Do not let sand get inside the camera when using it on beaches, coastal

dunes, or other areas where there is lots of sand. Doing so may result in failure or may render the camera permanently unusable.

● Handling the camera

- Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.

- Protect the large size LCD monitor from an impact. When this camera is not

used, keep it in the camera case.

- Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.

- This camera is not waterproof. To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never

hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

- If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do not let

water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in failure or may permanently damage the unit.

● Extremes in temperature may cause problems.

- If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry. If this seems likely, wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed before attempting to use the camera. Moisture built up can also occur on the memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

● Caution on Using the Lens

- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.

- Avoid getting fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.

● If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge

can occur. It is a good idea to remove the battery and the memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.

If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off

●

to protect the memory card.

Important notes Warning indicator

● Camera Maintenance.

- Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to gently clean the lens and LCD assemblies. If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used. Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera to come into contact with solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc. This may damage the body shell of the camera and also affect its performance. Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep the camera in a protective carrying case when not in use.

● Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.

Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire.

●

This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction.

When images are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be

●

affected by static electricity. In this case, disconnect and re-connect the

USB cable before trying the transfer again.

Always check the condition of the camera before an important event or

●

going on a trip.

- Take a picture to check that the camera is working correctly and ensure you have a fully charged spare battery.
