6. Press the shutter release (1.11) all the way
down to take the photograph.
Notes:
It is not necessary to hold down the shutter
release to continue with sound recording.
The microphone (1.16) for sound recording is
located on top of the camera, so that both
spoken commentary and background noise can
be recorded.
Sound recording ends after 5s.
Taking photographs with programmed
automatic exposure mode P
As for AUTO mode (see p. 127), the exposure is
controlled by automatic setting of the shutter
speed and aperture. However, in contrast to
AUTO, this mode does not obligatorily include
other settings. For example, with
P you can freely
select the focus and flash modes. Furthermore, a
range of further functions are available with
P.
The full range of available modes/functions with
programmed automatic exposure mode
P is as
follows:
_ Selection of flash mode (see p. 131)
_ Flash exposure compensation (see p.143)
_ Manual setting of an external flash unit
(see p. 147)
_ Selection of exposure metering method
(see p. 138)
_ Exposure compensation (see p. 139)
_ Automatic exposure bracketing mode
(see p. 140)
_ Spot AF (see p.141)
_ Automatic focus bracketing mode (see p.144)
_ Automatic self timer (see p.132)
_ Selection of resolution (see p. 148)
_ Uncompressed image data storage in
TIFF format (see p. 148)
_ Selection of white balance setting (see p.150)
_ Selection of ISO sensitivity (see p. 151)
Setting the function:
1. Set the Record/review selector (1.14) to one of
the record modes.
2. Set the exposure mode dial (1.15) to
P.
3. Pictures are taken as described in the section
“Taking pictures in
AUTO mode” (see p. 127).
Notes:
To prevent blurred pictures with dark subjects and
the then generally slower shutter speeds, you
should hold the camera steady, i.e. support it or
use a tripod.
