Shooting - Selecting Particular Effects Camera settings- such as image resolution and compression, shutter speed and aperture- can be freely changed for shooting. • Please see “Auto Mode” (p. 41) for shooting procedures once you have changed a setting. Changing the Resolution and Compression You can change the resolution and compression (excluding movies) settings to suit the purpose of the image you are about to shoot.

Other Modes Movie Mode Resolution (excluding movies) Recordable Images Recordable Movie Time (Sec.) • The selected resolution and compression settings will show in the display panel. Compression 4 Shoot the image.
Changing the File Format The recording file format can be switched to the RAW format. With the standard JPEG file format, the camera processes images after capturing them to produce optimal results. This format compresses images so that more can be stored on a single CF card. However, the compression is irreversible, meaning that the original image data cannot be recovered after processing. In contrast, the RAW format records the image data as captured by the camera’s CCD without further processing.
Program AE Use the program AE mode to have the camera automatically set the shutter speed and aperture settings to match the brightness of the scene. 1 2 Turn the mode dial to . Shoot the image. • The shutter speed and aperture settings will be set automatically and shown in the display panel. They will also appear in the LCD monitor if it is on. • The correct exposure has been set if the shutter speed and aperture settings do not blink in the display panel.
Setting the Shutter Speed When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-priority AE mode, the camera automatically selects an aperture setting to match the brightness. Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in dark areas. 1 2 3 Turn the mode dial to . • The shutter speed will show in the display panel. It will also appear on the LCD monitor if it is on.
• If the aperture value is flashing in the display panel or shown in red in the LCD monitor, the image is under- or overexposed or (insufficient light). Adjust the shutter speed using the arrow on the omni selector until the flashing stops or the aperture value display turns to white. • The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.
Setting the Aperture When you set the aperture in the aperture-priority AE mode, the camera automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness. Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to fade the background and create a beautiful portrait. A higher aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from foreground to background into focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the range of the image brought into clear focus. 1 Turn the mode dial to .
• If the shutter speed is flashing in the display panel or shown in red in the LCD monitor, the image is under- or overexposed or (insufficient light). Adjust the aperture value using the arrow on the omni selector until the flashing stops or the shutter speed display turnes to white. • F2.0 and F2.2 cannot be selected when the focal length has been set to the maximum telephoto setting with the zoom lever. • Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds.
Manually Setting the Shutter Speed and Aperture You can manually set the shutter speed and aperture to achieve a particular effect. This is convenient for shooting fireworks and other images for which it is difficult to set the correct exposure automatically. 1 Turn the mode dial to . • The shutter speed and aperture setting will show in the display panel. They will also appear on the LCD monitor if it is on. Press the or arrow on the omni 2 selector to select a shutter speed.
• The exposure compensation, AE Lock, FE Lock, flash exposure compensation, AEB and ISO speed (Auto) settings cannot be adjusted in this mode. • The 1/1000 second shutter speed can be selected when the aperture is set to F8.0. • If you wish to change the exposure, press the or arrow on the omni selector or arrow to adjust the aperture.
Selecting an AF Frame The AF frame indicates the area of the composition on which the camera focuses. You can select one AF frame from among the three available. This is convenient for focusing accurately on an off-center subject to obtain the composition you desire. 1 2 3 Press the button. • The selected AF frame will appear in the display panel. The three AF frames will also appear in the LCD monitor if it is on. Press the or arrow on the omni selector to chose an AF frame.
Adjusting the Exposure Compensation Adjust the exposure compensation setting to avoid making the subject too dark when it is backlit or shot against a bright background. 1 2 3 Press the button once. • The exposure compensation bar will appear in the display panel. The bar will also appear in the LCD monitor if it is on. Press the or arrow on the omni selector to select a setting. • The settings can be adjusted in 1/3 steps in the range of -2EV to +2EV. Press the button.
Setting the White Balance When the white balance mode is set to match the light source, the camera can reproduce colors more accurately. Set the white balance mode to a natural or artificial light setting according to the circumstances.
• This setting cannot be adjusted in the and (sepia or B/ W) shooting mode, it can only be adjusted for the first image. modes. In • The selected shooting mode will determine whether or not the white balance setting is cancelled when the camera is turned off (p. 85). Setting a Custom White Balance You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for the shooting conditions by having the camera evaluate a subject such as a white piece of paper, a white cloth or a photo-quality gray card.
5 Shoot the image. • If you pressed the shutter button at Step 4, the white balance mode will reappear after the shot, allowing you to change the setting for the next shot. • To set and use a custom white balance setting, it is advisable to select the shooting mode and set the exposure compensation and flash exposure compensation to zero (±0). The correct white balance may not be obtained when the exposure is incorrect (image is completely black or white).
Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB Mode) In this mode, the camera automatically changes the exposure within a set range to take three shots after you press the shutter button once. You can adjust AEB settings in 1/3EV steps within the range of -2EV to +2EV of the standard exposure setting. AEB settings can be combined with exposure compensation settings (p. 69) to extend the adjustment range. The images are shot in the following order: Standard exposure, underexposure and overexposure. 1 2 Press the times.
Adjusting the Flash Output (Flash Exposure Compensation) You can adjust the flash output for flash photography. 1 2 Press the times. button four • The icon and the flash exposure compensation bar will appear in the display panel. The flash exposure compensation bar will also appear in the LCD monitor if it is on. Press the or arrow on the omni selector to expand or contract the range. • The flash exposure compensation can be adjusted in 1/3 steps within a range of -2EV to +2EV. 3 Press the button.
