How to Use the Histogram A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indicates lightness. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph is as close to the center as possible.

E Getting the Most Out of Dynamic Photo For a wealth of information about Dynamic Photo including explanations about how to use Dynamic Photo images, the Dynamic Studio image conversion service, sample images, and more, visit the special Dynamic Photo website at: http://dp.exilim.com/ This manual provides an introduction to Dynamic Photo, which creates a whole new way to enjoy digital imaging. • All screen shots shown in this manual are in English.
Dynamic Photo! A totally new way to enjoy digital photography! Dynamic Photo provides an easy way to insert built-in subjects into snapshots and movies for a whole new way to enjoy digital imaging. You can create a Dynamic Photo image by inserting a built-in moving subject into a background image (snapshot or movie). Before performing the following steps, you should record the background image (snapshot or movie) into which you want to insert the moving subject.
Creating a Dynamic Photo Image Your digital camera comes with a number of subjects in its built-in memory (“built-in subjects”). You can use these built-in subjects to create Dynamic Photo images by inserting them into your original snapshots or movies. Step 1: Shoot the image into which you want to insert an built-in subject. 1. Remove the memory card from the camera (if one is loaded). You will not be able to access the built-in subjects while a memory card is loaded in the camera. 2.
4. Use [4] and [6] to select the built-in subject that you want to insert into the image and then press [SET]. * Only built-in subjects that can be inserted into other images will appear at this time. 5. If you are inserting a subject into a movie an image will appear on the monitor screen showing the approximate location of the subject in the movie. Use [4] and [6] to shift the location to the position you want. After you are finished, press [SET].
Complete! • Inserting a built-in subject into a snapshot will save a Dynamic Photo that consists of 20 still images of 2M size or smaller. • Inserting a built-in subject into a movie will save the Dynamic Photo as a movie file. Important! • You will not be able to access the built-in subjects while a memory card is loaded in the camera.
Step 3: Have fun with Dynamic Photo. You can use the Dynamic Photo image you created in Step 2 in a variety of fun ways. On the camera Dynamic Photo images play back automatically as soon as you display them on the EXILIM monitor screen. On a TV Connect your EXILIM to a TV with the AV cable and you can enjoy watching Dynamic Photo images on your TV screen. Step 4: Converting a Dynamic Photo Still Image to a Movie (Movie Converter).
Step 5: Use Dynamic Studio to expand use of Dynamic Photo images to other applications. http://dynamicstudio.jp/ Using the CASIO EXILIM Dynamic Photo feature to create a Dynamic Photo image with a moving subject produces a CS image that reproduces the movement of the character. Dynamic Studio is a free online service that lets you convert the CS image to a movie file for playback on a PC, digital photo frame, cell phone, or other device.
