Information display on Displays information about image settings, etc. Information display + Histogram on Turns on display of camera setting and other indicators, along with a histogram (page 150).
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.

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 makes it easy to crop a moving subject out of a series of images and insert it into other images! A simple operation on the camera extracts a moving subject automatically by cropping up to 20 Continuous Shutter images.
Using the Dynamic Photo Extracted Sample Subjects Your digital camera comes with a number of extracted sample subjects in its built-in memory. You can use these sample subjects to practice creating Dynamic Photo images by inserting them into your original snapshots or movies. Step 1: Shoot the image into which you want to insert an extracted sample subject. 1. Remove the memory card from the camera (if one is loaded).
6. After creation of the Dynamic Photo image is complete, the finished image with the inserted moving subject will appear on the monitor screen. After you master the above procedure using extracted sample subjects, you will be ready to create your own extracted subjects and insert them into snapshots or movies for totally original Dynamic Photo images. Important! • You will not be able to access the extracted sample subjects in built-in camera memory while a memory card is loaded in the camera.
Creating a Dynamic Photo Image Step 1: Shoot the subject. Dynamic Photo images are created by extracting the subject out of one image, and inserting it into another image (snapshot or movie). The term “subject” as used here refers to what you extract or crop out of the first image. Perform the following steps to shoot and extract the subject. To extract the subject, you shoot once with the subject against a background. Then you shoot the same background again, this time without the subject. (Shoot twice.
3. First, shoot the subject. Best results can be obtained with the camera secured on a tripod. With the camera pointed at the moving subject, press the shutter button to record. If you selected “Moving Subject”, the camera will record a series of Continuous Shutter (CS) images over a few seconds. First, let’s just have the subject wave or perform • To help ensure good cropping results... some other simple * See “Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping”. movement as we shoot.
Complete! The camera compares the images you shot in steps 3 and 4 and extracts the subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you selected “Moving Subject”, the 20 subject images that were recorded will scroll on the screen, creating the illusion of movement. • The background you shoot is not saved. Only the 20 cropped subject images are saved. • You can interrupt an ongoing image extraction process at any time by pressing [MENU] or [BS].
4. Use [4] and [6] to select the subject you want to insert and then press [SET]. * Only 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].
Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping • When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface whose color is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to crop the subject image properly if its color is the same as or similar to the background color. • Select a blank wall for the subject background, not one with a complex pattern or shapes. Find a blank wall whose color is different from that of the subject.
Move the subject away from the wall to avoid shadows! The camera may mistake shadows on the wall or floor caused by strong sunlight, illumination, or other light sources as part of the subject. Shadows tend to form when the subject is too close to a wall. Have the subject move as far away as possible from the wall. Do not use a moving background! Good cropping is not possible if anything besides the subject is moving in the images. For example, avoid breaking waves, trees blowing in the wind, etc.
CS speed Number of images Moving Subject 1sec (20fps) 20 frames per second 20 images Moving Subject 2sec (10fps) 10 frames per second 20 images Moving Subject 4sec (5fps) 5 frames per second 20 images Still Subject – 1 image Subject type Creates a moving subject from the CS images. • The subject is cropped out of each of the CS images. • “Moving Subject 1sec (20fps)” provides smooth subject movement, but recording time is limited to one second.
Extracting Text from an Image You can write text on a blank sheet of paper, shoot an image of it, and then use the following procedure to extract the text for insertion into an image. 1. Before shooting the subject in step 3 under “Step 1: Shoot the subject.” (page 6), press [SET]. 2. Select “Number of Shots” and then press [SET]. 3. Use [8] and [2] to select “Text” and then press [SET]. 4. Press the shutter button to shoot what is written on the paper.
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/ Dynamic Studio is a free online service that can be used to convert the moving subject extracted from Continuous Shutter images created during a Dynamic Photo operation to a movie file quickly and easily.
