DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 21 RECORDING IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY Turn the exposure-mode dial to the auto-recording position (1); all camera operations are now fully automatic. The autofocus, exposure, and imaging systems will work together to bring beautiful results effortlessly. 1 While many of the camera’s systems in this mode are automatic. The flash mode (p. 26) and drive mode (p. 45) can also be changed. Image size and quality can be set on the auto-recording menu (p. 44, 51-52).
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 22 BASIC RECORDING OPERATION The example uses auto recording. Except for movie recording, the operation for other exposure modes is the same. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is only available in the auto recording mode. Place the subject anywhere within the focus frame. Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the lens (p. 24). For very close subjects, use the macro function (p. 35).
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 23 AUTOMATIC DIGITAL SUBJECT PROGRAM SELECTION Automatic Digital Program Selection chooses between program autoexposure and one of five digital subject programs. The digital subject programs optimize camera setting for various conditions and subjects. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is only available in auto recording and can be disabled in the auto-recording menu. For information on individual subject programs, see page 29.
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 24 FOCUS LOCK Focus lock prevents the AF system from focusing. This can be used with off-center subjects or when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing (p. 25). Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway down. • The focus signal indicates the focus is locked. The shutter speed and aperture value change from white to black indicating the exposure is locked.
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 25 FOCUS SIGNALS The focus signal in the lower right corner of the LCD monitor indicates the focus status. The shutter can be released even if the camera cannot focus on the subject. Focus locked. Focus confirmed (P, A, S, and M continuous AF focus mode and sports action digital subject program). Exposure continuously adjusts. Cannot focus. The subject is too close or a special situation is preventing the AF system from focusing.
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 26 FLASH MODES To change the flash mode, simply press the flash mode button (1) until the appropriate mode is indicated. 1 Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in lowlight and backlit conditions. Red-eye reduction - multiple flashes are used before the main flash burst to reduce red-eye; an effect caused by light reflected from the retina.

DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 27 FLASH RANGE - AUTO-RECORDING MODE The camera controls the flash output automatically. For well-exposed images, the subject must be within the flash range. Distance is given from the CCD plane. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position. Wide-angle position 0.57 - 4.7m (1.87 - 15.4 ft) Telephoto position 1.57 - 4.7m (5.15 - 15.

DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 36 PROGRAM (P) EXPOSURE MODE The program exposure mode controls both the shutter speed and aperture to ensure correct exposures. This exposure mode allows photographers to shoot without worry about exposure settings. The shutter speed and aperture values of the exposure are displayed on the monitor when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down.
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 37 SHUTTER PRIORITY (S) EXPOSURE MODE The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When shutter priority is selected, the shutter speed on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow indicator appears next to it. The shutter speed can be set between 1/2000 and 4 seconds. If the shutter speed is beyond the aperture range, the aperture display will turn red.
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 38 MANUAL (M) EXPOSURE MODE Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure. Use the up/down keys of the controller to change the shutter speed. Use the left/right keys of the controller to change the aperture. The changes made to the exposure will be visible in the live image on the monitor.

DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 54 FOCUS MODES This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is selected separately in the Digital Subject Program, movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus. The selected focus mode is not reset when the camera is turned off With the P, A, S, or M exposure modes or movie recording, the autofocus mode can be specified between single-shot AF (AF-S) and continuous AF (AF-C) in section 2 of the menu (p. 44).
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 55 WHITE BALANCE White balance is the camera’s ability to make different types of lighting appear neutral. The effect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conventional photography. An indicator will be displayed on the monitor if a setting other than auto white-balance is chosen. White balance is set independently in section 1 of the movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus (p. 44).
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 56 Custom White Balance Custom white-balance allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. The setting can be used repeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting or when critical control over color is needed. The object used to make a calibration must be neutral. A blank piece of white paper is an ideal surface and can easily be carried in a camera bag.
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 57 FULL-TIME AF With full-time AF active, the autofocus systems continually focuses to keep the monitor image sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. When the camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function off can help conserve battery power. Full-time AF can be turned on and off in section 2 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44).
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 58 Flash compensation changes the ratio between the ambient and flash exposures. When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by direct sunlight, flash compensation changes the ratio between the highlights and shadows. The flash affects the darkness of the shadows without affecting the area illuminated by the sun.

ISO is the standard used to indicate film sensitivity: the higher the number, the more sensitive the film. Camera sensitivity is set in section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44).
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:52 Page 60 COLOR MODE The color mode controls whether a still image is color or black and white. This must be set before the image is recorded. The color mode is set in section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus and section 2 of the movie menu (p. 44). The live image reflects the selected color mode. The color mode has no effect on image file size. Vivid color Black & White Sepia Natural Color reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully.

DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:56 Page 66 A SHORT GUIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHY Photography can be a rewarding pursuit. It is a broad and disciplined field that can take years to master. But the pleasure in making photographs and the joy of capturing a magical moment cannot be compared. The guide is an introduction to some basic photographic principles. The lens aperture controls not only exposure, but also depth of field; the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus.
DiMAGE_Z20_English_B412.qxd 04.12.27 16:56 Page 67 The shutter controls not only exposure, but also the ability to stop motion. Fast shutter speeds are used in sport photography to stop action. Slow shutter speeds can be used to show the flow of motion such as water cascading over a waterfall. The use of a tripod is recommended with slow shutter speeds. The change in aperture and shutter speed is not apparent in the live image. Unlike film cameras, test photographs can be taken and immediately viewed.
