Q&A
The following are some frequently asked questions.
Q:Pressing the shutter button does not cause the camera to immediately
take a photograph. Why does this happen?
A: Are you using the "half-shutter" function (pressing the shutter button down halfway)? This
camera adjusts the focus and exposure when the shutter button is pressed down halfway. If you
fully press the shutter button down, the camera first tries to adjust the focus and exposure. After
finding the appropriate values for these, it takes a photograph, resulting in a time lag between
the time when the shutter button is pressed and when a photograph is actually taken.
We recommend using the "half-shutter" function so as not to miss photo opportunities. For this
function, see "Photography (Auto photography)"
Q:I tried correcting the image, but I am having trouble doing so.
A: The image you photographed is lighter or darker than expected, or its color is not to your liking.
We are sure that there are those who have experienced this. Though images taken on a camera
can be corrected to match your preference, you will not be able to correct them if you are not
familiar with camera operations. The image viewing software "ACDSee" supplied with the
camera has an auto-correction function which allows anybody to correct images with ease.
1) Start up ADCSee.
2) Open the image you want to correct.
3) Click "Edit" in the "Tool" menu.
The edit screen appears.
4) Click "Auto-adjust" in the "Adjust" menu.
5) Save the corrected image.
* The image itself may reduce the effect of this procedure.
ACDSee has image editing functions other than "Auto-adjust".
For details, consult the Help file in the application.
