Page 52: Macro Mode
MACRO MODE The MACRO mode allows you to focus on subjects at distances between 11-50cm (4.3-19.6 inches) from the camera. When shooting objects that are 50cm or more away from the camera, reset the camera to NORMAL mode. (See page 21.)

Page 54: Scene Modes
SCENE MODES When using a programmed SCENE mode, the camera is automatically conﬁgured to the best image capture settings for the situation. Normal Mode Landscape Mode Portrait Mode Selecting the right mode helps you take the best photos automatically. And when combined with P.I.M. printing (See page 68.), the results will be terriﬁc. SELECTING A SCENE MODE Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON. Press the MENU button and select SCENE mode using the buttons. Use the ▲▼ buttons to select the speciﬁc SCENE mode you desire. FLASH control in SCENE mode Any ﬂash settings (See page30.) can be used in SCENE mode. Please note that using either the NO FLASH or FORCED FLASH settings in dark scenes will lengthen the time of exposure (shutter speed) up to 1/2 sec. which may lead to blurring. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring.
Page 55: Landscape Mode
NORMAL MODE This mode is best for most shooting. The FLASH works automatically based on the available light on the subject. The SHUTTER speed is also selected to minimize blurring. LANDSCAPE MODE This mode is best for broad landscapes. The FLASH is deactivated and the depth of ﬁeld is increased. In low light the shutter speed is slower so you can take night scenes. Use a tripod to prevent blurring. PORTRAIT MODE This mode is designed for personal portraits. The depth of ﬁeld is reduced (1-3m ) and the FLASH is automatically set to reduce red- eyes. When using the FORCED FLASH in dark settings the SLOW SYNCRO SHUTTER feature is set (See page 30.) allowing you to take shots with a brighter background. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring. When any SCENE mode is set, selecting MACRO shifts the camera settings to NORMAL mode. If you cancel the MACRO, the camera settings remains in NORMAL mode. When using SCENE mode Using SCENE modes together with Exif 2.2 software and PRINT Image Matching II will provide the best possible printing results. Other camera settings and functions in SCENE mode The Self timer, Exposure Adjustment, Resolution, Continuous Shooting, Digital Zoom, Frames, etc. are not affected by the SCENE mode.
Page 56: White Balance
WHITE BALANCE The white balance function adjusts the camera for different kinds of lighting. It makes white look the same color in any situation. The camera has two white balance modes; automatic and manual. In manual mode you can change the color settings according to your own needs. White Balance And Color Temperatures Light comes in a range of colors from high-temperature sources like the sun which are bluer to low-temperature incandescent light bulbs which are redder. The human eye adapts to these differences automatically, so things usually look the same color to us under most lighting conditions. The camera's light sensors however, must sometimes be set to reproduce the truest colors under certain conditions. AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE In this mode the camera automatically senses the light source and corrects the colors so you get the same white in any lighting situation. We recommend that you regularly use the camera in this mode. Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON. Press the MENU button and use the buttons to select WHITE BALANCE. Select AUTO by using the ▲▼ buttons.
Page 57: Selecting White Balance Manually
SELECTING WHITE BALANCE MANUALLY You can select specialized white balance settings to achieve truer colors in certain conditions; DAYLIGHT, CLOUDY, INCANDESCENT, and FLUORESCENT. Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON. Press the MENU button and use the buttons to select WHITE BALANCE. Using the ▲▼ buttons select the best choice among auto, daylight, cloudy, incandescent and ﬂuorescent. Effective use of manual WHITE BALANCE. ・Pictures taken under ﬂuorescent light tend to turn out greenish. Use the FLUORESCENT setting to correct for this. ・Incandescent light tends to make subjects appear reddish-yellow. Using the DAYLIGHT setting will allow reddish yellow colors of sunset to stay that way.
Page 58: Changing To Automatic Sensitivity Mode
LIGHT SENSITIVITY A roll of ﬁlm loaded in a camera has a ﬁxed light sensitivity, but the digital camera is more ﬂexible. You can change the light sensitivity for a speciﬁc purpose any time manually or let the camera select it automatically. In general, setting higher (ISO) light sensitivity allows for easier focusing and less chance of blurring. However your photos will appear grainier and you will lose color richness. Think about the shooting conditions and the results you want before you set the ISO. Recording Conditions Surer focus Image Quality Less blurring Fine grain Beautiful color CHANGING TO AUTOMATIC SENSITIVITY MODE The camera is set in AUTO mode at the factory, so there is no need to change anything to use this mode when you ﬁrst begin. This is the best setting for most picture taking. The status is conﬁrmed on the LCD monitor display. You can set this function during shooting with the viewﬁnder. Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON. Press the MENU button and use the buttons to select SENSITIVITY. Select AUTO by using the ▲▼ buttons.
Page 59: Setting Light Sensitivity Manually
SETTING LIGHT SENSITIVITY MANUALLY You can change the sensitivity to manual control. Use this mode when you expect blurring problems from camera motion, when you need to control depth of ﬁeld and when you want to control FLASH range. Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON. Press the MENU button and use the buttons to select SENSITIVITY. Using the ▲▼ buttons, you may select the desired sensitivity from [100] [200] or [400]. Situations for Manual Sensitivity Control ・When the image is too dark ,but you can't use the ﬂash. Or when the image is blurry, but you can't use the ﬂash. ・When you must be moving the camera in order to get a shot. OR when the object is blurry from moving at high speed. ・When you are anticipating problems in MACRO mode or any close-up situation. When you get blurry results in MACRO or any close-up situation. ・When you want to record a distant object with the FLASH. You can extend the range of the FLASH by increasing the sensitivity.
Page 60: Making Exposure Settings
MAKING EXPOSURE SETTINGS You can adjust exposure to help control how much light falls on the CCD. It inﬂuences the brightness of the entire image. You usually don't need to make manual adjustments, but it is possible to increase ＋ or decrease − the exposure to suit a particular purpose. It is recommended that these adjustments be used when shooting against the sun or when you have any very bright background where the automatic sensors may not work well. ADJUSTMENTS Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON. Press the MENU button and use the buttons to select EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT. Select the adjustment value using the ▲▼ buttons. Effects of Exposure Adjustment − 2.0EV ± 0EV ＋ 2.0EV The exposure adjustment range is from − 2.0 EV to ＋ 2.0 EV during programmed shooting. There are 9 steps of 0.5 EV each. You can conﬁrm the setting on the Display Panel of the LCD monitor. (See page 22.42) You can also set the number while shooting through the VIEWFINDER.

You can misjudge the composition of the picture if you are looking through the viewﬁnder at an angle or holding the camera away from your face. Is the subject of the picture very close to the camera? When the object is less than 1 meter from the lens, you may be experiencing parallax problems. (See page 25.) You may want to compose the shot using the LCD monitor. (See page 22.) THE IMAGE COLOR IS WRONG. Is the white balance set correctly? ･ If you use the AUTO setting under ﬂuorescent lighting conditions, the image is balanced only for green light. Instead, use the FLUORESCENT setting and the camera will adjust to the speciﬁc ﬂorescent source in your scene. ･ Use the INCANDESCENT, when you want to keep the reddish orange hues that come from shooting at sunset. PRINTING PROBLEMS See pages 79-82 or your printer instruction booklet for details.
