Take any other pictures you want with the fixed settings.
The settings are saved until you delete them.
NOTE
If your camera is without battery power for over one hour, you
will lose the fixed settings (along with the time and date and
other camera settings). To prevent this from occurring, you can
connect the camera to an optional AC adapter when you are
charging your batteries or keep a spare set of charged batteries.
See Appendix B for information.

Exposure and Color Tips

Getting the right lighting in your shots can be complicated.
These tips provide suggestions for various conditions.
If you are taking pictures in bright
sunlight:
Reduce the exposure setting.
Adjusting Exposure and Color Settings
Use a fast shutter speed or smaller aperture setting.
Use an optional filter with the camera's included lens
adapter to cut down on excessive light.
If the sky is cloudy:
Increase the exposure setting.
Try using fixed white balance.
Increase the sensitivity.
If there is complete cloud cover, avoid taking landscape
photos. Portraits and closer shots are better choices
under cloudy conditions.
If you are capturing a sunset or sunrise:
Use the fixed white balance setting.
Adjust exposure settings for different
effects.
Take several shots at different times to capture the
changing colors. (To do this automatically, set up
interval shooting as described in Chapter 3.)
