Selecting a shooting mode according to the situation R NIGHT SCENE Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed NIGHT SCENE than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of a street at night in P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only dots of light.

The pictures will be taken a little darker than usual, with SUNSET stronger emphasis on reds and yellows, allowing you to record beautiful sunsets. SELECT CANDLE Suitable for taking pictures of people lit by candlelight.

Zooming in on a distant subject You can zoom in on your subject using the optical zoom and digital zoom. With the optical zoom, the image is enlarged by the CCD when the lens magnification is changed, and the image is formed by all the CCD pixels. With the digital zoom, the area at the center of the image captured by the CCD is cropped and enlarged back to size.

Flash shooting Select the flash mode best suited to the light conditions and the effect you want to achieve. You can also adjust the amount of light emitted using the flash intensity control. Flash working range W (max.): Approx. 15 cm to 3.8 m (0.5 ft. to 12.5 ft.) T (max.): Approx.
Page 40 Flash shooting Slow synchronization (#SLOW1/#SLOW2/HSLOW) The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent camera movement. But when shooting a night scene background, fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark.
Page 41: Take The Picture
Flash shooting 1st curtain with red-eye reduction HSLOW This mode is for when you want to use slow synchronization, yet also reduce the red- eye phenomenon, for instance, when shooting a person against a brightly lit night background. A normal flash might make the person’s eyes red, but 1st curtain with red-eye reduction lets you capture the background correctly and reduce the red-eye phenomenon at the same time.

Aperture priority shooting This function allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F- number), the camera will focus within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background. Increasing the value forces the camera to focus over a wider range, resulting in increased “depth of field”, in which both the subject and the background are in focus.

Page 58: Iso Sensitivity
ISO sensitivity The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values also introduce electrical noise into the resulting image, which may give it a grainy appearance.

Page 66: Noise Reduction O
Noise reduction When shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is less light focused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are generated by parts of the CCD where no light is focused and are recorded on the image as noise. When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the camera automatically reduces the noise to produce clearer images.
