Page 60: Shooting Basics
3 Shooting basics Shooting mode The shooting modes include modes where the optimal settings for the situation are automatically selected, and modes where you can select the settings best suited to the shooting conditions and the effect you wish to achieve.
Page 61 Shooting mode Aperture priority shooting 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 in the forward and backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in focus.
Page 62 Shooting mode Manual shooting Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. To check the exposure, refer to the exposure status display. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to make the settings you need to get the type of picture you want, regardless of optimum exposure.
Page 63 Shooting mode Landscape shooting Suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and other outdoor scenes. Both the foreground and the background are in focus. Since blues and greens are vividly reproduced in this mode, it is excellent for shooting natural scenery. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions.

Page 102: Ae Lock - Locking The Exposure
AE Lock - Locking the exposure This function is suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve, such as when there is excessive contrast between the subject and the surroundings. For example, if the sun is in the frame and shooting with automatic exposure results in a dark subject, recompose your shot so that the sun is not in the frame.
Page 103 AE Lock - Locking the exposure Press the shutter button fully. • AE lock is automatically canceled after one shot. During AE lock, AEL is displayed. TIPS To save the locked multi-metering exposure after shooting (AE memory) → After setting AE lock in Step 1, or after pressing the shutter button halfway in Step 2, hold down the AEL button for more than 1 second.
Page 104: Macro Mode Shooting
Macro mode shooting Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (20 cm to 80 cm) (0.7 ft. to 2.6 ft.). However, in the & mode focusing is performed quickly. When the optical zoom is at the maximum position and you are as close as 20 cm (0.7ft.) to your subject, you can fill the entire frame with a business card-sized subject.
Page 105: Super Macro Shooting
Super macro shooting This mode lets you shoot from as close as 3 cm (1.2") to your subject. Subjects measuring up to approximately 2.1 cm × 2.8 cm (0.06" × 0.09") can be captured on the monitor. In the % mode, normal shooting is also possible, but the zoom cannot be used.

Page 109: Sequential Shooting
Sequential shooting There are 4 sequential shooting modes: high speed sequential shooting, sequential shooting, AF sequential shooting and auto bracketing. Sequential shooting cannot be performed when the record mode is set to TIFF. Drive mode Shoots one frame at a time when the shutter button is pressed. (Normal shooting mode, single-frame shooting) Pictures can be taken at a faster speed than normal sequential shooting.
