CHANGING TO AUTOMATIC SENSITIVITY MODE
The camera is set in AUTO mode at the factory, so there is no need to change

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
MAKING EXPOSURE SETTINGS
You 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.

turn the POWER ON.

Press the MENU button and use
the l r buttons to select
