The finder includes: A : Framing Area Compose your picture within these framelines. B : AF (auto-focus) frame For sharp focus, position this frame over the main subject being photographed. C : Close-up Frame Use this when photographing subjects closer than 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) from your camera.

  • Page 30: Advanced Techniques

    3. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES SELECTING THE EXPOSURE MODE Your camera offers six exposure modes to give you successful pictures under a wide range of photographic situations with various subjects. These modes are: ) Automatic flash for low light situations ) Red-eye reduction flash for more pleasing pictures of people ) Back light compensation flash mode ) Flash-off mode for natural light pictures ) Landscape mode for pictures of distant subjects...
  • Page 31 Each push of the MODE button changes the exposure mode in the following order:...
  • Page 32 : no display) Automatic flash at low brightness mode Used for general photography. The flash lamp fires automatically when the brightness of the subject is lower than the predetermined level. ) Red-eye reduction flash mode Reduce red-eye. The red-eye reduction lamp turns on for about 1 second, then the camera takes a picture when the flash fires.
  • Page 33 Dealing with red-eye When you photograph a person in dim light using flash, the pupil of the eye will sometimes appear red. Under low light, the pupils of the eye dilate for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from the flash entering the dilated pupils and being reflected back to the lens. Red-eye reduction causes a preliminary flash to fire before the actual picture is taken.
  • Page 34 ) Flash off mode Used when taking pictures with normal room lighting being utilized, or taking pictures of remote subjects beyond the range of the flash, for example, in a theater or a stadium. The flash stops firing. When taking pictures under low light, use a tripod whenever possible to avoid unsharp pictures resulting from camera shake.
  • Page 35 ) Night portrait (slow sync) mode Used when taking portraits to record the background in a night scene. The slow shutter speed/red-eye reduction flash mode can be used to make sure that both people and nighttime background scenery are photographed clearly. (Af- ter the red-eye reduction lamp has blinked for about 1 seconds, the flash fires.) This mode is automatically cancelled per shot.

  • Page 36: Using The Self-Timer

    USING THE SELF-TIMER Press the button. The self-timer can be used to take up to 3 consecutive exposures. Each press of the button changes the self-timer mode in the following order: 1 Position the AF frame over the main subject, and then compose the image within the framing area.
  • Page 37 After the self-timer lamp remains lit for about 7 seconds, it blinks for about 3 sec- onds, and then the shutter is released. When taking consecutive exposures, the shutter is released the set number of times at an interval of between 3 and 6 sec- onds.

  • Page 40: Common Sense Camera Care
