    After the picture has been taken, it is saved in the camera’s memory. It is also displayed on the LCD for a few seconds as a confidence check. The memory can hold about 15 shots, dependent on picture content. The LCD on top of the camera displays the number of frames remaining.

  • Page 7: Advanced Operation

    Advanced Operation There are several options available to you to become more creative in your picture taking. These options include exposure override, aperture control, shutter control, focus and flash. Exposure Compensation This would be used when you know that the meter on the camera could be fooled.

  • Page 8: Eposure Compensation - Examples

    Here are some examples of exposure compensation: Aperture Priority (A) This is another shooting mode which gives you more creative control. You would use this to throw a background out of focus whilst keeping the subject sharp (small aperture number). Alternatively you can have the foreground and the background in focus (large aperture number).

  • Page 9: Depth Of Field - Examples

    If there is not enough light to take a picture at your selected setting, the camera will warn you by flashing the settings in red when you half press the shutters. You must select either another mode or aperture setting. Remember: Small “F”...

  • Page 10: Shutter Priority

    Shutter Priority This is the third shooting mode. It gives you another creative tool as it allows you to vary the time the shutter is open. This has the effect of freezing motion at high shutter speeds and blurring motion at low shutter speeds.

  • Page 11: Shutter Speeds - Examples

    Here are some examples of different shutter speeds. Slow Shutter speed Fast shutter speed...

  • Page 12: Flash Options

    Flash Options The camera has a built in flash which is controlled by the camera itself. The flash has several modes, but the amount and the duration of the flash are automatic. The modes available are Auto, Forced (fill in), Anti Red Eye and off. The different flash modes are available in each of the shooting modes (P, A and S).

  • Page 13: Off

  • Page 14: Fill In Flash - Examples

  • Page 15: Focus

    Focus This camera has an automatic focus system. It will focus on whatever is in the crosshairs on the viewfinder. This means that if the subject is not in the centre of the screen, it will not be in focus. To combat this you must first frame up the shot so that the subject is in the crosshairs.

  • Page 16: Macro Mode

    Macro Mode This mode allows you to shoot an object very close up. You would use this to shoot a flower head for example. To use the macro mode, the subject needs to be between 20cm and 80cm from the lens. Note that at this close range, what you see through the viewfinder is not quite what you get recorded.

  • Page 17: Miscellaneous

    Miscellaneous If this symbol starts to flash, then the batteries need changing. Please take note of the orientation of the batteries (there is a schematic diagram under the camera). The camera will go into standby mode if not operated for more than 3 minutes. After 4 hours the camera will switch off.
