• When the optimum mode is judged to be Night Scene while the Flash

Mode is set to Auto and Auto+Red-eye, firing of the flash is disabled.

Taking Pictures in Dimly Lit Locations

When taking pictures under low light conditions, such as during twilight or at night, the camera shutter must be opened longer to allow more light in.

This camera comes with a special mode A (Night Scene) for taking pictures when light levels are low. In Night Scene mode, the camera decreases the shutter speed for optimal exposure to capture beautiful pictures at night. You can also use this mode to take portraits with night scenes in the background as the camera will automatically select a long shutter speed even when using the flash.

Memo

• When pictures are taken in dimly lit locations, the shutter must stay open longer which contributes to camera shake. When using a shutter speed at which camera shake is likely to occur, f (camera shake warning) appears on the LCD monitor. To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the selftimer or remote control function.

• You can also increase the ISO sensitivity setting to take pictures in dimly lit locations without using the flash. When the ISO sensitivity is increased, the shutter speed also increases, making it easier to prevent camera shake and blurring of the subject. However, noise, which appears as a grainy pattern,

may appear in the picture (p.76).

Selecting a Shooting Mode

Taking Pictures of Your Pet

In Pet mode (E), choose the appropriate icon depending on whether your pet is dark, light, or in between. The exposure will automatically be adjusted to produce the best picture. Choosing either the cat or dog icon does not affect the resulting picture. Choose whichever you prefer.

Taking Pictures of Text

In the B (Text) mode, sharp photos of text can be taken. This mode is handy for saving important documents as images or for when text is too small for reading. You can also select from color, color reversed, black and white, or black and white reversed to match the display or state of the text.

Reducing the Influence of Camera Shake or Blurring of Subjects

In the c (Digital SR) Mode, photos can be taken at a higher ISO sensitivity which results in reduced blurring. In this mode, the shutter speed and aperture are automatically set to the appropriate values. Use this mode in photographic scenes where camera shake or blurring of the subject may occur due to low light levels.

The ISO sensitivity is fixed to AUTO3200 in the Digital SR mode.

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone

The camera will automatically adjust settings such as brightness and color tone to capture pictures and movies as optimally as possible. If, however, you want to use creative effects, you will need to customize the shooting functions. This section explains the various built-in functions that can help you to capture better pictures and movies.

Size and Quality Level

Set the size and quality level according to how you intend to use the

pictures or movies (p.54).

Brightness

The brightness (exposure) of a picture is determined by the amount of light entering the camera lens (aperture) and the length of time the light is allowed to enter (shutter speed). If the brightness of a picture is not at the desired level,

one solution is to adjust the setting using the EV compensation function (p.59).

The AE metering function is also helpful in allowing you to select the metering method to measure proper brightness under different shooting

situations (p.61).

When you take a picture in a dimly lit location, using the flash to illuminate

the subject is a basic technique (p.62). But if you want a more natural

feeling and do not want to use the flash, adjusting the ISO sensitivity

(p.76) can help produce a properly exposed image.

Color Balance (White Balance)

Use the white balance setting if the color balance of the image is not

pleasing, or if you want to give the picture a bluish or reddish look (p.64).

Sharpness, Saturation, and Contrast

Sharpness, saturation and contrast settings are available in three levels

(p.66) for sharpening or softening the outlines of an image, enhancing its

vividness, and adjusting the image contrast.

Automatically Changing the Shooting Settings When Taking

Pictures (Auto Bracket)

Use the Auto Bracket setting to take three continuous pictures with the shooting settings (exposure, white balance, sharpness, saturation, and contrast) automatically changed when the shutter release button is

pressed. (p.67)

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone

Setting the Recorded Pixels, Quality Level, and Frame Rate

You can set the number of recorded pixels (width × height) and quality level (data compression rate) for pictures and movies, and the frame rate

(number of frames per second) for movies, according to how you intend to use the pictures or movies.

The larger the number of recorded pixels and quality level (indicated by the number of stars (E)), the clearer the details will appear when you print your picture or play back a movie. Similarly, the larger the frame rate, the smoother the movement will appear in movies. However, these increase the file size of pictures or movies, thereby reducing the number of pictures that can be stored in memory or the recording time for movies.

Set the [Recorded Pixels], [Quality Level], and [Frame Rate] settings according to how you intend to use your pictures and movies.

Memo

The camera adjusts the proper exposure for the subject based on a neutral gray subject. Therefore, if you take a picture of a snowy scene or a black piano, for example, the subject may appear gray. To make black objects appear black, adjust the EV setting toward p, and to make white objects appear white, adjust it toward q.

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone

Using the Histogram

This camera has a function for displaying a graph (histogram) that shows the tonal range of your scene with the darkest areas on the left and the brightest ones to the right. The height of the points along the graph show the number of pixels at each brightness value.

The shape of the histogram, which can be viewed before and after shooting, shows the brightness and contrast of the picture so you can decide if you want to use EV compensation to improve it.

“Displaying Shooting Information in Capture Mode” (p.41), “Displaying

Shooting Information” (p.88)

Understanding Brightness

Usually, if the exposure is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is too dark, the peak is on the left side, and if it is too bright, the peak is on the right side.

Dark image Correct image Bright image

When the image is too dark, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions) and when the image is too bright, the part to the right is cut off (bright portions).

With EV compensation, you can adjust the exposure so that the distribution is contained within the graph without the graph peaking on the left or right side, thereby preventing pictures that are too dark or too light.

Understanding Contrast

The graph peaks gradually for images in which contrast is balanced. The graph peaks on both sides but sinks in the middle for images with a large difference in contrast and low amounts of mid-level brightness.

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone

Selecting the AE Metering

You can choose which area of the image to measure for determining the exposure (brightness).

AE Metering

Multi-segment metering

Center-weighted metering

The camera takes a detailed reading of the overall brightness of the picture and determines the correct exposure. The camera can obtain a relatively correct exposure even for complex subjects with both dark and light areas.

The camera takes a uniform reading of the overall brightness of the picture with the metering concentrated at the center of the image. You can take pictures with the correct exposure for subjects at the center of the picture even if the surrounding background is lighter or darker than the subject.

Spot AE metering

The camera determines the exposure by metering only the objects in the center spot. Use this to obtain correct exposure on a small part of the image.

C (Movie), the drive mode is set to 1 (Cont. Shooting), the Auto Bracket is set to l (Exposure), or the focus mode is set to s (Infinity).

• Taking pictures using the flash in dark locations may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is reflected in the subject’s eyes. Setting the flash mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is an effective way of preventing red eyes. It can be also reduced by illuminating the area around the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out. If the subject’s eyes still appear red despite such precautions, they can be

corrected by the red-eye compensation function later (p.128).

• Pre-flashes discharge when the flash mode is set to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye).

The camera may not be able to focus under the following conditions. In this case, lock the focus on an object the same distance away as the subject (by pressing the shutter release button halfway), then aim the camera at your subject and press the shutter release button fully.

• Objects that lack contrast such as a blue sky or white wall

• Dark places or objects, or conditions that prevent light being reflected back

• Horizontal lines or intricate patterns

• Fast moving objects

• When there is an object in the foreground and an object in the background in the same picture

• Strongly reflected light or strong backlighting (bright background)

Focusing

Focusing in Dimly Lit Locations

By default, the camera is set to use the auxiliary AF light for easier

focusing in dimly lit locations (p.75).

Preventing Camera Shake and Blurring of the Subject

There are several solutions to prevent inadvertent camera movement

(camera shake) and blurring of the subject. Increasing the ISO sensitivity

(p.76) or using the flash (p.62) are possible solutions as the camera then

takes pictures at higher shutter speeds. Higher shutter speeds are effective for preventing both camera shake and blurring of the subject.

When the Digital SR Mode is used, an ISO sensitivity higher than that of

other Capture Modes is set, so camera shake is less likely to occur. (p.49)

You can check if camera shake is likely to occur when f (camera shake warning) appears on the LCD monitor. Using a tripod and the self-

timer (p.79) or remote control function (p.80) is recommended especially

when camera shake is likely to occur.

Changing the Depth of Field

By zooming in on your subject from a close distance, you can narrow the

depth of field and create a blurred background (p.50).

Focusing

Memory Card.

If an SD Memory Card is in the camera, all its data will be deleted. If no

SD Memory Card has been inserted in the camera, all the data in the builtin memory will be deleted.

Caution

• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it unusable.

• A write-protected SD Memory Card cannot be formatted (p.19).

• Formatting will delete ALL data including protected images, sound files, and any other data recorded on the card.

• SD Memory Cards formatted on a PC or device other than this camera cannot be used. Be sure to format the card with this camera.

• If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD memory card you should ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information. Please note that formatting the SD card will not necessarily delete the data so that it cannot be recovered using off the shelf data recovery software. There are off the shelf secure data deletion software programs available that will completely delete the data. In any case the data on your SD memory card should be managed at your own risk.
