Taking Photos
This camera is designed to make the experience of taking photos simple and quick. It’s Auto mode feature will optimise the internal settings so that in most situations, it can take photos with ease. This camera also has additional modes and features that extend the capabilities for the more experienced user.

3. Lightly pressing the Shutter button down to the halfway position will start the automatic focus and adjustments to the exposure level. When the camera has successfully completed this automatic routine, the focus bracket will turn green. If the automatic focus and exposure routine is not successful, the bracket will turn red. If this occurs, simply release the shutter and repeat this step until the bracket turns green. In some situations, lighting and contrast may be insufficient for the camera to successfully complete the auto focus and exposure level routine. If this occurs, try better lighting.
4. Pressing the Shutter button down fully will take the photo. If you take the photo when the bracket is red, the focus and exposure may not be correct.
If the shake warning icon appears, hold the camera steadily, with your arms at your side or use a tripod to stabilize the camera to reduce the risk of blurred photos.

Web For Internet, see “ Internet Mode” on page 45 below.
Internet Mode
The Internet Mode allows you to record videos with predefined video settings for easy upload to the Internet website.
The Internet supports two file upload standards:
• Single File Uploader. The maximum video file size is up to 100 MB.
• Internet Uploader. The maximum video file size is up to 1 GB.
Most uploaded video length ranges within 5 minutes.
Therefore when you record using the YouTube mode, the following standards are followed:
• Recorded videos are set to Internet standard resolution of 640 X 480.
• Recording automatically stops when the file reaches 100 MB.
• To record a YouTube video, select from the Movie size function. Available recording time for a YouTube video is up to 10 minutes.
Using the Stabilizer Feature
The Stabilizer feature is for Photo taking only. This feature is designed to help reduce the blurring effects on photos caused by slight camera movement. It is important to note that this feature cannot compensate for all movement and lighting situations and that in many cases may slow the camera’s ability to auto focus.
How does it work? It works according to the luminance of the target object. This function uses special image data processing to optimise the high sensitivity of CCD sensor (also known as the digital film). High sensitivity allows the use of faster shutter speeds compared to the default mode, so it may reduce blurring caused by camera movement.

AUTO
Red-eye reduction
Forced on
Slow sync
Forced off
Description
The flash fires automatically whenever the camera determines extra lighting is needed.
This is the default mode of the camera.
The flash fires twice to help reduce the red-eye effect. The first flash strobe is designed to force the iris of the subject to reduce in size to compensate for the bright light, thus reducing the reflection (red eye effect) of the Eye retina. The second strobe is when the photo is taken.
The flash fires whenever you press the Shutter button regardless of lighting conditions. This may be useful in some bright backlight situations.
This would be used to capture a dimly lit background while keeping the foreground
(subject) properly lighted. This flash mode forces the camera to use a slower shutter speed in combination with the flash. The flash fires briefly to light the foreground
(subject) while capturing ambient light to reveal more detail in the background. If
Slow Sync flash is not used, the background may appear black or underexposed.
The flash is turned off and will not fire regardless of the lighting situation. In low light situations, the use of a tripod may be required to reduce photo blurring.
• Flash function is only available in shooting still images but not available in Burst and AEB modes.
• Do not charge the flash while pressing the zoom button. Charge the flash after releasing the zoom button if necessary.

Infinity
Description
With normal focus, the focus range starts from 0.4m (about 16 inches) to near infinity.
When the camera is set to Normal mode, there is no icon displayed on the screen.
This mode is designed for close-up photography. This mode should be used for subjects closer that are 0.4 m (or 16 inches) from the lens. If Macro is enabled, the camera can capture the detail and sharpness of a very close subject by fixed focus.
This mode is designed to accurately focus on a desired subject so that closer and further objects are out of focus. For example, the camera might focus on a nearby tree, and the distant trees and mountains are blurry, as well as an even closer object such as a flower.
When Infinity is set, the camera focuses on distant objects. This may be good to use when taking landscape photos.
Setting the Drive Mode
Your camera features a Self-timer and Burst which can be set in the Drive mode function on the screen. The Selftimer allows you to take photos after a pre-defined delay. While burst lets you take consecutive shots. This function is only available in recording still images. The Drive mode setting is automatically set to off when you turn off the camera.
To activate Drive mode:
