Basic Shooting and Image Playback This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes on the Mode Dial for best results and how to playback images. With the Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot and the camera sets everything automatically. Also, to prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations, camera settings cannot be changed in the Basic Zone modes. The settings (functions set automatically) which cannot be set by the user are grayed out.

C3 Fully Automatic Shooting FAQ ® The focus confirmation light <0> blinks and focus is not achieved. Aim the AF point over a part having good contrast between light and dark, then press the shutter button halfway. (p.160) if you are too close to the subject, move away and try again. ® Sometimes multiple AF points flash simultaneously. This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points. As long as the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, you can take the picture.
17 Full Auto Techniques Recomposing the Shot Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or right to create a balanced background and good perspective. In the <17 > (Full Auto) mode, while you press the shutter button halfway to focus a still subject, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the shot and press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called focus lock. Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone modes (except <_,. >).
_t Shooting Portraits The < _'_t> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. It also makes flesh tones and the hair look softer than with the (Full Auto) mode. _ Shooting Tips ® The further the better, the distance between the subject and background, The further the distance between the subject and background, the more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better in front of a plain, dark background. ® Use a telephoto lens.

To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (optional). _ Shooting Tips ® Use a simple background. A simple background makes the flower, etc., stand out better. ® Move to the subject as close as possible. Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as <_0.28m/0.gft>.
Shooting Moving Subjects To photograph a moving subject whether it be a child running or an auto race, use the <_. > (Sports) mode. _ Shooting Tips ® Use a telephoto lens. Using a telephoto lens is recommended so you can shoot from afar. ® Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to auto focus. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly.
[] Shooting Portraits at Night To shoot someone at night and obtain a natural-Iooking background, use the <_l> (Night Portrait) mode. -_ Shooting exposure in the Tips ® Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. If you use a zoom lens, set it to the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view. For night scenes, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. ® Keep the person within 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a good exposure of the person.
P'€3Disabling Flash In places where flash photography is prohibited, use the <1_> (Flash Off) mode. This mode is also effective for candlelight scenes when you want to obtain the candlelight effect. _ Shooting Tips ® If the numeric display in the viewfinder blinks, take care to prevent camera shake, Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder's shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod.

Setting the Image-Recording Quality Set the recording quality to suit the intended image size for printing, etc. Note that the recording quality will also affect the number of shots the CF card can record. Select the recording quality while thinking about the capacity of the CF card to be used. Also see "Guide to Imagerecording Quality Settings" below and "FAQ" on the next page. Select the image-recording quality. ® Under the [1_11] tab, select [Quality] and press <8>.
Setting the Image-Recording Quality FAQ ® What's the difference between L, M, S, d, and J? L, M, and S indicate the image size. L : Large, M : Medium, and S: Small, • (Fine) and • (Normal) indicate the image quality based on the data compression rate. The • image has higher image quality. If • is selected, the image quality will be slightly lower, but more images can be saved to the CF card.
Setting About the Image-Recording Quality B_ is the raw data before it is made into a • L and other images. Although RAW images require software like Digital Photo Professional (provided) so they can be displayed on the computer, they also offer flexibility for image adjustments possible only with RAW. RAW is effective when you want to create your own art or shoot an important subject.
Selecting a Picture Style* By selecting a Picture Style, you can obtain the desired image effects matching your photographic expression or the subject. Select [Picture Style]. ® Press <_> and [Picture Style] will appear. ® Press the key to select the desired Picture Style. _Take the picture. ® Focus and press the shutter button completely. The picture will be taken with the selected Picture Style applied. Picture Style Effects ® Standard The image looks vivid, sharp, and crisp.
Selecting a Picture Style* ® Faithful This is for users who prefer to process images with their personal computer. When the subject is photographed under a color temperature of 5200K, the color is adjusted colorimetrically to match the subject's color. The image is dull and subdued. ® Monochrome For black-and-white photos. Other than with RAW, the black-and-white photo cannot be reverted to color. If you want to later shoot pictures in color, make sure the [Monochrome] setting has been canceled.

Av : Changing _;_ Shooting the Depth of Field Tips ® When using a high aperture value, note that camera shake can occur in low light scenes. A higher aperture value will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod. ® The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also the lens and subject distance.
Av: Changing Using the Depth the Built-in of Field Flash The flash exposure will be set automatically to match the aperture that was set. The shutter speed will set automatically between 30 sec. - 1/ 200 sec. to suit the scene's brightness. In low light, the main subject is exposed with the automatic flash, and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically. Both the subject and background look properly exposed (automatic slow-speed flash sync).
M: Manual Exposure You can set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. With flash, the flash exposure will be set automatically to match the aperture that was set.
