Quick Start Basics
. Shooting with the Camera Alone
You can use the camera in a stand-alone configuration without turning on the
controller or otherwise establishing a connection between it and the camera.
• If an Interval Snapshot (page 34) operation is in progress, it will continue to shoot
images even when controller power is turned off.
. Shooting with Premium Auto
• In addition to shutter speed and ISO sensitivity, the camera automatically executes
the following operation as required when shooting with Premium Auto.
– Auto Focus is normally performed.
– The camera automatically determines the focus point on the screen and focuses
there.
– When shooting people, the face detection feature detects the faces of up to 12
individuals and adjusts focus and brightness accordingly.
Operation
• If unwanted light is shining onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand or attach
the lens hood (page 14) when shooting an image.
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots
• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can
cause digital noise in the monitor screen image.
• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual
image will be recorded in accordance with the currently selected recording mode
(page 37).
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an
image.
Other Precautions
• The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that noticeable noise will
be generated in an image. Because of this, the camera automatically performs a
noise reduction at slow shutter speeds. The noise reduction process causes it to
take longer to record images at lower shutter speeds. The shutter speeds for which
noise reduction is performed depend on the camera setup and shooting conditions.
• Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast
moving objects in an image may appear distorted.
