3 Shooting basics Shooting mode The shooting mode includes modes where the optimal settings for the situation are automatically selected, and modes where you can select the settings best suited to the shooting conditions and the effect you wish to achieve. You can change the mode with the camera turned on, or off.
Shooting mode A Aperture priority shooting Allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F number), the camera will focus within a smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background. Increasing the value forces the camera to focus over a wider range in the forward and backward directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in focus. g“Aperture priority shooting” (P.
Shooting mode M Manual shooting Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. To check the exposure, refer to the exposure differential displayed on the monitor. This mode gives you more creative control, allowing you to make the settings you need to get the type of picture you want, regardless of optimum exposure. Using bulb allows you to take pictures at the max of 8 min of long exposure. g“Manual shooting” (P.
Shooting mode Situation-related modes m Night Scene shooting Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. For example, if you take a picture of a street at night in P mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only dots of light. In the Night Scene shooting mode, the true appearance of the street is captured. The camera automatically selects the optimal settings for this type of shooting condition.
Taking still pictures You can take still pictures using either the viewfinder or the monitor. Mode dial 1 Set the mode dial to P A S M r m l j or i and turn the camera on.

If correct focus cannot be obtained When the subject you want to focus on is not in the center of the frame and you cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus the camera on another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture as explained below. Determine the position of the subject after focusing (Focus Lock) Mode dial 1 Position the AF target mark on the subject you want to focus on. 1/200 1/ 200 F5.
If correct focus cannot be obtained Subjects that are difficult to auto focus on Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly. If this happens, focus on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the intended subject (focus lock), recompose your shot and then take the picture.
Recording movies You can also record movies with this camera. Sound is recorded at the same time. The focus and zoom are locked. If the distance to the subject changes, focus may be compromised. Mode dial 1 Set the mode dial to n and turn the camera on.

Flash shooting (Fill-in flash (#) The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light). Note • The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light. 4 The flash does not fire even in low light conditions.
Flash shooting 2nd curtain (rear curtain) #SLOW2 The 2nd curtain fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out. The slowest possible shutter speed depends on the shooting mode: A, S, M mode : 15 sec. (Bulb shot is available in M mode.)

Still Picture Record Modes 0.0 1/200 1/ 200 F5.
Record mode Note • The number of storable still pictures that can be taken may change according to the subject or factors such as whether print reservations have been made or not. In certain instances, the number of remaining pictures displayed on the monitor does not change even when you take pictures or stored images are erased. • In some cases, the larger the capacity of the card, the greater the difference between the calculated number of pictures and the actual number of pictures.
Record mode (JPEG duplicate setting Pictures taken in the RAW data format can be stored in JPEG format at the same time as they are recorded in RAW data.

Glossary of terms A (Aperture Priority) Mode You set the aperture yourself and the camera automatically varies the shutter speed so that the picture is taken with the best exposure. AE (Automatic Exposure) The camera’s built-in exposure meter automatically sets the exposure.
Glossary of terms Eclipsing (Vignetting) This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole subject is not photographed. Vignetting also refers to when the image seen through the viewfinder does not exactly match the image shot through the objective lens, so the photographed image includes objects not seen through the viewfinder. In addition, vignetting can occur when an incorrect lens hood is used, causing shadowing to appear in the corners of the image.
Glossary of terms Resolution The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For instance, a picture taken in 640 × 480 resolution is the same size as the screen when the monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is 1024 × 768, the picture only takes up part of the screen. S (Shutter Priority) Mode Also called Shutter Priority AE mode.
