ATTENTION • Close-up shots taken using the [MACRO] setting are more likely to be affected by camera shake. 1 Set the camera to recording mode and move the OK button to . A list of focus icons appears.
Manual Focus You can also focus the camera manually. POINT • Manual focus allows you to fix the focus at a set location, so it can be very useful for shots of moving subjects and for dark or strongly backlit situations where the camera has difficulty focusing. In the focus settings ( p.62), select [ ]. The approximate distance is displayed on the screen. Use the jog dial to focus the shot. The focus is locked. To re-focus the shot, use the jog dial.
Using Exposure Bias When there is a large difference (contrast) between the brightness of the subject and the background, or when the subject makes up only a very small part of the image, you can use exposure bias (see “Glossary” p.197) to get the correct image brightness (exposure). The exposure bias values range from –2.0 to +2.0 and can be set in 1/3-EV increments. 1 Set the camera to recording mode and move the OK button to . The exposure bias icon and current exposure value appear.
Using the Backlight Compensation Function In shots where a lot of light enters the camera, such as shots taken facing towards the light source, the subject may appear too dark. Backlight compensation is a type of exposure bias that adjusts the exposure so that the subject appears brighter in the shot. The backlight compensation setting reverts to off when you turn the camera off or the Auto power off function is activated. 1 Set the camera to recording mode and press the button.
Photography Using the Assist Light Use this feature to make focusing on your subject easier when you are shooting in a dark location.

At this point, an animation showing the shutter closing is recorded in the video. See “Setting the Still Image Size” p.80. • You cannot use the flash to shoot a still image during video recording.
Using the Conversion Lens or Lens Hood The conversion lens is mounted in front of the lens to change the shooting angle. Use the conversion lens for more distant, wide-angle shooting. The lens hood is a cover designed to prevent sunlight shining directly into the lines. Use the lens hood when shooting backlit subjects. Use a commercially available conversion lens or lens hood. 1 Attach a commercially available conversion lens or lens hood to the lens as shown in the figure.

This setting reverts to off when you turn the camera off or the Auto power off function is activated. POINT • Using the [2 SEC.] self-timer delay is an effective way to avoid camera shake when you are shooting still images. 1 From the recording menu, use the jog dial to select [SELFTIMER] and press the OK button.
Continuous Recording The gigashot offers two continuous recording modes: normal continuous recording or continuous recording in which the exposure is automatically changed (AEB photography). [AEB] provides a convenient way to try out shots with different exposure settings. POINT • Continuous recording is ideal for subjects where photo opportunities are easily missed, such as with children and pets. 1 From the recording menu, use the jog dial to select [CONTINUOUS RECORDING] and press the OK button.
MEMO • The number of shots taken in continuous recording differs depending on factors such as the still image size settings and the amount of space available on the media. • If there is insufficient available space on the hard disk drive or SD card, recording ends before the limit on the number of shots is reached. • The flash cannot be used in continuous recording. • The interval between shots varies depending on the recording conditions.

Shooting with Natural Color Tones (White Balance) When you take pictures under a range of different light sources, you can use the white balance (see “Glossary” p.198) setting to obtain more natural-looking colors. POINT • If the stored white balance setting is unsuitable, you can use presets to manually set the white balance. ATTENTION • If you use a setting other than [AUTO] and the selected setting does not match the light source, the color tones may appear unnatural.

Changing the Sensitivity This option sets the sensitivity used when you shoot images. When you are shooting in dark locations or anywhere flash use is forbidden, it is recommended that you increase the sensitivity. POINT • When you are shooting fast-moving subjects, increasing the sensitivity also increases the shutter speed and helps to reduce blurring of the subject.
Shooting with Image Stabilization Image stabilization reduces the problem of camera shake when you are shooting video. POINT • Image stabilization is particularly useful when you are using the zoom. ATTENTION 1 From the recording menu, use the jog dial to select [IMAGE STABILIZATION] and press the OK button.
