NOTE

•Locking the focus also locks the exposure.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Exposure Compensation (EV Shift)

Exposure compensation lets you change the exposure set-

ting (EV value) manually to adjust for the lighting of your sub-

ject. This feature helps to achieve better results when re-

cording a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, and a

subject that is against a dark background.

Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0EV to +2.0EV

Steps: 1/3EV

In a recording mode,

press [ ] and [ ].

•This causes the

exposure compensation

value to appear on the

monitor screen.

EV value

Press [ ] to increase the EV value. A higher EV value is

best used for light-colored subjects and backlight subjects.

Press [ ] to decrease the EV value. A lower EV value is

best for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on

a clear day.

•To cancel exposure compensation, adjust the value

until it becomes zero.

Compose the image and then press the shutter

relese button.

IMPORTANT!

•When shooting under very dark or very bright condi-

tions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory re-

sults even after performing exposure compensation.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Recording Consecutive Images

(Continuous Shutter Mode)

The Continuous Shutter Mode records images as long as

you keep the shutter release button depressed. Note that the

length of the interval between images depends on the image

quality setting.

IMPORTANT!

•The flash does not fire during continuous shutter re-

cording.

•You cannot use the self-timer in combination with the

continuous shutter mode.

•Never remove the battery or memory card from the

camera or unplug the AC adaptor while images are

being saved to memory.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Combining Shots of Two People into a

Single Image (Coupling Shot)

The Coupling Shot Mode lets you record images of two

people and combine them into a single image. This makes it

possible for you to include yourself in group images, even

when there is no one else around to record the image for

you.

•First Image This is the part

of the image that

does not include

the person who

is recording the

first image.

•Second

Image

•Combined

Images

Making sure that

the background

of the image is

aligned correctly,

record the image

of the person

who recorded

the first image.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Next, align the focus

frame with the sub-

ject you want in the

right side of the

image, taking care to

align the actual

background with the

semi-transparent

image of the back-

ground of the first

image, which is

shown on the monitor

screen. When every-

thing is aligned

correctly, record the

image.

•Pressing MENU any time after step 2 of the above

procedure cancels the first image and returns to step

Semi-transparent

image

NOTE

•The Best Shot Mode (page 64) includes three sample

scenes that use Coupling Shot. One of the scenes

uses two shots on the left half and the right half of the

image, as described in the procedure above. The first

shot of the other two Coupling Shot sample scenes

uses the left 1/3 of the image, while that of the remain-

ing sample scene uses the right 1/3 of the image.

Note, however, that the Coupling Shot sample scenes

in the Best Shot Mode cannot be used in the Coupling

Shot Mode.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Recording a Subject onto an Existing

Background Image (Pre-shot)

Pre-shot helps you get the background you want, even if you

need to ask someone else to record the image for you. Basi-

cally, Pre-shot is a two-step process.

1. You compose the background you want and press the

shutter release button, which causes a semi-transparent

image of the background to remain on the monitor screen.

2. Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your

original background, telling them to compose the image by

using the semi-transparent monitor screen image as a

guide.

•The camera stores the image produced by step 2 only.

•Depending on how the image is actually composed in

step 2, its background may not be exactly the same as

the one you composed in step 1.

Note that Pre-shot is available in the Best Shot Mode only

(page 64).

•Freeze the background on

the monitor screen.

•Record the image, using

the background on the

monitor screen as a guide.

•This records the image.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Align the mode dial with .

Use [ ] and [ ] to

select “Pre-shot,” and

then press SET.

Freeze the background on the monitor screen.

•Though a semi-transparent image of the background

appears on the monitor screen in step 4, the back-

ground image is not saved in memory at this time.

•The following settings are fixed for this image: focus,

exposure, white balance, zoom, flash.

Next, align the focus

frame with the sub-

ject, composing the

subject with the semi-

transparent back-

ground shown on the

monitor screen. When

everything is aligned

correctly, record the

image.

•This records the image composed on the monitor

screen in step 4. The reference background image is

not recorded.

•Pressing MENU any time after step 3 of the above

procedure cancels the background image and returns

to step 3.

•Note that formatting the built-in memory (page 103)

deletes all Best Shot Mode user setups.

NOTES

•Best Shot Mode user setups are located in memory

after the built-in sample scenes.

•The following are the settings that are included in a

Best Shot Mode user setup: focus mode, EV shift

value, filter, metering mode, white balance mode,

color enhancement, flash intensity, sharpness, satu-

ration, contrast, flash mode, ISO sensitivity, and aper-

ture and shutter speed.

•Note that images recorded with this camera only can

be used for registration of Best Shot Mode user set-

ups.

•You can register up to 999 Best Shot Mode user set-

ups.

•You can check the current setup of a scene by dis-

playing the various setting menus.

•User setups are assigned file names using the format

puter to delete its file in the “SCENE” folder in camera

memory (page 122).

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Using the Night Scene Mode

The night scene mode extends the exposure time to produce

beautiful night images.

Align the mode dial with .

Record the image.

NOTE

•When recording a portrait of a subject against a twilight

or nighttime background, you can use the Night Scene

Mode in combination with the flash to achieve a slow

sync effect that causes the subject to stand out better.

IMPORTANT!

•Always mount the camera on a tripod when using the

Night Scene Mode. This protects against blurred im-

ages caused by slow shutter speeds.

•Auto Focus may not be able to work properly when

lighting is low. If this happens, focus the image manu-

ally (page 55). Trying to record a fast moving object

can cause blurring of the image.

•The slower the shutter speed, the more likely it is that

the recorded image will not match the image that is on

the monitor screen when you press the shutter release

button.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Shooting at Fixed Intervals

You can set up the camera to record at fixed intervals, speci-

fying the number of images to be recorded, the interval be-

tween recordings, and a start time. The following describes

the types of recording variations you can configure.

•Interval Recording

Records images at a fixed interval, starting immediately.

•Timer Recording

Records a single image at a specified time.

•Interval Timer Recording

Records images at a fixed interval, starting from a specified

time.

Align the mode dial with .

Use [ ] and [ ] to change the “Shots” setting,

and then press [ ].

•Specify the number of shots you want to record. Skip

this step by pressing SET without changing the default

setting (1) if you want to record a single image.

•Select the “MAX” option if you want recording to con-

tinue until memory becomes full.

Use [ ] and [ ] to change the “Interval” set-

ting, and then press [ ].

•Specify the interval between shots. You can specify a

value from one minute to 60 minutes, in one-minute

increments.

Use [ ] and [ ] to set the start time, and then

press SET.

then press the shutter release button all the

way down.

•This causes camera power to turn off. Camera power

will turn back on and image recording will be per-

formed in accordance with the interval timer recording

settings you configured with the above steps.

■ Canceling an Interval Mode Timer Operation

Turning on the camera while it is standing by for an Interval

Mode record operation causes the message “Interval record-

ing was canceled.” to appear, and cancels the interval re-

cording operation. An Interval Mode record operation is also

cancelled by changing the mode dial setting to something

other than .

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

When shooting under these conditions:

Normal conditions

Outdoor daylight

Shade

Incandescent light bulb (reddish tinge)

Fluorescent light (greenish tinge)

Difficult lighting that requires manual

control (See below.)

Select this setting:

Auto

Manual

Use [ ] and [ ] to change the current setting,

and then press SET.

NOTE

•Selecting “Manual” changes white balance to the set-

tings achieved the last time a manual white balance

operation was performed.

Adjusting the White Balance

The wavelengths of the light produced by various light

sources (sunlight, light bulb, etc.) can affect the color of a

subject when it is recorded. White balance lets you make

adjustments to compensate for different lighting types, to

make the colors of an image appear more natural.

In a recording mode, press MENU.

Select the “REC” tab,

select “White Bal-

ance,” and then press

[].

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Point the camera at a white piece of paper or

similar object under the lighting conditions for

which you want to set the white balance, and

then press the shutter release button.

•This adjusts the white balance.

Press SET.

•This registers the white balance settings and exits the

setting screen.

•Dim lighting or pointing the camera at a dark colored

object can cause white balance to take a long time to

complete.

Adjusting White Balance Manually

Under some light sources, automatic white balance under

the “Auto” setting can take a long time to complete. Also, the

auto white balance range (color temperature range) is lim-

ited. Manual white balance helps to ensure that colors are

recorded correctly for a particular light source.

Note that you must perform manual white balance under the

same conditions you will be shooting under. You must also

have a white piece of paper or other similar object on hand in

order to perform manual white balance.

In step 3 of the

procedure under

“Adjusting the White

Balance,” select

“Manual” (page 72).

•This causes the object

you last used to adjust

manual white balance

to appear on the

monitor screen.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Selecting the Metering Mode

Use the following procedure to specify multi-pattern meter-

ing, spot metering, or center-weighted metering as the me-

tering mode.

In a recording mode, press MENU.

Select the “REC” tab, select “Metering,” and

then press [ ].

Select the setting you want and then press

SET.

Multi-pattern:

Multi-pattern metering divides the image

into sections and measures the light in

each section for a balanced exposure

reading. The camera automatically deter-

mines shooting conditions according to

the measured lighting pattern, and

makes exposure settings accordingly.

This type of metering provides error-free

exposure settings for a wide range of

shooting conditions.

Center-weighted:

Center-weighted metering measures

light concentrating on the center of the

focus area. Use this metering method

when you want to exert some control over

exposure, without leaving settings totally

up to the camera.

Spot:

Spot metering takes readings at a very

small area. Use this metering method

when you want exposure to be set ac-

cording to the brightness of a particular

subject, without it being affected by sur-

rounding conditions.

IMPORTANT!

•When “Multi” is selected as the metering mode, cer-

tain procedures cause the metering mode setting to

change automatically as described below.

•Changing the exposure compensation setting (page

58) to a value other than 0.0 changes the metering

mode setting to “Center Weighted.” The metering

mode changes back to “Multi” when you return the ex-

posure compensation setting to 0.0.

•Selecting manual exposure (page 67) changes the

metering mode setting to “Center Weighted.” The me-

tering mode changes back to “Multi” when you select

an exposure mode other than manual.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Using the Histogram

Using the DISP button to display the histogram on the moni-

tor screen makes it possible for you to check exposure con-

ditions as you record images (page 20). You can also display

the histogram of a recorded image in the Play Mode.

Histogram

A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an

image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indi-

cates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indi-

cates lightness. You can use the histogram to determine

whether an image includes the shadowing (left side), mid

tones (center), and highlighting (right) required to bring out

sufficient image detail. If the histogram appears too lopsided

for some reason, you can use exposure compensation (EV

shift) to move it left or right in order to achieve better bal-

ance. Optimum exposure can be achieved by correcting ex-

posure so the graph is as close to the center as possible.

•When the histogram is too far

to the left, it means that there

are too many dark pixels.

This type of histogram results

when the overall image is

dark. A histogram that is too

far to the left may result in

“black out” of the dark areas

of an image.

•When the histogram is too far

to the right, it means that

there are too many light

pixels.

This type of histogram results

when the overall image is

light. A histogram that is too

far to the right may result in

“white out” of the light areas of

an image.

•A centered histogram

indicates that there is good

distribution of light pixels and

dark pixels. This type of

histogram results when the

overall image is at optimal

lightness.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

IMPORTANT!

•Note that the above histograms are shown for illustra-

tive purposes only. You may not be able to achieve

exactly the same shapes for particular subjects.

•A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee

optimum exposure. The recorded image may be over-

exposed or under-exposed, even though its histogram

is centered.

•You may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram

configuration due to the limitations of exposure com-

pensation.

•Use of the flash or multi-metering, as well as certain

shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indi-

cate exposure that is different from the actual expo-

sure of the image when it was recorded.

•When using the Continuous Shutter Mode, the histo-

gram appears for the first image only (page 59).

•This histogram does not appear when you are using

Coupling Shot (page 60).

Recording Mode Settings
