When the light source varies, you can use a flash and supply a constant amount of light. Select appropriate settings according to a light source and a subject. To set flash options, Icon In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Flash → an option. Description Off: Do not use the flash. Smart Flash: The camera automatically adjusts the brightness of the flash according to the amount of light in the surrounding environment. Icon Description 1st Curtain: The flash fires immediately after the shutter opens. The camera captures a photo of a subject earlier in an action sequence clearly. Ball moving direction 2nd Curtain: The flash fires just before the shutter closes. The camera captures a photo of a subject later in an action sequence clearly. Ball moving direction Auto: The flash automatically fires in dark places. Auto Red-eye: The flash automatically fires and reduces red-eyes. Fill in: The flash fires whenever you capture a photo. (Brightness is automatically adjusted.) Fill-in Red: The flash fires whenever you capture a photo and reduces red-eyes. • The available options may differ depending on shooting conditions. • There is an interval between two bursts of the flash. Do not move until the flash fires a second time. • If you select Off, the flash does not fire even when an external flash is attached. Use only Samsung-approved flashes. Using incompatible flashes may damage your camera. 90 Shooting Functions > Flash Reducing the red-eye effect Adjusting the flash intensity If the flash fires when you capture a photo of a person in the dark, a red glow may appear in the eyes. To reduce the red-eye effect, select Auto Red-eye or Fill-in Red. When the flash is on, adjust the flash intensity +/-2 levels. To set the flash intensity, In Shooting mode, press [f] → Flash → an option → [D] → scroll the jog dial or press [C/F] to adjust the flash intensity. Flash : 0.0 Without red-eye reduction With red-eye reduction Back Set If the subject is too far from the camera or moves when the first flash fires, redeyes may not be reduced. 91 Shooting Functions > Flash • You can also drag the slider or touch +/- to adjust the intensity. • Adjusting the flash intensity may not be effective when: - the subject is too close to the camera - you set a high ISO sensitivity - the exposure value is too big or too small • In some shooting modes, you cannot use this function. • If you attach an intensity-adjustable external flash to the camera, the intensity settings of the flash will be applied. • If the subject is too close when you use the flash, some light may be blocked, resulting in a dark photo. Ensure that the subject is within the recommended range, which varies by lens. • When a lens hood is attached, the light from the flash can be blocked by the hood. Remove the hood to use the flash. 92 Shooting Functions Metering The metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the quantity of light. The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera captures an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual color, the camera captures an underexposed photo of it. Multi The Multi mode calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When light is sufficient or insufficient, the camera adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for general photos. The brightness and overall mood of the photo can also be affected by how the camera measures the amount of light. Select an appropriate setting for a shooting condition. To set a metering option, In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Metering → an option. 93 Shooting Functions > Metering Spot Center-weighted The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated area. The Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the Spot mode does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion of the shot (60–80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20–40 %). It is recommended for situations where there is a slight difference in brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo. The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge difference in the exposure exists between a subject and a background. 94 Shooting Functions > Metering Measuring the exposure value of the focus area When this function is turned on, the camera automatically sets an optimal exposure by calculating the brightness of the focus area. This function is only available when you select Spot metering or Multi metering, and Selection AF. To set this function, In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Link AE to AF Point → an option. 95 Shooting Functions Dynamic Range This function automatically corrects the loss of bright detail that can occur due to shading differences in the photo. In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Dynamic Range → an option. To set Smart Range options, Without Dynamic Range effect Icon With Dynamic Range effect Description Off: Do not use Dynamic Range. Smart Range+: Correct the loss of bright detail. You cannot set ISO 100. HDR: Capture 2 photos with different exposures, and then combine them to create a single image automatically. You cannot set an ISO option higher than ISO 3200. 96 Shooting Functions Smart Filter Smart Filter lets you apply special effects to your photos. You can select various filter options to create special effects that are difficult to be achieved with normal lenses. To set Smart Filter options, Option In Shooting mode, press [m] → 1 → Smart Filter → an option.

Yellow Desaturate all colors but yellow. Smart filter options cannot be set with Picture Wizard options at the same time. 97 Shooting Functions Exposure compensation The camera automatically sets the exposure by measuring the levels of light from the photo’s composition and the position of a subject. If the exposure set by the camera is higher or lower than you expected, you can adjust the exposure value manually. The exposure value is adjustable in ±3 increments. The camera displays the exposure warning in red for each step beyond ±3 range. To adjust the exposure value, while holding down [W], scroll the jog dial. You can also adjust the exposure value by pressing [f], and then selecting EV. +2 -2 Original You can check the exposure value by the position of the exposure level indicator.
