Using the Stabilizer Feature

The Stabilizer feature is for Photo mode only. This feature is designed to help reduce the blurring effects on photos caused by slight camera movement. It is important to note that this feature cannot compensate for all movement and lighting situations and that in many cases may slow the camera???s ability to auto focus.

How does it work? It works according to the luminance of the target object. This function uses special image data processing to optimise the high sensitivity of CCD sensor (also known as the digital film). High sensitivity allows the use of faster shutter speeds compared to the default mode, so it may reduce blurring caused by camera movement.

Stabilizer button

To activate Stabilizer

???Press the Stabilizer button located on the top of the camera to enable/disable stabilizer.

If Stabilizer is enabled, the stabilizer icon is displayed on

the LCD screen and the ISO setting is automatically setStabilizer on to Automatic. See ???ISO??? on page 28 for more details.

Setting the Zoom Control

Using a combination of 4 times optical zoom and 5 times digital zoom permits zoom photography at up to 20 times magnification. While the digital zoom can be a useful feature, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more pixelated (grainier) the image may appear. Please refer to ???Setting the Digital Zoom??? on page 23 on how to setup digital zoom.

To adjust the optical zoom:

Digital zoom 1X to 5X

???Digital zoom is not available for video recording.

???Slight camera movement in digital zoom will make it more dif???cult to focus on objects/subjects. Use of a tripod can reduce this issue.

Using the Flash Features

By default, this camera is set to automatic flash mode which means that it will determine when to use this feature or not. However, is some situations, it may be useful to manually select the appropriate flash mode. When taking

pictures in difficult lighting conditions, use the Flash button to select the desired mode. This function cannot be activated while recording videos or continuous shooting.

To activate Flash:

???Press the Flash/Right button on your camera repeatedly until your desired flash mode is displayed on the LCD

AUTO.

The flash fires automatically whenever the camera determines extra lighting is needed. This is the default mode of the camera.

Red-eye reduction.

The flash fires twice to help reduce the red-eye effect. The first flash strobe is designed to force the iris of the subject to reduce in size to compensate for the bright light, thus reducing the reflection (red eye effect) of the Eye retina. The second strobe is when the photo is taken.

Forced on.

The flash fires whenever you press the Shutter button regardless of lighting conditions. This may be useful in some bright backlight situations.

24

Slow sync.

This would be used to capture a dimly lit background while keeping the foreground (subject) properly lighted. This flash mode forces the camera to use a slower shutter speed in combination with the flash. The flash fires briefly to light the foreground (subject) while capturing ambient light to reveal more detail in the background. If Slow Sync flash is not used, the background may appear black or underexposed.

Forced off.

The flash is turned off and will not fire regardless of the lighting situation. In low light situations, the use of a tripod may be required to reduce photo blurring.

???Flash function is only available in shooting still images but not available in Burst and AEB modes.

???Do not try to change the ???ash while pressing the zoom button. Change the ???ash after releasing the zoom button if necessary.

Setting the Focus Mode

This function allows users to define the type focus when recording a still image or a video clip.

To set the Focus mode

???Press the Macro button repeatedly until the desired focus mode icon is displayed on the lower left corner of the LCD monitor.

Macro/left button

This camera supports the following four focus modes:

Normal.

With normal focus, the focus range starts from 0.4m (about 16 inches) to near infinity. When the camera is set to Normal mode, there is no icon displayed on the screen.

Macro.

This mode is designed for close-up photography. This mode should be used for subjects closer that are 0.4 m (or 16 inches) from the lens. If Macro is enabled, the camera can capture the detail and sharpness of a very close subject by fixed focus.

Macro enabled

25

Pan Focus.

This mode is designed to accurately focus on a desired subject so that closer and further objects are out of focus. For example, the camera might focus on a nearby tree, and the distant trees and mountains are blurry, as well as an even closer object such as a flower.

Infinity.

When Infinity is set, the camera focuses on distant objects. This may be good to use when taking landscape photos.

Using the Function Menu

The Function Menu is used to quickly adjust basic capture settings while in Photo and Video mode. In Photo mode, the Function menu displays the last 6 scene modes used as well as allow changes to be made in resolution and file compression quality settings, (EV compensation, Auto White Balance (AWB), ISO settings, Metering, and Color mode may be available for different scene modes).

26

The table below shows the Photo Size values for still images:

Quality

This allows the quality (compression) at which the photo is captured to be increased or decreased. The quality determines the amount of compression applied to the photos. Superfine setting results in a more detailed image. However, the higher the quality, the more memory space is required in memory.

EV Compensation

Images can be captured with the overall scene intentionally made brighter or darker. These settings are used when

a suitable brightness (exposure) cannot otherwise be obtained in circumstances where the difference in

brightness between the subject and the background (the contrast) is large, or when the subject that you wish to capture is very small within the scene. Available for still images only.

???To adjust EV settings, press the or keys to increase/decrease the value. As adjustments to the settings are

made, the LCD screen synchronously displays the image applying the EV settings. Press the OK button to save and apply changes.
