OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Using the Macro Mode

The Macro mode lets you focus automatically on close up

subjects. The automatic focus operation starts when you

lamp. The indications of the focus frame and green

operation lamp are the same as those in the Auto

Focus mode.

IMPORTANT!

•In the Macro mode, the optical zoom range is 1x to

1.8x.

Using the Pan Focus Mode

Normally, your camera performs Auto Focus to ensure that

your images are always in focus. With Pan Focus, focus is

fixed for a specific focal distance, and images are recorded

without Auto Focus. The focus range depends on the zoom

setting, the amount of light available when recording, and

other recording conditions.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

indicator shows “PF”.

Press the shutter release button all the way

down.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Exposure Compensation (EV Shift)

Exposure compensation lets you change the exposure

setting (EV value) manually to adjust for the lighting of your

subject. This feature helps to achieve better results when

recording a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, or

a subject that is against a dark background.

EV Shift Range: –2.0EV to +2.0EV

Steps: 1/3EV

In the REC mode, press [MENU].

Select the “REC”tab,

select “EV Shift”, and

then press [왘].

Exposure compensation

value

Use [왖] and [왔] to

change the exposure

compensation value,

and then press [SET].

•Pressing [SET] registers

the displayed value.

Up : Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best

used for light-colored subjects and backlight

subjects.

Down : Decreases the EV value. A lower EV value is best

for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors

on a clear day.

EV value

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

•To cancel EV Shift, adjust the value until it becomes

0.0.

Record the image.

IMPORTANT!

•When shooting under very dark or very bright

conditions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory

results even after performing exposure

compensation.

NOTES

•Performing an EV shift operation causes the

metering mode to switch automatically to center

weighted metering. Returning the EV shift value to

0.0 causes the metering mode to change back to

multi-pattern metering.

•You can use key customization (page 85) to

configure the camera to perform exposure

compensation whenever you press [왗] or [왘] while in

the REC mode.

Adjusting 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, so

the colors of an image appear more natural.

In the REC mode, press [MENU].

Select the “REC”tab,

select “White

Balance”, and then

press [왘].

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Use [왖] and [왔] to select the setting you

want, and then press [SET].

NOTES

•Selecting “Manual”changes white balance to the

settings achieved the last time a manual white

balance operation was performed.

•You can use the key customization feature (page 85)

to configure the camera so the white balance setting

changes whenever you press [왗] or [왘] while in the

REC mode.

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 “Adjusting White Balance

Manually”.)

Select this setting:

Auto

Manual

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

limited. 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 the REC mode, press [MENU].

Select the “REC”tab, select “White Balance”,

and then press [왘].

Use [왖] and [왔] to

select “Manual”.

•This causes the object

you last used to adjust

manual white balance to

appear on the monitor

screen.

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 starts the white balance adjustment procedure.

The message “Complete”appears on the monitor

screen after white balance adjustment is complete.

•Dim lighting or pointing the camera at a dark colored

object while performing manual white balance

adjustment can cause the procedure to take a long

time to complete.

Press [SET].

•This registers the white balance settings and returns

to the REC mode.

Using the BESTSHOT Mode

Selecting one of the 21 BESTSHOT scenes automatically

sets up the camera for recording a similar type of image.
