Capturing Images

There are several factors that should be considered when captur- ing quality images. Proper positioning, distance, lighting, even hold- ing the camera in just the right way can make all of the difference when capturing quality images.

To capture an image:

1.Power on the camera and ensure that you are in Camera mode (Green LED) by pressing the Mode button.

2.Set the Iris Selector based on the lighting conditions surrounding the subject.

Use the(F8.0) setting for brightly lit subjects or for close range shots. This setting reduces the exposure of light.

Use the(F2.8) setting for indoor, backlit images, or long range shots. This setting increases the exposure of light.

3.From the LCD Menu, select the White Balance and Quality as described earlier in this chapter.

4.Position the subject in the viewfinder or the LCD (if activated).

5.Gently press the Shutter button, holding the camera steady to obtain a crisp image.

Note: If the memory full indicator is lit when set on high or standard quality it may be possible to capture one or two more economic quality images; because economic quality images take up less memory than high or standard quality images.

Note: When using the flash on an object at or closer than 1.2 meters

(4 feet), set the Iris Selector to the setting. However, if the object

is further than 1.2 meters (4 feet) set the Iris Selector to the setting.

Processing

When the camera is in Camera Mode and the Shutter button has been pressed, the green/orange LED Indicator will flash on and off and a processing bar will be displayed on the LCD screen (if powered on) until the camera is ready to capture another image.
