The control panel and LCD monitor show the number of expo- sures remaining at the current image quality setting.

Number of exposures remaining

When this number reaches zero, you will need to insert a new memory card or delete items already in memory before you will be able to take more photographs. It may be possible to record more photographs at a different image quality setting.

First Steps: Taking Your First Photograph

Step 4—Adjust camera settings

In automatic mode, the user can adjust flash, focus, exposure compensation, and image quality and size. The default settings, which produce the best results in most circumstances, are auto- matic flash, autofocus, no exposure compensation, an image quality of “normal,” and an image size of “full” (1,600 1,200 pixels).

These settings allow the camera to set focus automatically at any distance greater than 30cm (one foot). The camera measures the available light and adjusts shutter speed and aperture accordingly, firing the flash to provide additional light as necessary.

Step 5—Compose a photograph

Information on composing photographs may be found on pages 2– 4 of the Pocket Guide.
