INTRODUCTION

•Auto Macro (pages 84, 86)

Auto Macro automatically switches to the macro mode when the distance between the camera and subject it shorter than the Auto Focus range.

•Quick Shutter (page 84)

When you press the shutter button all the way down without pausing, the camera immediately records the image without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed. This helps to avoid missing a special moment while you wait for the camera to Auto Focus.

•Auto Focus Area Selection (page 85)

When “ Multi” is selected for the Auto Focus area, the camera takes simultaneous meter readings at nine different points and automatically selects the best one.

•Three continuous shutter modes (page 95)

In addition to normal-speed continuous shutter, you can also select high-speed continuous shutter or flash continuous shutter.

•BEST SHOT (page 97)

Simply select one of a collection of built-in sample scenes and the camera sets up for the scene you selected. It’s the simple way to set up for beautiful snapshots quickly and easily. New BEST SHOT sample scenes include setups for High Sensitivity and Anti Shake. A [BS] (BEST SHOT) button provides direct access to BEST SHOT sample scenes.

•Business Shot (page 105)

Business Shot automatically corrects rectangular shapes when recording the image of a business card, document, whiteboard, or similar subjects from an angle.

•Restoring an Old Photograph (page 107)

You can use the procedure in this section to restore an old, faded photograph with the color provided by modern digital camera technology.

•Audio Snapshot mode (page 114)

Use this mode to record snapshots that also include audio.

•Voice Recording (page 115)

•Real-time RGB histogram (page 117)

•Keystone Correction (page 138)

A simple operation corrects for keystoning, which occurs when you record the image of a blackboard or poster from an angle.
