Taking Photos in Manual Mode

If you are an advanced photographer, you may want to use manual mode. This allows you to select the quality (resolution), white balance, light sensitivity (ISO Speed), and exposure compensation. You can also select special scene modes for portraits, landscapes, or night photos.

Before you start, make sure the batteries are installed and the camera is turned on, as described on page 12.

1Turn the Mode dial to manual.

2If you want to adjust the resolution or other settings, press the MENU button. See page 22 for a list of available settings or see the Reference Guide.

3Make sure you are at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from your subject.

Note:

To turn on digital zoom, see the Reference Guide.

To zoom in on your subject, press the T (telephoto) button. To zoom in more, release the button and press it again.

To zoom out, press the W (wide-angle) button. To zoom out more, release the button and press it again.
