STILL PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

Use this function for shots where you cannot obtain the optimum brightness (exposure), such as

shots with extremely high contrast between the subject and the background.

Exposure compensation can be set in the NProgrammed Auto, MShutter-priority Auto and <

Aperture-priority Auto photography modes.

You can change the display panel by pressing “d” or “c”.

2DExposure Compensation

the “R” or “T” button.

hCompensation range

–2 EV to +2 EV (13 steps in 1/3 EV increments)

●

Exposure compensation cannot be used in the “B”, “?”

or “>” modes.

●

Exposure compensation is disabled in the following

situations:

When “d” (Forced Flash) or “b” (Red-Eye Reduction) mode

is used and the scene photographed is dark.

P.39

This setting is retained when the mode is switched

or the camera is switched off (the “D” is displayed).

Set the exposure compensation to “0” unless

compensation is required.

1Set the Power switch to “q”.

2Set the Mode dial to Still Photography mode.

3Press the Flash pop-up button to pop-up the flash.

hEffective flash range (B)

Wide-angle: Approx. 0.3 m to 4.2 m

(1.0 ft. to 13.8 ft.)

(Approx. 0.3 m to 0.6 m (1.0 ft. to 2.0

ft.): Macro)

Telephoto: Approx. 0.6 m to 2.6 m

(2.0 ft. to 8.5 ft.)

●

The flash charging time may increase if the charge remaining

in the battery is low.

●

When the flash is popped up or is being used for taking

pictures, the screen may go dark due to flash charging. When

this happens, the viewfinder lamp blinks orange.

The available flash modes are limited depending on

the photography mode selected (➡P.37).

4The setting changes each time you press the “W”

button and the last flash setting displayed is

selected.

●

If you use the flash in very dusty conditions or when it is

snowing, white dots may appear in the image due to the flash

reflecting off the dust particles or snowflakes. Try taking the

shot using Suppressed Flash mode.

◆Suppressed Flash ◆

Pressing the flash down switches the camera to

Suppressed Flash mode.

Use this mode for photography using indoor lighting,

for shots taken through glass, and for photography in

venues such as theaters or at indoor sporting events

where the distance is too great for the flash to be

effective. In this situation, the white balance function

(➡P.102) operates automatically, allowing you to

take photos with natural colors that accurately

capture the effects of the ambient light.

●

If you are shooting in Suppressed Flash mode in dark conditions, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

●

See P.24, 96 for information on the camera shake warning.

STILL PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

You can choose from 5 flash modes according to the type of shot.

◆Getting the correct brightness ◆

To obtain the optimal image brightness, adjust the amount of exposure correction according to the

brightness or darkness of the photographed image.

hWhen the subject is too light

Try using a – (negative) correction setting.

The picture is taken so that the entire image is

darker.

hWhen the subject is too dark

Try using a + (positive) correction setting.

The picture is taken so that the entire image is

brighter.
