Shooting Using Exposure Modes, Auto, Picture | FujiFilm FinePix S1

Shooting Using Exposure Modes

z: AUTO

This exposure mode is the easiest to use for taking pictures since the photographer can leave the exposure settings to the camera. This exposure mode is recommended for people using an SLR camera for the first time.

See P.80 for information on using this mode with other functions.

1 Set the exposure mode dial to “z”.

•When you select z (AUTO mode), the following function statuses apply: Metering mode : Multi-pattern metering (☞ P.69)

Flash

: j Normal synchro mode (☞ P.74)

•The program shift, exposure compensation and slow synchro functions cannot be selected.

2	Check that the focus indicator “●” is lit and take the
	picture.

• If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the camera control range.

• Ú : Use an ND (light volume adjustment) filter.

• Û : Use the flash.

✎ Important

Differences between AUTO and Programmed auto

Both modes use the same exposure control method, but the programmed auto mode allows greater flexibility in the photography settings since program shift (☞ P.61), exposure compensation (☞ P.71) and slow synchro (☞ P.75) can also be set.
