Program AE With Special Effects

1 Set the System Select Switch to “D.S.C.” or “VIDEO”, and set the Power Switch to “PRO.”.

2 Press P.AE repeatedly until the desired mode’s name and indication appear.

They are displayed for approx. 2 seconds, then the name disappears so that only the indication remains. The mode is activated.

3 To cancel the effect, press P.AE repeatedly until “OFF” appears. “OFF” is displayed for approx. 2 seconds.

NOTES:

●Only one mode can be engaged at a time.

●The screen becomes slightly reddish when the Fade/ Wipe (☞ pg. 28) is used in the Sepia mode.

●The screen becomes slightly dark in the High Speed Shutter mode. Use in well-lit situations.

●In the “High Speed Shutter” or “Sports” modes, picture color may be adversely affected if the subject is lit by alternating discharge-type light sources such as flourescent or mercury-vapor lights.

SEPIA

The scene being shot is recorded in sepia-tinted (reddish-brown) monochrome, giving the effect of an older movie. Use together with Wide (☞ pg. 31) for the authentic look of a classic Hollywood movie.

SPORTS

High shutter speed clearly captures fast-moving action.

ND:ND EFFECT

A black mist darkens the picture, as when an ND filter is used. Helps to counter the effects of glare on the subject.

FG:FOG

Makes the picture look misty white, as when an external fog filter is attached to the lens. Softens the image and gives it a “fantasy” look.

TWILIGHT

Dusk, twilight scenery, fireworks, etc., look more natural and dramatic. The following happens when Twilight mode is selected:

•Auto gain control is turned off.

•White Balance is set to “:FINE” (day mode), but can also be manually changed to another mode (☞ pg. 38).

•Auto Focus becomes available only in the range of 10 m (32 ft.) to infinity. To focus when the subject- to-camera distance is less than 10 m (32 ft.), use manual focusing (☞ pg. 37).

S1/2000 (1/2000 sec. High Speed Shutter)

Captures faster action than Sports mode.

NEGA POSI
