Taking pictures/videos

Using Program mode

Program mode gives access to exposure compensation (how much light enters the camera), focus mode, and ISO. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture (f-stop) based on the scene lighting.

NOTE: Settings you change in P mode apply only to pictures taken in P mode. The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P mode—even when you change modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset Camera (see page 36) to reset P mode to its default settings.

Changing Program mode settings

1Tap the Capture Mode icon.

2Tap the P icon.

3To access the most popular settings (Flash, Self-timer/Burst, Exposure Compensation, AF Control, or Tag Options), turn on shortcuts (see page 9), then tap the desired setting. To access additional settings, tap Menu.

To access the camera Help system, see page 43.

Using exposure compensation to adjust brightness

In P and Panorama modes, you can adjust exposure compensation before you take a picture to make your pictures darker or lighter. (Only the first picture in Panorama mode can be adjusted—that adjustment is applied to the remaining pictures.)

1Tap Exposure Compensation to access the exposure compensation setting.

2Drag the slider (or tap the slider bar) to increase or decrease exposure compensation.

The scene in the LCD gets lighter or darker.

3Take the picture when you are satisfied with the exposure compensation level.
