Optional: In very dark environments, you can increase the sensitivity of the cameras CCD by selecting a higher ISO value. This is usually recommended only if an acceptably bright image cannot otherwise be achieved, since the higher ISO value will result in a grainier (less smooth) image. You can manually set the ISO by holding the “ISO” button on the back of the camera and dialing different settings with the common dial.

For Outdoor or Bright lighting conditions:

Set the camera to Program (“P”) mode. You can set the camera to Program mode by holding down the mode button, the rotating the Common dial until the letter “P” is seen on the lower left hand corner of both LCD screens.

Optional Menu Settings

By pressing the "MENU" button just above the color LCD screen, you will have access to a few more settings you may find useful. While in these menus, use the Multi selector button to scroll up and down and to make your selection:

Under fluorescent lights, the final image sometimes has a bluish tinge. Consider using the “fluorescent” white balance setting for a warmer-looking indoor picture.

Set the Sharpness value to "High".

Matrix Metering (the default) gives the best results for OneShot360 images

Under the "SET UP" sub-menu, you may want to change the "AUTO OFF" setting to a longer time period such as 5 minutes. Although this feature helps to save battery life, the default value (30 seconds) may not be enough time to set up for a OneShot360 image, at least until you are more familiar with the process.

Also under the "SET UP" sub-menu, there is an option called "CONTROLS" which leads to another sub-menu. You may want to check the first three options in this sub-menu. This will maintain your flash, mode (aperture priority) and focus settings even if you turn the camera on and off between shots. However, you will still have to place the camera in manual focus mode every time you want to use the timer for a shot (because the timer switches off after every shot, and pressing the timer/M-focus button to re-enable the timer switches the camera back in to auto-focus mode).
