Using shooting settings (scene files)

Settings according to a variety of shooting conditions are stored in the positions on the <SCENE FILE> dial (<F1> to <F6>).

When shooting, you can use the <SCENE FILE> dial to immediately read out required files.

••The following files are stored as factory settings.

<F1>: [SCENE]

File suitable for normal shooting.

<F2>: [SCENE FLUO.]

File suitable for shooting under fluorescent lights (indoor shooting).

<F3>: [SCENE SPARK]

File suitable for shooting with fuller variations of resolution, coloring, and contrast.

<F4>: [SCENE B-STR]

File suitable for broadening the contrast of dark areas (such as shooting sunsets).

<F5>: [SCENE CINE V]

File suitable for shooting movie-like scenes where contrast is emphasized. (Even when the scene file is changed, the recording format is unchanged. It must be set with the [REC FORMAT] item on the [RECORDING SETUP] screen. See page 89.)

<F6>: [SCENE CINE D]
