ÒProcessingÓ

Processing disappears, the image has been recorded.

•To eliminate the effects of vibration, use of a tripod is recommended.

Shooting techniques

When shooting a moving person, car, or spindrift, etc., using the high shutter speed, you can express moment that is beyond what the human eye can see.

When shooting a subject such as the ßow of a river at a slower shutter speed, you can create an image that captures the subjectÕs ßowing movement. In such cases, use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake.

•When you hand-hold the camera, adjust the shutter speed in a range where (Vibration warning indicator) is not indicated.

Shooting with aperture priority mode

You can adjust the amount of light that passes through the lens. If you open the aperture (a smaller F-number), the amount of light allowed into the lens increases and the in-focus range becomes narrower. Only the main subject is then in focus. When the aperture is closed (a larger F-number), the amount of light decreases and the in-focus range becomes wider. The whole image is sharpened.

The shutter speed is automatically adjusted to obtain correct exposure according to the brightness of the subject.
