LCD shows the remaining sets of pictures that can be taken. For instance, if the remaining
storage in your memory card allows you to take 40 individual pictures, the status LCD will display

pictures that can be taken in Burst mode. Burst pictures can be taken only at Half (1024 x 768)

Red-eye Reduction
Pre-flash is performed before the main flash to reduce the
red-eye; an effect caused by light reflected from the retina.
Used in low light conditions when photographing people
or animals. The pre-flashes contract the pupils of the
subject’s eyes.

Used to soften dark shadows on the face of the subject due
to back light, strong direct light or sunlight. The flash will
always be used regardless of the surrounding brightness.
Used when recording in a place where flash photography
is prohibited, or when utilizing the night view or indoor
lightning for recording. The flash will always be off during
recording.
To select a flash option, toggle the Flash button until you see its icon appear on the status LCD.
Using the Self-Timer (

Camera Settings
When taking pictures, you may simply use the default settings which have already been chosen
for use with your digital camera. But if you want to have more control over the quality of your
pictures and customize how you want to use your digital camera, you may adjust the various
camera settings to suit your needs.
Specifically, your digital camera allows you to do the following:
Select the desired camera sensitivity.
Adjusting exposure compensation.
Adjust the white balance when taking pictures under different lighting conditions.
Choose the desired quality and resolution for your pictures.
Control the use of the LCD monitor and power of your camera.
Specify basic settings such as language, date and time.
Enable the Self-Timer.
Camera settings can be accessed from the following three menus: Picture, Camera, and Setup
menus.The Capture (
), Sports (
) , and Burst (
) modes all share the same menus
and settings.
This section describes the camera settings underneath each of the three menus in detail. If you
are not familiar yet on how to access camera menus, refer to "Navigating through Menus" in the
"Getting Started" section for information on how to display menu screens and choose settings.
The Picture Menu (
)
If you want to improve picture results, go to the Picture Menu
and adjust its option settings. In this menu, you will modify the
following settings: ISO, Exposure Compensation, White Balance,
Picture Quality, Picture Resolution.
ISO (Sensitivity)
Three camera sensitivity settings can be selected : ISO 100, 200 and 400. The numeric values
are based on an ISO equivalent. ISO is the standard used to indicate film sensitivity, the higher
the number, the more sensitive the film, the more noise the image.
Exposure Compensation
Pictures may turn out underexposed if the subject is backlit (that is, the light source is behind the
subject) or when you are photographing under extremely bright lighting. To avoid having

digital camera
user’s manual
underexposed pictures, you can adjust the EV (Exposure Value) Compensation to control how
much light enters the digital camera when taking pictures. EV Compensation also helps prevent
having too light or too dark pictures.
EV Compensation can be adjusted over a range of -1.5 to +1.5 EV in steps of 0.3 EV. Here are
guidelines on how to choose an ideal exposure setting for your pictures:
a. If the ambient light is normal, a zero (0) value will automatically choose the correct exposure
for your pictures.
b. If the ambient light is too dark, increasing the value gives you better picture results.
c. If the ambient light is too light, decreasing the value gives you better picture results.
White Balance
White Balance allows you to obtain the highest color fidelity possible by taking into account the
lighting conditions under which your pictures are taken. Set the appropriate White Balance setting
to remove the color cast by the current lighting conditions.
Auto White Balance should work well under most normal lighting conditions. If Auto White Balance
does not produce the desired results, choose one of the other White Balance settings depending
on the ambient lighting conditions. For instance, selecting "Bulb" can minimize the orange color
cast by household light bulbs.
Specifically, the following are the White Balance settings that are available:
MODE
Auto
Lighting Conditions
Automatically chooses the best White Balance for given lightning condition
Outdoors daylight
Sun
Bulb
Incandescent lighting
Tube1
Tube2
Cool fluorescent lightning
Warm fluorescent lightning
Picture Resolution and Quality
The Resolution option allows you to choose a picture size (in number of pixels). There are two
types of resolution to choose from:
Full
2048 x 1536
1024 x 768
Half
The Quality option allows you to choose a compression setting for your pictures. Compression
is a way of encoding image data so as to minimize the picture's file size. Three compression
settings are available for selection:
28
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
High compression reduces the picture’s file size to the minimum
Moderate compression makes the file size small yet retains picture quality
Low compression preserves picture details and does not compress much data.
This results in a higher file size yet provides higher quality pictures.
This results in a higher file size yet provides higher quality pictures.
Both the resolution and compression settings affect the quality of your pictures. Preferably, select
a high resolution and low compression when pictures are intended for printing. If you will be
sharing pictures on the Web, you may choose a low resolution and a medium or high compression
to minimize the file size.
Note:
Burst pictures can be taken only at Half resolution and at Medium or Low quality. If these settings
are not chosen for your camera, the camera automatically sets itself to Half resolution and Medium
quality.
The Camera Menu (
)
In the Camera Menu, you can switch ON and OFF the
following camera features: LCD Monitor, Auto Review
of Pictures, Self-Timer.
LCD
For most people, it is easier and more convenient to use the LCD monitor when taking pictures.
Take note, though, that using the LCD monitor in extended periods of time eats up battery power
fast. To save battery power, occasionally, you can take pictures without the LCD monitor. Turn
OFF the LCD and use the optical viewfinder to center on the subject as you would with a traditional
camera.
Auto Review
The Auto Review feature allows a picture you have just
taken to be displayed on the LCD for a few seconds
before switching back to the live image. When Auto
Review is ON, it lets you immediately delete unwanted
pictures. (Refer to the section, "Taking Pictures", to know
more about deleting pictures just taken.)
By default, Auto Review is ON. If you prefer not to use
Auto Review, turn OFF this feature in the Camera Menu.
