Notes  
The LCD on the digital camera is manufactured with sophisticated technology.  
However, the display may have some light spots or show unusual colors. This is  
normal and does not indicate display malfunction, and will not affect the pictures  
you take with the camera.  
The AF assist lamp is used to illuminate the focus subject in low light situations  
where other camera’s autofocus will likely have failed.

USING THE DC S30  
This chapter describes the camera operating modes, and explains how to take pictures, make  
movies, and listen to audio such as MP3 files or FM radio.  
3.1 Capture Mode  
Auto capture mode enables you to take pictures and allow the camera to set camera functions  
such as the white balance and focus automatically. Manual mode enables you to make more  
precise settings to accommodate different shooting conditions.  
3.1.1 Composing Pictures  
Your camera provides three capture mode options: single image capturing, continuous image  
capturing, and self-timer capturing. It is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.5-  
inch full color LTPS LCD monitor to compose images. Taking images using the optical  
viewfinder conserves battery power. Using the LCD monitor helps you accurately compose  
pictures and examine all details. However, the LCD consumes more battery power.  
1. Turn the camera on by pressing the POWER button.  
2. Set the mode dial to Auto  
or Manual mode  
.
3. Compose your shot in the viewfinder.  
4. Press the shutter button down halfway to enable the autofocus  
to get a clear image, and then press it down fully to capture the  
image.

Notes  
The image in the LCD monitor darkens in strong sunlight or bright light. This is not a  
malfunction.  
Using the LCD monitor for an extended period of time uses battery power and there-  
fore decreases the number of images you can take. To conserve battery power, it is rec-  
ommended to turn the LCD monitor off and use the viewfinder instead.

The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions.  
Select this mode for general photography. The flash emits a precursor-flash  
before the main flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human eyes to  
contract, reducing the red-eye phenomenon. Select this mode when taking  
images of people and animals in low-light conditions.  
Red-Eye  
Reduction  
The flash fires regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select this mode to  
record images with high contrast (back lighting) and deep shadows.  
Forced Flash  
Flash Off  
The flash does not fire.Select this mode when taking images in a place where  
flash photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond  
the effective range of the flash.

Notes  
When shooting a close-up in Macro mode, use the LCD monitor to compose your  
shot, avoiding the off-center parallax phenomenon.  
There is not a distinct point (subject range) at which Normal mode is favored over  
Macro mode; take an image in both optical modes and compare the results to decide  
which mode is optimal in any given situation.  
After a Macro shot is taken DO NOT FORGET to reset the lens to the normal posi-  
tion.
