BASIC IMAGE RECORDING BASIC IMAGE RECORDING This section describes the basic procedure for recording an image. Recording an Image Specifying the Recording Mode Your CASIO digital camera has eight recording modes, each of which is described below. Before recording an image, use the mode dial to select the recording mode that suits the type of image you are trying to record. Mode dial Snapshot mode BEST SHOT mode Manual Exposure mode Voice Recording mode Past Movie mode Short Movie mode MOVIE BEST SHOT mode Movie mode • (Snapshot mode) Use this mode to record still images. This is the mode you should normally use for image recording. • (BEST SHOT mode) This mode makes camera setup as easy as selecting the applicable sample scene. Select one of the BEST SHOT scenes and the camera automatically configures itself with the setup for that scene (page 93). • (Manual Exposure mode) This mode gives you total control over aperture and shutter speed settings (page 87). • (Voice Recording mode) Use this mode to record audio only (page 115). • (Past Movie mode) Pressing the shutter button starts recording from five seconds prior to the point the button is pressed. Use this mode when you want to make sure you do not miss fastmoving action (page 108). • (Short Movie mode) Each press of the shutter button in this mode records a short movie that starts before the button is pressed and ends after the button is pressed (page 106). 52
