Getting to know your camera better Misalignment of panoramic pictures • Panning along the camera central axis reduces picture misalignment. When you shoot close subjects, panning along the axis of the tip of the lens gives good results. • In [COMBINE IN CAMERA1] mode, the camera automatically detects its own position except for the following cases (In such cases, use [COMBINE IN CAMERA 2] or [COMBINE IN PC].): • when panning the camera in a quick or unsteadily manner. • when shooting a low contrast subject (blue sky, etc.). • when shooting a moving subject framed in full screen. • when panning the camera with no images on-screen. Taking pictures of a subject against backlight • When [SHADOW ADJ. ON] is selected, the subject's face appears brighter even against backlight and the color of the background is enhanced in the picture. This function can also be used to shoot a subject inside a home or building from outside. g "f Brightening the subject against backlight" (P. 17) • With [ESP/n] set to [n], the picture can be taken based on the brightness at the center of the monitor without being affected by the light in the background. g "ESP/n Changing the area for measuring the brightness of a subject" (P. 26) • Set the flash to [#] to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against backlight without the face of the subject appearing dark. [#] is effective for shooting against backlight and under fluorescent and other artificial lighting. g "3# button Flash shooting" (P. 16) • Selecting a [+] exposure value with 1F, is useful in shooting a subject against backlight. g "1F button Changing picture brightness (Exposure compensation)" (P. 16) • When [AF MODE] is set to [FACE DETECT], the camera determines the exposure by metering a face and the face in the picture taken will appear brighter even in backlight conditions. g "AF MODE Changing the focusing area" (P. 27) Additional shooting tips and information Increasing the number of pictures that can be taken There are two ways to record the pictures you take with this camera. Recording pictures to the internal memory • Pictures are recorded to the internal memory, and when the number of storable still pictures reaches 0, you must connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures, and then erase the pictures from the internal memory. Using a card (optional) • Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is full, you can download the pictures to a computer, and then either erase the pictures from the card or use a new card. • Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the camera. Pictures in the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function. g "BACKUP Copying pictures in the internal memory to the card" (P. 34) "The card" (P. 66) 56 EN
