3.7.10 Setting the date stamp
The Date Stamp function can be used to add a date to your pictures as you take them.
3.7.11 Setting S.S.F.
With more sensibility and faster shutter speed to brighten up the pictures, effectively
preventing blurred images caused by hand shaking or target movement, one can take good
pictures with little effort.
• Turn on S.S.F. from the menu in the capture mode.
• S.S.F. is not available in the Aperture Priority / Shutter Priority / Manual / Fireworks / Night
Scene / Movie / Voice Rec. shooting modes.
3.7.12 Setting face tracking
1. Turn on
[Face Tracking]
from the menu in the capture mode.
2. Aim the lens at the subject(s). One or several white frames show on the screen focusing
on the subjects, depending on the number of subjects detected by the camera (max. 8
faces).
3. Press the shutter halfway to set automatic focus.
4. Wait until the frames turn green, and press the shutter down.
• When face tracking is enabled, only normal and macro AF ranges are available. Pan
Focus and infinite focus range will automatically be set to normal when face tracking is
enabled.
3.7.13 Setting photo frame
You can add 10 kinds of frames to still images, making them more interesting.
3.7.14 Setting Av/Tv/M
Pressing the Av/Tv/M button
toggles between the current shooting mode, Aperture
priority (Av or A), Shutter priority (Tv or S), and Manual (M) when determining the
exposure value.
•
Aperture priority: You can choose an aperture value, while the shutter speed is
automatically determined by the lighting condition of the subject. Aperture priority is
often used when shooting static subjects or emphasizing the depth of field. In general,
use a smaller aperture if a greater depth of field is needed.
•
Shutter priority: You can choose a shutter speed, while the aperture value is
automatically determined by the lighting condition of the subject. Shutter priority is
often used when shooting moving subjects. In general, use a shorter shutter speed to
catch a fast-moving object.
•
Manual: You can set both the shutter speed and the aperture value.
• When toggling between Av/Tv, press the shutter halfway for exposure metering.
