Using the Camera

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 Stabilizer
Located beside the Shutter button, the Stabilizer uses a higher ISO value to avoid image blur
caused by hand shake and/or subject movement.
• If the result is still blur in a low-light environment, please also select the Shake-Free
scene mode to improve the result.
• The higher the ISO value, the grainer you might see in the image.
3.7.12 Setting Face tracking
Focuses on the people in your composition by automatically detecting and tracking human
faces.
1. Turn the power on, and then press MENU.
2. Locate the Face Tracking mode and turn it on.
3. Point the camera to where the people (your subjects) are located. Focus frames of Face
Tracking will automatically detect faces (maximum 9) and show on the LCD screen.
4. Press the shutter to capture the image.
• Due to environmental factors such as lighting, the number of detected faces might be dif-
ferent from that of the actual faces.
• To achieve the best result, ask your subjects not to turn their faces partially away from the
lens.
3.7.13 Setting Photo Frame
You can add 10 kinds of frames to still images, making them more interesting.
3.7.14 Setting AF lamp
The AF Lamp function allows you to record images in low light conditions.
3.7.15 Setting Av/Tv/M
Pressing the Tv/Av/M button
toggles among Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and
Manual 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.
