Hints
& Tips
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
In higher contrast situations,
conventional cameras aren’t able to
capture both dark shadows and bright
highlights at the same time. High
Dynamic Range mode captures these
by taking multiple exposures of the
same scene before combining them
back into one image in the camera.
This allows the camera to capture the
highlights, shadows, and everything
in between, closer to how the
photographer sees it.
Hints & Tips
Helping you to quickly get to grips with
your new camera and saving you time
spent reading the manual, Hints & Tips
provide quick explanations of most
menus and functions with their benefits.
Easy Mode
Easy mode provides the simplest
point and shoot mode for beginners.
In Easy mode, Smart Auto is active,
selecting the optimum settings for
best results across a wide range of
shooting scenes. Shooting information
displayed on the screen is minimised
so the user can concentrate on
picture-taking, while most of the
function buttons are disabled to
prevent accidental changes to settings.
High-speed Shooting
Capture the perfect moment
with high-speed shooting. Cameras
equipped with CMOS sensors can
shoot continuously as many pictures
as the card can store, with speeds
up to 8.8 shots per second, using
the High-speed Burst mode*.
Meanwhile cameras with a DIGIC 5
processor offer full resolution
high-speed shooting at up to 10.3
shots per second for 8 shots, using
the High-speed Burst HQ mode.
* High-speed Burst mode
outputs at reduced resolution.
Handheld Night Scene
With this mode it is possible to take
nightscape photos without having to
mount the camera on a tripod. In
Handheld Night Scene, the camera
will take a high speed sequence of
shots and then combine them into a
single image with the least possible
blur and the best possible exposure.
Live View Control
Live View Control allows beginners to
easily adjust the look and feel of their
photos by controlling three types of
picture settings – brightness, colour
and tone. These simple terms can be
easily understood and the effects
appear instantly on the LCD monitor,
allowing users to confirm in real time
how their settings will look before the
shot is taken.
