(1) FLASH:
The camera is equipped with five flash modes:
ON: the flash will fire with every image capture.
ON-R: the same as ON, preceded by a flash which reduces red-
eye.
AUTO: whenever there is insufficient light, the camera
automatically detects and fires the flash.
AUTO-R: the same as AUTO, preceded by a flash which
reduces red-eye.
OFF: no flash is fired.
Note: The flash will need to be charged prior to, and right after being
used. The flash icon will blink in the Segment LCD Display Panel and
stops once the flash is ready for use.
(2) QUALITY:
Quality determines the file size and the effect of the captured
image that is displayed or printed and is based on the amount of
compression. High quality images appear sharp since the camera is
not compressing the information as much, but also require more
space for storage.
There are three quality modes, and one Video mode:
•
Economic- 48 KB of memory space per image.
•
Standard- 128 KB of memory space per image.
•
High-
320 KB of memory space per image.
•
Video-
320 KB when Video Recording has been
selected.
(3) Self-timer:
This feature allows you to delay the capturing of an image for ten
seconds giving you time to get into some of your own pictures.
To activate this function:
1. Select Self-timer from the LCD menu.
2. Position the camera on a flat stationary surface or mount it on a
tripod.
3. Center the image to be captured using the viewfinder or LCD.
4. Press the Shutter button and get in the picture.
How will I know when the image will be captured?
The LED indicator at the front of the camera blinks, increasing in
speed to alert you when the image will be captured.
(4) Exposure Mode:
Exposure Mode allows you to select the type of exposure used to
capture the image:
CENTER: Focuses the quality of exposure on the center of the
image (great for photos of people).
MATRIX: Evenly focuses the exposure to all areas of the image
(great for landscape shots).
(5) White Balance:
White Balance adjusts the camera's color sensitivity to match the
prevailing color of white outdoor light, yellow indoor light, or (some-
times) greenish fluorescent light. The camera is equipped with four
white balance modes. Select the white balance mode that most closely
matches the light in which you're using the camera.
Auto: automatically adjusts according to surrounding light (default)
Outdoor: for natural light
: for fluorescent lighting
Indoor -: for incandescent lighting (bulb light)
