3.1.5 Using the Flash
The flash is designed to function automatically when lighting conditions warrant it. You can
record an image using the Flash mode suitable for your circumstances. If you change the
Flash mode, the camera will retain that setting even if the camera is turned off.
Set the mode dial to Still Image mode
and press the
button repeatedly to toggle
through the various Flash modes. See 6.“Flash” on page 4 for more information about the
flash modes.
3.1.6 Changing the Focus
Use the macro button
to take close-up shots in the Still Image mode
or Movie mode
. See 8.“Macro” on page 4 for more information.
3.1.7 Setting the Capture Mode
The DC C51 provides three modes to capture a digital still image. Press the self-timer button
to set the capture mode in Still Image mode
or Movie mode
. See 7.“Timer” on
page 4 for more information.
Note
After the flash fires, it takes approximately 5 to 10 seconds to be ready for the next
shot.
Notes
•
When shooting a close-up in Macro mode, use the LCD monitor to compose your
shot, to avoid the off-center parallax phenomenon.
•
There is not a distinct point (subject range) at which Normal mode is favored over
Macro mode; take an image in both optical modes and compare the results to
decide which mode is optimal in any given situation.
•
After a Macro shot is taken DO NOT FORGET to reset the lens to the normal posi-
tion.
Notes
•
Use self-timer mode when you want to be included in the shot.
•
Use a tripod for best results.
