New Exposure Controls and Dials
The CAMEDIA E-10 Zoom SLR offers professional 35mm SLR-
like one-touch buttons and dials, which can be used as an
alternative means to change program modes rather than navi-
gate through layers of LCD menu commands. The E-10’s dedi-
cated buttons control shooting modes such as flash, white bal-
ance and media card settings. Aperture and shutter controls
are also set by using these ergonomic dials, enabling on-the-
fly adjustments for a wide range of commonly used features
and settings.
The exposure control on the CAMEDIA E-10 Zoom SLR is very
extensive and provides an abundance of modes and options
such as Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual exposure modes. Apertures can be manually or automatically
controlled in 1/3 steps from f/2.0 to f/11.0, depending on the zoom setting. In Manual mode, shutter speed ranges range from
eight to 1/640 seconds, with a Bulb setting for even longer exposures (up to 30 seconds maximum). The shutter speed range
changes slightly in Automatic exposure modes, varying from two to 1/640 seconds. The 1/640 second shutter speed is adequate
for stopping action in all but the most critical of speed circumstances. In-fact most professional NFL and NBA pro photographers,
in most circumstances shoot at 1/500 of a second for stopping action.
The CAMEDIA E-10 Zoom SLR also has an exposure compensation adjustment that offers a wide range of adjustments from
-3 to +3 EV in 1/3 EV increments. The CAMEDIA E-10 SLR’s metering system can be set to Digital ESP (a matrix-multi-patterned
metering system), 1.6 degree Spot, or Center-weighted, depending on the type of subject and the desired exposure effect. The
ISO setting is also manually adjustable, with options of Auto, 80, 160, or 320 sensitivity equivalents. An AE Lock button on the
back panel allows users to lock the exposure reading for a specific part of the subject independently of the shutter release,
providing flexibility with the exposure.
The Advantages of TruePic™ Technology Now
and in the Future
The CAMEDIA E-10 SLR like its predecessor, the C-2500L uti-
lizes a unique feature called TruePic™ Technology which is an
advanced algorithm that is embedded in the CAMEDIA E-10
Zoom SLR’s ASICS (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) chip.
It provides two very distinct functions in post image processing
using all the pixel information.
