60 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Orientation Sensor The camera has an orientation sensor that detects whether the camera is being held horizontally (its normal orientation) or vertically when you record an image. Information about camera orientation is recorded along with the image data so the image can be displayed properly.
61 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 60 ° 60 ° — Miss-operation of the orientation sensor can also occur if the camera is angled towards the front or back. A sensor error may occur if the camera is angled more than about 60 degrees towards the front or back. — Note that the orientation sensor does not operate in the Movie mode.
62 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Using Zoom Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical zoom and digital zoom. Optical Zoom The range of the optical zoom factor is shown below. Optical Zoom Factor Range: 1X to 4X 1. In the REC mode, shift the zoom controller to change the zoom factor.
63 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 5. Slide the zoom controller towards (Telephoto)/ to change the zoom factor. • When zoom reaches maximum optical zoom, it stops momentarily. Keep the zoom controller pressed to the (Telephoto)/ side and zoom will switch over to digital zoom automatically.
64 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Using the Flash Perform the following steps to select the flash mode you want to use. 1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Press [ ] to select the flash mode. • Each press of [ ] cycles through the flash mode settings shown below on the monitor screen.
