56 RESET - continued/ Camera Reset Use the procedure below to reset the settings specified on the top display panel. 1 Hold down the exposure compensation button “ h ” and aperture button “ g ” for 2 or more seconds. Functions reset from the camera Camera Reset • See P.
3 57 Focusing Modes • If the subject is dark, the auxiliary AF light automatically switches on when the shutter button is pressed halfway to illuminate the subject and enable auto focusing. The auxiliary AF light operates under the following conditions: 1.
58 • Set the focus mode selector switch to M and focus the camera by turning the focusing ring on the lens until the image can be seen clearly in the matt surface of the viewfinder screen. The shutter can be released regardless of whether the focus indicator “ ● ” lights.
3 59 ■ If you are using AF (auto focus) to focus the camera, use the focus lock feature when you are composing a picture in which your main subject (the object or person you are focusing on) is not inside the focusing frame. This technique can also be used to focus on subjects that are not suitable for auto focusing.
60 1 Set the exposure mode dial to “ z ”. • When you select z (AUTO mode), the following function statuses apply: Metering mode : Multi-pattern metering ( ☞ P.69) Flash : j Normal synchro mode ( ☞ P.74) • The program shift, exposure compensation and slow synchro functions cannot be selected.
Program Shift By turning the command dial during programmed auto mode photography, you can change the combination of shutter speed and aperture while maintaining the same exposure, providing operation that is equivalent to the shutter-priority auto and aperture- priority auto modes.
62 In this mode, the photographer sets the shutter speed (1/2000 to 30 sec.) and the camera automatically controls the aperture setting. This mode is best for photographs where the shutter speed is th.
63 3 1 Set the exposure mode dial to “A” and set the aperture setting (narrowest aperture to widest aperture) on the command dial. 2 Check that the focus indicator “ ● ” is lit and take the picture.
64 In this mode, the photographer can set any shutter speed (1/2000 to 30 sec.) and any aperture setting (narrowest aperture to widest aperture). This allows the photographer to determine the exposure to suit the conditions and the desired goals while watching the exposure indicator in the viewfinder.
65 3 3 Check that the focus indicator “ ● ” is lit and take the picture. • Lenses other than a Nikkor lens with a built-in CPU can only be used in this mode. However, the camera’s exposure meter cannot be used and the aperture cannot be set using the aperture button and command dial.
66 Set the exposure mode dial to the desired 5-vari program, check that the focus indicator “ ● ” is lit, and then take the picture. • If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the camera control range.
v : Close-up mode This mode uses exposure control with a wide aperture to give a relatively shallow depth of field so that you can take close-up shots in which your subject stands out clearly against a softly blurred background. Recommended lens: The most effective lenses for this mode are the Micro Nikkor lenses.
68 b : Sport mode (continuous shooting) This mode uses exposure control with a fast shutter speed setting to freeze your subject in a moment of rapid movement and allow you to take shots of sporting events that capture the feeling of fast-paced action.
69 3 In multi-pattern metering, the image is divided into 6 zones as shown in the figure above. Each of the 6 zones is measured independently and that information is then used to determine the optimum exposure. When a D-type AF lens is mounted on the camera, 3D 6-zone multi-pattern metering is used.
70 ■ AE lock allows you to set the exposure for a part of the image that you want to be correctly exposed, and then lock in that exposure setting when you take the picture.
71 3 Exposure Compensation • When you set the amount of compensation, the exposure compensation icon “ h ” appears on the top display panel and in the viewfinder display. Simply press the exposure compensation button to confirm the compensation amount.
72 ■ This mode is useful for shots such as commemorative pictures where the photographer also wants to be in the shot. Use a tripod or otherwise ensure that the camera is stable before using the self-timer. 1 Press the self-timer button “ ! ”. The “ ! ” icon appears on the top display panel.
73 3 • While you are looking through the viewfinder, slide the diopter adjustment knob to the position in which you see the focusing frame in the viewfinder most clearly. The setting can be adjusted between -1.5 and 1.0 dpt (near-sighted to far-sighted).
74 The built-in flash in the FinePix S1 Pro covers the field of view for a 28 mm lens and has a guide number of 15 (ISO 100 • m). The flash also features TTL- BL flash control that uses brightness i.
K : Red-eye reduction mode If you select red-eye reduction mode and then take a picture using the flash, the red-eye reduction lamp lights for about 1 second before the flash fires, thereby reducing the tendency for people’s eyes to appear red in pictures taken in low-light conditions.

77 3 3 Check that the Ready icon “ j ” is displayed in the viewfinder display and take the picture, taking care to stay within the flash control range ( ☞ P.74). • If the Ready icon “ j ” flashes for about 3 seconds after the shutter release, the flash fired at full power and the image may be underexposed.
78 A : Usable — : Not usable *1: If the exposure mode is set to Manual, simple TTL-BL flash control ( ☞ P.74) is used. *2: When the SB-21B is used, auto focus can only be used to take pictures when the AF micro lens (60, 105, 200 or 70-180 mm) is mounted on the camera.
79 3 ● The synchronized shutter speeds when using the flash are 1/125 sec. and slower. In TTL mode, the ISO sensitivity linked settings are ISO 320 or ISO 400. * When the sensitivity is set to ISO 800 or ISO 1600, the TTL flash control may not be performed correctly.

113 5 Notes on Using the FinePix S1 Pro ■ Places to Avoid Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations: ● Very humid, dirty or dusty places ● In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.
114 Cleaning the CCD ■ This camera is equipped with a CCD photosensitive element. This CCD is located behind the shutter screen. If dust or other soiling attaches to the surface of the CCD and pictures are then taken, this soiling may appear as spots in the image, depending on the camera settings and the type of subject.
4 Hold down both the self-timer button “ ! ” and the AE lock button “AE-L” and switch the camera on. 5 Press the shutter button. The mirror swings up and the shutter opens and remains open. 6 Hold the camera so that the light shines on the CCD and check the CCD surface.

117 5 Power Supply Notes • Use AA-size nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), AA-size Ni-Cd or AA-size alkaline batteries, CR123A lithium batteries and a CR2025 button cell with the FinePix S1 Pro. Do not use AA-size manganese or AA-size lithium batteries as these battery types emit heat that can cause camera faults or malfunctions.
118 ● Disposing of batteries Dispose of used batteries in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations. ● Notes on Using Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MH/Ni-Cd) • Charge AA-size Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries correctly using the Battery Charger (220V AC only, sold separately).
119 5 Notes on Media ■ SmartMedia SmartMedia are a new recording media developed specifically for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia card contains a semiconductor memory chip (NAND-type flash memory) which is used to record digital image data. Because the data is recorded electrically, recorded data can be erased and re-recorded.
120 Notes on Media - continued • Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser pocket.
