21 RECORDING IMAGES AUTOMA TICALL Y T ur n the exposure-mode dial to the auto-recording position (1); all camera operations are now fully automatic. The autofocus, exposure, and imaging systems will work together to bring beautiful results effortlessly .
22 B ASIC RECORDING Press the shutter -release button all the way down to take the picture. The example uses auto recor ding. Except for movie recor ding, the operation for other exposure modes is the same. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection is only available in the auto recor ding mode.
23 AUTOMA TIC DIGIT AL SUBJECT PROGRAM SELECTION Automatic Digital Program Selection chooses between program autoexposure and one of five digital subject programs. The digital subject programs optimize camera setting for various conditions and subjects.
B ASIC RECORDING 24 Focus lock prevents the AF system from focusing. This can be used with off-center subjects or when a special focusing situation pr events the camera fr om focusing (p. 25). Without lifting your finger from the shutter -release button, recompose the subject within the image area.
25 The focus signal in the lower right corner of the LCD monitor indicates the focus status. The shutter can be released even if the camera cannot focus on the subject. The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. If the autofocus system cannot focus on a subject, the focus signal will tur n red.
26 B ASIC RECORDING T o change the flash mode, simply press the flash mode button (1) until the appropriate mode is indicated. Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low- light and backlit conditions.
27 If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be safely hand held, the camera-shake warning appears on the LCD monitor . Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto position of the lens than at the wide-angle.
28 B ASIC RECORDING Pressing the information (i + ) button changes the monitor display . The display cycles among the standard display , real-time histogram, and live image only .
29 DIGIT AL SUBJECT PROGRAMS Sports action - used to capture action by maximizing shutter speeds. The AF system continuously focuses; see page 21. When using flash, the subject must be within the flash range (p. 27). A monopod is more flexible and compact than a tripod when shooting events.

34 A DVANCED RECORDING ADV ANCED RECORDING This section cover the advanced recording features of this camera. Read the basic recor ding section before moving on to this section. 3. Flash-mode indicator (p. 26 ) 7. White-balance indicator (p. 55 ) 8. Camera-sensitivity (ISO) display (p.
35 MACRO Approximate location of CCD plane Macro indicator Macro mode allows the camera to focus as close as 1 cm (0.4 in.) fr om the front of the lens or 8 cm (3.1 in.) from the CCD. The focus range changes with the zoom ‘s focal length, see below .
The photographer selects the aperture and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed to ensure the correct exposure. When aperture priority is selected, the apertur e value on the monitor turns blue and a double arrow indicator appears next to it. The flash mode can be set to fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, or slow sync.
The shutter speed and aperture control more than the exposure. The shutter speed determines how sharp a moving subject is. The aperture controls the depth of field; the area in front of the camera that appears sharp. For more on exposure controls, see the Short Guide to Photography on page 66.
Manual exposur e mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure. 38 A DVANCED RECORDING Use the up/down keys of the controller to change the shutter speed.
A message is displayed during the exposure. Noise-reduction processing is applied to the image after the exposure. Noise r eduction can be canceled in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 88). Time photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode. Exposures up to thirty seconds can be made.

56 A DVANCED RECORDING Custom white-balance allows the camera to be calibrated to a specific lighting condition. The setting can be used r epeatedly until reset. Custom white balance is especially useful with mixed-lighting or when critical control over color is needed.
57 FULL-TIME AF With full-time AF active, the autofocus systems continually focuses to keep the monitor image sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. When the camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. T ur ning the full-time AF function off can help conserve battery power .
58 A DVANCED RECORDING Flash compensation changes the ratio between the ambient and flash exposures. When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by direct sunlight, flash compensation changes the ratio between the highlights and shadows. The flash affects the darkness of the shadows without af fecting the ar ea illuminated by the sun.
59 The flash range is measured from the CCD. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.
60 A DVANCED RECORDING COLOR MODE The color mode controls whether a still image is color or black and white. This must be set before the image is recor ded. The color mode is set in section 3 of the P , A, S, and M menus and section 2 of the movie menu (p.
