Creative Shooting
In the Basic Zone modes, to prevent spoiled shots, 
most functions are set automatically and cannot be 
changed. In the < d> (Program AE) mode, you can set 
various functions and be more creative.
  In the < d> mode, the camera sets the shutter speed and 
aperture automatically to obtain a standard exposure.
  The difference between the Basic Zone modes and < d> is 
explained on page 310.
  The functions explained in this chapter can also be used in 
the < s>, < f >, and < a> modes explained in Chapter 
4.
  The  M mark shown on the right of the page title indicates 
that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes 
(p.24).
*< d> stands for Program.
* AE  stands for Auto Exposure.

  Change the ISO speed or use the built-in flash.
To match the subject and ambient li ghting level, you can change the 
ISO speed (p.90) or use the bu ilt-in flash (p.104). In the  mode, 
the built-in flash will not fire auto matically. So under low light, press 
the < I> (flash) button to raise the built-in flash.
  The program can be shifted. (Program shift)
After pressing the shutter button halfway, turn the < 6> dial to 
change the shutter speed and aper ture setting combination 
(program). Program shift is cancel ed automatically after the picture 
is taken. Program shift is not possible with flash.
Shooting Tips
  If the “ 30” shutter speed and the maximum aperture 
blink, it indicates undere xposure. Increase the ISO 
speed or use flash.
  If the “ 4000” shutter speed and the minimum aperture 
blink, it indicates overex posure. Decrease the ISO 
speed.
Differences Between < d> and < A> (Scene Intelligent Auto)In the  mode, many functions  such the AF operation and built-in flash 
are set automatically to  prevent spoiled shots. The functions you can 
change are limited. Whereas with < d> mode, only the shutter speed and 
aperture are set automatically. You can fr eely set the AF operation, built-in 
flash, and other functions (p.310).

3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
 I want to select the image-reco rding quality matching the paper 
size for printing. Refer to the diagram on the left when 
choosing the image-recording quality. If 
you want to crop the image, selecting a 
higher quality (more pixels) such as 73 , 
83 , 1 +73 , or 1  is recommended.
b  is suitable for playing the images on a 
digital photo frame.  c is suitable for 
emailing the image or using it on a Web 
site.
  What’s the difference between 
7 and 8?
It indicates a different image quality due to a different compression 
rate. Even with the same number of pixels, the 
7 image has higher 
image quality. If 8 is selected, the image quality will be slightly lower, 
but more images can be sa ved to the card. Both b and c have  7 
(Fine) quality.
  I was able to take more shots th an the number of possible shots 
indicated.
Depending on the shooting conditions, you may be able to take 
more shots than was indicated. It may also be fewer than indicated. 
The number of possible shots displayed is only approximate.
  Does the camera display the maximum burst?
The maximum burst is displayed in  the viewfinder’s right side. Since 
it is only a single-digit indicator  0 - 9, any number higher than 9 will 
be displayed only as “ 9”. Note that this number will also be displayed 
even when no card is installed in the camera. Be careful not to shoot 
without a card in the camera.
  When should I use 
1?
1 images require processing with  your computer. For details, see 
“About 1 ” and “About  1+73 ” on the next page.

1 is the raw image data before it is made into  73 or other images. 
Although 1  images require software such as Digital Photo 
Professional (provided, p.350) so t hat they can be displayed on the 
computer, they also offer flexibility for image adjustments possible only 
with  1. 1  is effective when you want to precisely adjust the image 
yourself or shoot an important subject.
1 +73  records both a  1 and  73 image with a single shot. The 
two images are saved to the card  simultaneously. The two images will 
be saved in the same folder with the  same file numbers (file extension 
.JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW).  73 images can be viewed or 
printed even with a computer that does not have the software provided 
with the camera installed.
