In the , < 3>, < 4>, and < 5> Basic Zone modes, you can shoot 
while the settings match the lighting or scene type. Normally, 
[ Default setting] is adequate, but if the settings match the lighting 
condition or scene, the picture will  look more accurate to your eye.
For Live View shooting, if you set both [ Light/scene-based shots] and 
[Ambience-based shots] (p.77), you should first set [ Light/scene-
based shots ]. This will make it easier to see the resulting effect on the 
LCD monitor.

Creative Shooting
In Basic Zone modes, to prevent spoiled shots, 
advanced function settings cannot be changed. 
However, 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 314.
  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 avail able only in Creative Zone modes 
(p.24).
*< d> stands for Program.
* AE  stands for Auto Exposure.

The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE.

d: Program AE
  Change the ISO speed or use the built-in flash.
To match the subject and ambient  lighting level, you can change the 
ISO speed (p.92) or use the built-in flash (p.107). In the < d> mode, 
the built-in flash will not fire aut omatically. 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 aperture 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 underexposure. Increase the ISO 
speed or use flash.
  If the “ 4000” shutter speed and the minimum aperture 
blink, it indicates overexposure. Decrease the ISO 
speed.
Differences Between < d> and < A> (Scene Intelligent Auto)In the < A> mode, many functions such as the AF operation and metering 
mode are set automatically to prevent  spoiled shots. The functions you can 
change are limited. Whereas in the < d> mode, only the shutter speed and 
aperture are set automatically. You can freely set the AF operation, metering 
mode, and other functions (p.314).

3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
 I want to select the image-recording 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 (Fine) and 8 (Normal)?
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 saved to the card. Both  b and  c have  7 
quality.
  I was able to take more shots than 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.
