    							41Snapshot Tutorial
    You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.
    • Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0EV to +2.0EV
    • Unit: 1/3EV
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the second Control Panel option from the 
    bottom (EV Shift).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to adjust the exposure compensation value.
    To cancel exposure compensation, change the EV 
    value to 0.0.
    4.Press [SET].
    This applies the exposure compensation value. 
    The exposure compensation value you set remains 
    in effect until you change it.
    NOTE
    • When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to 
    obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.
    Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift) 
    [6]: Increases the EV value. A higher EV 
    value is best for light-colored subjects 
    and backlit subjects.
    [4]: Decreases the EV value. A lower EV 
    value is best for dark-color subjects and 
    for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the bottom Control Panel option (Date/Time).
    Use [4] and [6] to select the date or time.
    NOTE
    • You can select either of two display style (page 128) for the date: Month/Day or 
    Day/Month.
    • The time is displayed using 24-hour format.
    Your camera provides you with 3X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal 
    distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally 
    processes the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 
    3X to 45.2X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 44).
    1.In the REC Mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.
    2.Press the shutter button to shoot the image.
    IMPORTANT!
    • Digital zoom is disabled while date stamping (page 127) is turned on.

    							43Snapshot Tutorial
    NOTE
    • The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the 
    camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image 
    deterioration (page 44).
    • Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera 
    movement when shooting with telephoto.
    • Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.
    • Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical 
    zoom setting before you press [0] (Movie) to start movie recording.
    If you hold the zoom controller towards z (Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop 
    when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom 
    controller and then holding it again towards z (Telephoto) will switch to digital 
    zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.
    • During digital zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom 
    setting.

    • The image deterioration point 
    depends on the image size (page 24). 
    The smaller the image size, the higher 
    the zoom factor you can use before 
    reaching the image deterioration point.
    • Though digital zoom generally causes 
    a deterioration of image quality, some 
    digital zoom without image 
    deterioration is possible with image 
    sizes of “7M” and smaller. The range 
    in which you can use digital zoom 
    without image deterioration is 
    indicated on the display. The 
    deterioration point depends on the

    Recording Movie Images and Audio
    1.Configure the quality setting for the movie (page 67).
    The length of the movie you can record will depend on the quality setting you 
    select.
    2.In the REC mode, press [0] (Movie).
    This will start recording and display Y on the 
    monitor screen.
    Movie recording includes monaural audio.
    3.Press [0] again to stop recording.
    • Each movie can be up to 10 minutes long. Movie 
    recording stops automatically after 10 minutes of 
    recording. Movie recording also will stop 
    automatically if memory becomes full before you 
    stop movie recording by pressing [0].
    Shooting with BEST SHOT
    With BEST SHOT (page 50), you can select the sample scene that matches the type 
    of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for 
    beautiful movies every time. Selecting the BEST SHOT scene named Night Scene, 
    for example, will configure the camera so night scenes appear clearer and brighter.
    Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording
    You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during 
    movie recording (page 62). Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due 
    to subject movement and it makes the field of view narrower.

    NOTE
    • Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become 
    slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
    • The camera also records audio. Note the following points when shooting a movie.
    – Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers, 
    etc.
    – Good recording results are not possible when the camera is 
    too far away from what you are trying to record.
    – Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button 
    noise to be picked up in the audio.
    • Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to 
    appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate 
    malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but will 
    be recorded in the case of a movie.
    • Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, 
    which can cause movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by » and Y 
    flashing on the monitor screen. To avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory 
    card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.
    • Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical 
    zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing 
    [0] to start recording.
    • The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you 
    shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is 
    recommended under these conditions.
    • Auto Focus and Macro Focus become fixed focus while shooting a movie (page 
    58).

    Using BEST SHOT
    BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of 
    different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the 
    camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the 
    camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined 
    images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.
    1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (^).
    This will display a menu of BEST SHOT scenes.
    • The initial default selection is R (Auto).
    2.Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to move the 
    boundary to the scene you want to select.
    • The scene menu has multiple pages. Use [8] 
    and [2] to scroll between menu pages.
    • You can access information about the currently 
    selected scene. See page 51 for details.
    • To return to normal snapshot recording, select 
    Scene 1 R (Auto). Pressing [MENU] while the 
    scene selection screen or scene information 
    screen is displayed will cause the boundary to 
    jump directly to R (Auto).
    3.Press [SET] to configure the camera with the settings for the currently 
    selected scene.
    This returns to the REC mode.
    • The settings of the scene you selected remain in effect until you select a 
    different scene.
    • To select a different BEST SHOT scene, repeat the above procedure from 
    step 1.
