91SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT •Face recognition in the Family First mode may be slower than in the Normal mode because the camera needs time to determine whether the faces in the image are the same as the recorded faces. Also, compared with the Normal mode, the Family First mode will not be able to recognize faces that are far away and small. •If the camera is unable to find a face when you press the shutter button, it will focus on the center of the screen. •Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when shooting with face recognition. Use of no other focus mode is supported. •When shooting with the camera held sideways (for a portrait orientation shot), face recognition may take more time when shooting with the camera held normally (landscape orientation). •Face recognition cannot be used in combination with any of the following features. – Images recorded with certain BEST SHOT scenes (Business cards and documents, White board, etc., Old Photo, ID Photo, Layout, Auto Framing) – Movie mode, MOVIE BEST SHOT scenes •The following functions are disabled when shooting with face recognition. – Multi AFYou can select an exposure mode to control how the camera configures its aperture and shutter speed settings when recording an image. •In the S mode and A mode, you can also change the exposure compensation (EV shift) setting.Manually Configuring Shutter Speed and Aperture Settings A Mode (Aperture Priority AE)You set the aperture manually, and the camera sets the applicable shutter speed automatically.

The difference between a wide and narrow aperture becomes apparent when shooting with optical zoom telephoto (page 69). The following shows the ranges for the aperture setting you can configure in the A mode. *The camera has a built-in ND filter to limit exposure. F9.2 is the aperture when the ND filter is being used. 1.Set the mode dial to “A”. 2.Press [SET] as many times as required to select the aperture setting and then use [W] and [X] to set the aperture value you want. •You can also use [SET] to select the EV shift setting and then specify an exposure value (EV shift), if you want.

96SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT 4.Half-press the shutter button.

IMPORTANT! •You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want when shooting an image that is very dark or very bright. If this happens, use the M mode (manual exposure) to adjust the aperture or shutter speed manually. •Using slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise to appear in the image. Because of this, the camera performs a noise reduction process automatically whenever the shutter speed is 1/8 second or slower. The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that noise will be generated in an image. Because of the time required for noise reduction, it takes longer to record images shot at slower shutter speeds. Do not perform any key operation while an image recording operation is in progress. •At shutter speeds slower than 1/2 second, the brightness of the recorded image may not be the same as the brightness of the image that appears on the monitor screen. •Image Blur (page 133) is disabled during in the shutter speed priority AE mode and manual exposure mode. You can, however, turn on Camera Shake, if you like. Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

Anti Shake Movie Recording Turning on Anti Shake for movie recording causes the view angle to become smaller. Anti Shake reduces the effects of hand movement only. It does not limit the effects of subject movement (page 133). Movie Recording Precautions •You cannot use flash while shooting a movie. •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 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. •Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data, which can cause movie frames to be dropped. “ ” and “ ” flash on the monitor screen during recording to let you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended. Microphone (stereo) Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals
100SHOOTING A MOVIE •The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you shoot close up or a large zoom factor.
