    							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.
    S Mode (Shutter 
    Speed Priority 
    AE)You set the shutter speed manually, and 
    the camera sets the applicable aperture 
    value automatically.
    M Mode (Manual 
    Exposure)You can set the shutter speed and 
    aperture manually.

    ■Shooting with Aperture Priority AE (A Mode)
    With aperture priority AE, you set the aperture and the camera 
    sets the appropriate shutter speed automatically. A wider 
    aperture (a lower aperture value) provides a shallow depth of 
    field, while a narrow aperture (a higher aperture value) provides 
    a greater depth of field. 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.

    setting.
    •The shutter speed and aperture value on the monitor 
    screen will turn orange when you half-press shutter 
    button if the image is over-exposed or under-exposed.
    4.When the image is focused, press the shutter 
    button the rest of the way to shoot.
    ■Shooting with Shutter Speed Priority AE 
    (S mode)
    With shutter speed priority AE, you set the shutter speed and the 
    camera sets the appropriate exposure value automatically. You 
    can set the shutter speed that best matches how much your 
    subject is moving.
    The following shows the ranges for the shutter speed setting you 
    can configure in the S mode.
    NOTE•Shutter speed priority AE is performed as if the “ISO” 
    setting (page 141) is “Auto”, regardless of the current “ISO” 
    setting.

    The following shows the ranges for the shutter speed and 
    aperture settings you can configure in the M mode.
    *The camera has a built-in ND filter to limit exposure. F9.2 is 
    the aperture when the ND filter is being used.
    NOTE•Sensitivity is fixed at “ISO 50” when shooting with manual 
    exposure (M mode) while “Auto” is selected for the “ISO” 
    setting (page 141). For other “ISO” settings, the allowable

    4.Half-press the shutter button.
    The camera will focus the image in accordance with your 
    settings.
    •The shutter speed and aperture value on the monitor 
    screen will turn orange when you press the shutter button 
    half way if the image is over-exposed or under-exposed.
    5.When the image is focused, press the shutter 
    button the rest of the way to shoot.
    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.

    							97SHOOTING A MOVIE
    SHOOTING A MOVIE
    Before shooting a movie, you should specify a movie image 
    quality setting. Movie image quality is a standard that 
    determines the detail, smoothness, and clarity of a movie during 
    playback. Shooting with the high-quality (HQ) setting will result 
    in better image quality, but it also shortens the amount of time 
    you can shoot.
    •Audio is stereo, except when “LP” image quality is selected, 
    when it is monaural.
    1.In a REC mode, press [MENU].
    2.On the “Quality” tab, select “  Quality” and 
    then press [X].
    3.Use [S] and [T] to select the quality setting 
    you want and then press [SET].
    •The “ ” indicator is on the monitor screen while “UHQ 
    Wide” or “HQ Wide” is selected for the quality setting.

    							99SHOOTING A MOVIE Shooting with MOVIE BEST SHOT
    With MOVIE BEST SHOT (page 104), you select the preset 
    scene that is closest to the one you want to shoot, and the 
    camera sets up for it automatically. Selecting the “Night Scene” 
    MOVIE BEST SHOT scene, for example, sets the camera to 
    shoot bright, clear images at night.
    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.

    							100SHOOTING A MOVIE
    •The effects of camera movement in an image become more 
    pronounced when you shoot close up or a large zoom factor. 
    Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended under these 
    conditions.
    •When the subject is outside the camera’s focus range, 
    focusing is not possible and the image will be out of focus.Short Movie shoots a movie that starts four seconds before the 
    shutter button is pressed and ends four seconds after it is 
    pressed.
    •Since four seconds of action before the shutter button is 
    pressed are recorded, Short Movie is a good way to make 
    sure you don’t miss the action of kids or other active subjects.
    •You can also use MOTION PRINT (page 189) to extract still 
    images of Short Movie scenes.Using Short Movie
