This will store the displayed image as a snapshot and exit Show Motion View. To exit Slow Motion View without saving any image, press [SLOW]. NOTE • Press [SLOW] before the instance you want to shoot occurs. • After pressing [SLOW], be sure to keep the camera pointed at the subject for at least the duration that is specified by the Slow Motion View pre-record time (buffer size) setting. • After you press [SLOW], the slow motion image playback will continue on the screen until you press the shutter button to store one of the images. To stop slow motion playback without saving any one of the images, press [SLOW] again. • Focus and exposure settings remain fixed at what they were when you pressed [SLOW]. • For focusing during a Slow Motion View operation, it is recommended that you half- press the shutter button to focus before you press [SLOW] (it is not necessary to keep the shutter button half-pressed after focus is achieved), or that you change the “Continuous AF” setting to “On”. • When “On” is selected for the “Continuous AF” setting, it will take slightly longer for slow motion playback of the pre-recorded images to start after you press [SLOW]. • If the camera’s image size setting is 9M, 3:2, or 16:9 when you shoot a Slow Motion View image, the size of the resulting image will be 6M. • The shooting range of Slow Motion View is narrower than that of a Single Shot mode image. • Switching to Slow Motion View causes the flash setting to become ?

44Snapshot Tutorial NOTE • Lag Correction will not be performed if you press the shutter button all the way without first pressing it half way. • If the camera’s image size setting is 9M, 3:2, or 16:9 when you shoot with Lag Correction, the size of the resulting image will be 6M. • The shooting range of Lag Correction is narrower than that of the Single Shot mode. • The lag correction time you should select depends on a variety of factors. The lag from the point when you decide to shoot to the point when the shutter actually releases depend on the individual photographer and on shooting conditions. Experiment with different settings until you find the one that suits you best. • Failure to pay proper attention to the subject when shooting can increase the lag time considerably. • Note the following when selecting a lag correction time. – If you are viewing the subject with the monitor screen, try selecting “ –0.2” as the lag correction time. If you are looking directly as the subject, try “–0.1”. – If timing is off with the above settings, try changing the lag correction time to “ –0.3” when using the monitor screen and “–0.2” when looking directly at the subject. • Using Lag Correction causes the flash setting to become ?

Using Flash (Flash) Auto FlashFlash fires automatically in accordance with exposure (amount of light and brightness) conditions. Flash OffFlash does not fire. Flash OnFlash always fires. This setting can be used to brighten a subject that normally comes out dark due to daylight or backlight (daylight synchro flash). Red Eye ReductionFlash fires automatically. This type of flash can be used to reduce the chance of redness in the subject’s eyes.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals
46Snapshot Tutorial NOTE • Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash. • The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too close. • Flash charging time (page 187) depends on operating conditions (battery condition, ambient temperature, etc.). • Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed, which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions, secure the camera with a tripod, etc. • With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright. • The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source can cause abnormal image colors. • Select ? (flash off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash photography is prohibited. Red-eye Reduction Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye. Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction. • Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking directly at the camera (flash). • Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from the camera.

47Snapshot Tutorial 1.In the REC mode, press [SET]. 2.Use [8] and [2] to select the bottom control panel option (Date/Time). You can use [4] and [6] to select date or time display. NOTE • You can select either of two display styles (page 154) for the date: Month/Day or Day/Month. • The time is displayed using 24-hour format. Your camera provides you with 5X 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 5X to 79.7X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 48). 1.In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom. 2.Press the shutter button to shoot the image.

48Snapshot 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 49). • 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. • Both optical zoom and digital zoom are disabled during high speed movie recording. • Zooming with digital zoom only is possible during recording an HD or STD movie. However, can zoom with optical zoom before you press [0] to start HD or STD 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. • If you do want to use digital zoom, change the “Digital Zoom” setting to “On” (page 92). • During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals
49Snapshot Tutorial • The deterioration point depends on the current image size setting (page 35). The smaller the image size setting, 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 “6M” 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 image size. • When “HD/STD” is selected as the movie mode, minimal deterioration up to a zoom factor of 27X is possible only for STD shooting. 5X to 27X Undeteriorated image quality range1X20X to 79.7X Zoom pointer (Indicates current zoom.)

With normal-speed continuous shutter (Normal Speed CS) you can shoot a series of images at a speed of approximately one image per second as long as there is memory available for image storage. 1.In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2.Use [4] and [6] to select the “REC” tab. 3.Use [8] and [2] to select “CS” and then press [6]. 4.Use [8] and [2] to select “Normal Speed CS”, and then press [SET]. 5.Press Ç (Continuous Shutter). • This will display Z (Normal Speed CS) and surround the monitor screen with a yellow frame. If this does not happen, press Ç again. 6.Hold down the shutter button to shoot. Images continue to be shot as long as you keep the shutter button depressed and there is memory available to store them. Releasing the shutter button stops shooting. IMPORTANT! • Combining Normal Speed CS images into a CS group (page 100) manually on the playback screen is not supported. • You cannot specify the number of images shot per second (fps) with Normal Speed CS. • The number of images per second (fps) of Normal Speed CS varies slightly depending on the type of memory card you are using and its current condition (remaining capacity, fragmentation state, etc.) • You cannot use Normal Speed CS in combination with Prerecord CS.
