Recording pictures (advanced) 51 Recording pictures (advanced) Using the Mode Dial When you want the background to be in sharp focus, set the aperture value to a higher number. The higher the aperture value is the smaller the aperture opening will be. For a soft focus background, set the aperture value to a lower number which corresponds to a larger aperture opening. 1Set the aperture value and take the picture. Refer to P55 for the available range of the aperture value and the shutter speed. The focus range is 0.16 feet (5 cm) – ¶ (Wide), 6.56 feet (200 cm) – ¶ (Tele). If the subject is too bright, set to a larger aperture value, if too dim, set to a smaller aperture value. The brightness of the screen may differ from that of the actual pictures. Check it using review function or setting to the playback mode. The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to [AUTO]. (P70) (When the recording mode is switched to Aperture-priority AE, the ISO sensitivity is automatically set to [ISO100] even though it was set to [AUTO] beforehand.

The remaining recording time (approximation) appears on the screen. 3Press the shutter button fully to start the recording. The audio recording starts simultaneously from the built-in microphone of the camera. By pressing the shutter button fully again, the recording stops. If the memory card becomes full during recording, the camera stops automatically. ∫Available recording time (seconds) The recordable time is an approximation. The picture size is fixed to 320k240 pixels. The motion images cannot be recorded without audio. If using a MultiMediaCard, after recording motion images, the card access indication may appear for a while, but this is not a malfunction. The file is being loaded to the MultiMediaCard. The settings of auto focus/zoom/aperture values are fixed to what they are when recording starts (in the first frame). If you use a card with little capacity, recording may stop while you are recording motion images. When motion images recorded with this camera are played back on other equipment, the quality of pictures and sounds may be deteriorated or it may not be possible to play them back. The motion images recorded with setting [MOTION RATE] to [30fps] cannot be played back on a camera which does not support [30fps] of motion rate. The review function cannot be used. You cannot set [MODE2] on the Optical Image Stabilizer function. Keep the camera away from magnetized equipment or equipment which generates electromagnetic waves (e.g. a microwave oven, TV, cell phone or video game equipment, etc.) as far as possible. If not, pictures and sounds may be distorted due to electromagnetic wave radiation. 35S SD Memory Card CapacityMotion rate 10fps30fps 16 MB 75 25 32 MB 160 55 64 MB 350 120 128 MB 720 240 256 MB 1450 480 512 MB 2950 1020 1 GB 5700 1950 FZ20-PP.book 57 ページ ２００４年７月６日 火曜日 午後２時６分

Recording pictures (advanced) 59 This mode allows you to make the subject stand out from an unfocused background and adjust the exposure and the hue to achieve a healthy complexion on the subject. ∫Technique for Portrait mode To make this mode more effective: 1 Rotate the zoom lever to Tele as far as possible. 2 Be close to the subject. 3 Select a background which is far from the camera. This mode is suitable for outdoors in the daytime. White balance works best when recording outdoors in the daytime. When using indoors, the hue may change. The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO]. When you want to change the exposure or the hue, compensate the exposure (P43). This mode allows you to take pictures of a fast moving subject. (e.g. When taking pictures of outdoor sports.) ∫ Technique for Sports mode To record actions of the subject as if it were still, the shutter speed becomes faster than usual. This mode is more effective when taking pictures in the daytime on a clear day. This mode is suitable for outdoors in the daytime, keeping 16.4 feet (5 m) or more away from the subject.
