Recording pictures (advanced) 53 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 P57 for the available range of the aperture value and the shutter speed. The focus range is 0.16 feet (5 cm) –¶ (Wide), 3.94 feet (120 cm) –¶ (Tele). If the subject is too bright, set to larger aperture value, if too dim, set to smaller aperture value. The brightness of the screen may differ from that of the actual pictures.

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.

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 8 MB 35 10 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 FZ3-PP.book 59 ページ ２００４年６月２１日 月曜日 午後７時６分 Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Panasonic Manuals
