BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 51 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING This section describes the basic procedure for recording an image. Recording an Image Aiming the Camera Use both hands to hold the camera still when shooting an image. Holding the camera with one hand increases the chance of movement, which can blur your images.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 52 Recording an Image Your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the subject. Images you record are stored in the camera ’ s built-in memory, or to a memory card if you have one loaded in the camera.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 53 1. Press the power button or [ ] (REC) to turn on the camera. Focus frame Auto recording icon 2. Compose the image on the monitor screen so the main subject is within the focus frame. • The focusing range of the camera depends on focus mode you are using (page 73).
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 54 It means this: The image is in focus. The image is not in focus. When you see this: Green focus frame Green operation lamp Red focus frame Flashing green operation lamp ● Operation Lamp and Focus Frame Operation • The monitor screen uses various indicators and icons to keep you informed of the camera ’ s status.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 55 IMPORTANT! • When the “ REC ” tab ’ s “ Quick Shutter ” setting is turned on (page 75), the camera immediately records the image without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed when you press the shutter release all the way down without pausing.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 56 ■ Recording Precautions • Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto the USB cradle while the operation lamp is flashing green. Doing so not only causes the current image to be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in file memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 57 ■ About Auto Focus • Proper focus may be difficult or even impossible when shooting the following types of subjects. — Solid color walls or subjects with little contrast.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 58 Using Zoom Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical zoom and digital zoom. Normally, the camera automatically switches over to digital zoom after you reach the maximum limit for optical zoom. You can, however, configure the camera to disable digital zoom, if you want.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 59 NOTE • The optical zoom factor also affects the lens aperture. • Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against hand movement when using the telephoto setting (zoom in).
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 60 ■ To record an image using digital zoom 1. In the REC mode, hold the zoom controller towards (telephoto) side. • This causes the zoom indicator to appear on the display. 2. When the zoom pointer reaches the optical/ digital zoom switch over point, it will stop.

Covering the flash with your finger can greatly reduce its effectiveness. • You may not be able to achieve the desired results using the flash if the subject is too close or too far away.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 67 Using the Self-timer The self-timer lets you select either a 2-second or 10- second delay of the shutter release after you press the shutter button. A Triple Self-timer feature lets you perform three consecutive self-timer operations to record three images.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 68 1. The camera performs a 10-second countdown and then records the first image. 2. The camera prepares to record the next image.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 69 NOTE • The “ 2 sec ” self-timer setting is best when shooting with a slow shutter speed, because it helps to avoid blurring of images due to hand movement. • The following functions are not available for use in combination with the Triple Self-timer.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 70 Specifying Image Size “ Image size ” is the size of the image, expressed as the number of vertical and horizontal pixels. A “ pixel ” is one of the many tiny dots that make up the image.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 71 Specifying Image Quality Compressing an image before storage can cause a deterioration of its quality. The more an image is compressed, the greater the loss of quality. The image quality setting specifies the compression ratio to be used when an image is stored in memory.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 72 IMPORTANT! • Actual file size depends on the type of image you record. This means that the remaining image capacity noted on the monitor screen may not be exactly accurate (pages 27, 232).
