40 41 RECORDING MODE SETTING THE FUNCTION DIAL Image size, image quality , exposure modes, drive modes, white balance, and camera sensitivity are controlled by the function dial. Making changes with the function dial is simple. The function dial can only be used for still photography .
42 43 Data panel IMAGE QUALITY This camera has five image quality settings: raw , super fine, fine, standard, and economy . Always select the desired setting before taking the picture. See setting the function dial section on page 40. Image quality controls the rate of compression, but has no effect on the number of pixels in the image.

46 47 RECORDING MODE PROGRAM - P The programmed AE exposure control uses luminance and focal-length information to ensure perfect exposures. The sophisticated exposure system allows the photographer the freedom to shoot without having to worry about the technical details of exposure settings.
The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the appropriate aperture to ensure correct exposure. When S mode is selected, the shutter speed on the monitors turns blue.
Manual exposure mode allows individual selection of shutter speeds and apertures. This mode overrides the exposure system giving the photographer total control over the final exposure. The shutter speeds and aperture values can be changed in half stop increments.
Continuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-release button. Continuous advance acts like a motor drive on a film camera. The number of images that can be captured at one time and the rate of capture depends on the image-quality and image-size setting.
After setting the drive mode to bracketing, turn the digital effects switch to the exposure-compensation setting. The order of the bracket series is normal exposure (as indicated by the shutter speed and aperture displays), underexposure, overexposure.
The interval mode makes a series of still images over a period of time. Similar to time- lapse photography , a series of images of a slow moving event can be taken: the blossoming of a flower , the construction of a building. The built-in flash can be used.
White Balance is the camera’s ability to make dif ferent types of lighting appear neutral. The ef fect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conventional photography .
60 61 RECORDING MODE CAMERA SENSITIVITY - ISO Five settings can be selected for camera sensitivity: Auto, 100, 200, 400, and 800; the numerical values are based on an ISO equivalent. ISO is the standard used to indicate film sensitivity: the higher the number , the more sensitive the film.

The color saturation of a scene can be adjusted within seven levels (± 3) with the Digital Effects Controller . Colors can be accented or subdued. The color saturation must be set before the image is captured. When changing the color-saturation setting, an icon will appear on the data panel and in the live image.
66 67 RECORDING MODE AUTOFOCUS AREAS AND CONTROL In still-image recording mode, the controller selects the focus area used and moves the spot-focus area within the image. The two focus areas, wide focus area and spot focus point, allow flexibility over a variety of situations.
68 69 RECORDING MODE AUTOFOCUS MODES This digital camera has two autofocusing modes. The single and continuous autofocus modes are selected in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 80). • Do not confuse these icons with the metering-mode icons (p.
Manual control over focus is simple. The focus mode button (AF/MF) (1) toggles between automatic and manual focus. The MF icon is displayed on the data panel and monitors when the camera is in the manual- focus mode. Use the focus ring (2) at the rear of the lens barrel to make a sharp image in the EVF or on the LCD monitor .
When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the focus and exposure are locked. The AF/AEL button performs the same operation when press and held; the focus signals and exposure displays will confirm if the settings are locked. The operation of this button can be changed in the custom-1 section of the recording-mode menu (p.
