Exposure, white balance, and other variables are set automatically. This means that you will get good results for most subjects and lighting without the need to go into the menus and change any settings. However, we recommend that you become familiar with the available options so that you can improve your photos if, for example, you decide they are coming out too dark (common for snow scenes with most cameras), or too green (under many fluorescent lights). Press the "Menu" button to enter the main menu. Use down or up arrow buttons to highlight an option within the menu, then press Menu if you wish to change the settings for that option. Use the Left/Right arrow to select the setting you want, then press Menu to confirm this setting. The main, or camera, menu also contains a submenu, called "Setup", which contains the items you are most likely to need to set just once. Here are the options and settings available in the main menu and its Setup submenu. MENU MAIN Option EV Settings -2. 0 ~ +2. 0 (Default= 0 EV) VH, H, M, L Description Provides manual under/over exposure adjustment in 0. 5 EV steps. Minus values produce darker photos, plus values lighter. [. . . ] If you are new to photo editing on a computer, consult your software's Help menu (PhotoSuite has extensive built-in Help) for tips on using its features. Along with adjusting the brightness, contrast, sharpness and color of your photos, you can resize the photo to fit the paper if you are printing, or save a smaller, low or medium resolution version for email or inserting into documents. When you are ready to save your edited file, you may want to use "Save As" and give it a more descriptive name than "IMG___". Doing this also preserves the original file as a backup to reopen and re-edit later. [. . . ]
