Setting the Power Save function Setting the AF mode to SAF CAF mode, in which the camera continually resets the focus, is suitable for subjects involving a lot of movement, such as sporting events, but this mode also consumes more power.

( p. 1-6) 3-9 Using C Camera Mode, N Continuous Shooting Mode and M Movie Mode This chapter describes various aspects of photography using a digital camera, such as using the flash, setting the number of pixels and image quality, and setting white balance. The icons below each of the function headings in this chapter provide a quick reference guide to the modes in which that function can be used. The meanings of the icons are shown below. · Applicable mode: C Can be used in C camera mode. · Applicable mode: M Can be used in M movie mode. · Applicable mode: N Can be used in N continuous shooting mode. Using the Flash Applicable mode: C/N This camera features an Automatic Flash function that determines whether or not the flash is needed based on the ambient light level. There are also ways of using the flash to good effect even in bright conditions. This section describes how to use the flash in situations such as those where conditions are bright but you still want to use the flash or where you don't want to use the flash even though it's dark. · When using the flash for close-up shots, you should set the ISO sensitivity to 200 or less. If you set the sensitivity to a high ISO setting and then take close-up shots, the image will be overexposed. Flash modes * C: default Auto Flash mode The camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether flash is required. 4 Using C Camera Mode, N Continuous Shooting Mode and M Movie Mode Red-eye Reduction Auto mode When people's eyes appear red in a photograph, this is referred to as the `red-eye effect' ( p. 4-3). In this mode, the flash reduces the red-eye effect by firing twice: once just before the picture is taken and again when the picture is taken. · The shot is taken the second time the flash fires, not the first time. Take care to ensure that neither the camera nor the subject moves after the flash fires for the first time. * N: default Flash Off mode In this mode, the flash never fires, regardless of the ambient light levels. This mode is best for shots of sunsets or shots where you want to retain an indoor ambiance. Because the shutter speed used may be slow, depending on the light levels, you should place the camera on a stable surface and use the self-timer ( p. 4-4) to prevent camera shake when the shot is taken. · If the photographed image is too dark, use the exposure compensation ( sensitivity ( p. 4-22) settings to adjust the brightness. p. 4-8) or ISO F Fill-in Flash mode In this mode, the flash fires regardless of the ambient light conditions. When you take a picture in strong sunlight or when the subject is backlit, the subject tends to be dark. In such situations, this mode allows you to take a picture that clearly shows both the subject and the background. Fill-Flash with Red-eye Reduction mode * Only when a long exposure is set. [. . . ] This is generally expressed as "ISO 100", etc. Film with higher ISO sensitivity is more sensitive to light and can be used to take pictures in low-light conditions.
