[. . . ] If you wish to capture another image using the self-timer, repeat these steps. 25 Using the Flash The flash is designed to function automatically when lighting conditions warrant the use of flash. You can take an image using a desired flash mode to suit your circumstances. Turn the camera on by pressing the button. Toggle the button until your desired flash mode appears on the LCD monitor. The modes appear cyclically as follows: [ ] Auto Flash [ ] Red-Eye Reduction [ ] Flash Off [ ] Forced Flash 3. Compose your scene and press the shutter button. E The camera has four flash modes: Auto Flash (default), Red-Eye Reduction, Forced flash and Flash Off. The table below helps to choose appropriate flash mode: F Flash Mode [ ] Auto Flash [ ] Red-Eye Reduction G [ [ ] Forced flash ] Flash Off S 26 Description The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions. The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main flash fires. This causes the pupil in human eyes to constrict, reducing the red-eye phenomenon. Select this mode when capturing images of people and animals in low-light conditions. The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select this mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows. Select this mode when capturing images in a place where flash photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the effective range of the flash. Scene Modes Whereas still-image mode offers ease of operation and automatic camera control, scene mode allows you to obtain even better photographic results. Scene modes are predefined camera settings that optimize the camera for a particular type of scene. Your ViviCam 3760 is programmed to handle all adjustments for you, giving you the optimum photographic results for various shooting conditions. Landscape Mode Capturing images by selecting the [ ] mode helps to capture vivid and expensive landscape images with the enhancement of image's color and saturation.

Note: In this mode, the ISO speed cannot be set and the Flash mode defaults to off [ ]. E Portrait Mode In this mode, your camera utilizes a shallower depth-of-field (narrower range of focus) to create a spatial effect. Therefore, you can capture images emphasizing your main subject while the background is softly blurred. [. . . ] Examples of Exposure Compensation: Positive (+) Compensation * Copying of printed text (black characters on white paper) * Backlit portraits * Very bright scenes (such as snowfields) and highly reflective subjects * Shots made up predominantly of sky Negative (-) Compensation * Spot lighted subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds * Imaging of printed text (white characters on black paper) * Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage. Your camera adjusts the white balance of each scene automatically. However, the images that your camera captures will appear differently under different lighting conditions (daylight, cloudy, sunset, tungsten, fluorescent). Unlike our eyes, which can easily adjust to different lighting conditions (lighting temperatures), a digital camera cannot always differentiate between lighting types. [. . . ]
