[. . . ] When the exposure mode is set to Manual ( P. 64) or AE lock ( P. 70) is used, metering is automatically switched to this mode. 3 69 AE Lock Photography s AE lock allows you to set the exposure for a part of the image that you want to be correctly exposed, and then lock in that exposure setting when you take the picture. This technique is useful when you want to store an exposure setting in the camera (by pressing the "AE-L" AE lock button) and then keep the same exposure setting as you change your subject's pose or the composition of the shot. Regardless of the selected exposure mode, the exposure metering mode is automatically switched to center-weighted metering. 1 Position your subject in the center of the image, hold the shutter button halfway and press the "AE-L" AE lock button. 2 With the "AE-L" button held down, return to the shot composition you want to photograph, focus the shot and then take the picture. 70 Exposure Compensation s Exposure compensation is a procedure in which you can intentionally change the correct exposure setting displayed by the camera. For example, this mode can be used to shift the exposure in small steps when the subject has high levels of contrast. On the FinePix S1 Pro, exposure compensation can be performed to ±3 EV in increments of 1/3 of an EV step. (Note that exposure compensation cannot be used in AUTO mode or in the 5-vari program modes. ) 1 Hold down the exposure compensation button "h " and set the amount of compensation on the command dial. · Example of exposure indicator display Compensation of ­0. 3 EV Compensation of +2 EV · When you set the amount of compensation, the exposure compensation icon "h " appears on the top display panel and in the viewfinder display. Simply press the exposure compensation button to confirm the compensation amount. (The exposure indicator is also displayed. ) · When the built-in flash or an external Nikon flash is used, the amount of light emitted by the flash is also adjusted by the same amount. However, the restrictions described below apply. s Maximum flash compensation values for flash units used with exposure compensation ISO + compensation ­ compensation 320 3 EV approx. 1 EV · As a general guide, when the subject (eg. a person) is set against a bright background, positive exposure compensation should be used. Against a dark background, negative exposure compensation should be used. 2 Compose the picture, focus and shoot. 3 · To cancel exposure compensation, hold down the exposure compensation button and use the command dial to set the compensation amount to 0, or reset the camera ( P. 56). (Switching the camera off does not cancel exposure compensation. ) 71 Self-timer Photography s This mode is useful for shots such as commemorative pictures where the photographer also wants to be in the shot. Use a tripod or otherwise ensure that the camera is stable before using the self-timer. 1 Press the self-timer button "!" icon appears on the top display panel. · The self-timer will not operate if the camera shutter cannot release, such as when the camera cannot focus using AF (auto focus). · If you are not using the M (manual) exposure mode to take the shot, cover the eyepiece with your hand or with the eyepiece cap provided ( P. 73) before you press the shutter button to prevent interference to achieve correct exposure from strey light. · If you are using AF (auto focus) to focus the camera, take care not to stand in front of the lens when you operate the self-timer. 2 Compose the shot, focus and then press the shutter button. · When the self-timer setting is "10 sec. ", the "!" icon flashes for 10 seconds on the top display panel when the self-timer starts running. The self-timer lamp flashes for 8 seconds and then remains lit for the last 2 seconds before the shutter releases. If you have selected red-eye reduction mode ( P. 75), the self-timer lamp lights for the last 2 seconds at the brightness used for red-eye reduction mode shooting. · To cancel self-timer mode, press the self-timer button "!" again either before or during self-timer operation, or switch the camera off. You can also cancel self-timer mode by performing a camera reset ( P. 56). 72 Diopter Adjustment Function/Eyepiece Cap s The diopter adjustment function makes it easier for you to check your shots by looking at the image through the viewfinder. · While you are looking through the viewfinder, slide the diopter adjustment knob to the position in which you see the focusing frame in the viewfinder most clearly. The setting can be adjusted between -1. 5 and 1. 0 dpt (near-sighted to far-sighted). [. . . ] This phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image.
