[. . . ] Each time you turn the dial, the indicator in the viewfinder changes: AE A (Aperture Priority) ~ AE S (Shutter Priority) ~ Å (Twilight). Note on recording in PROGRAM AE We recommend that you adjust the focus and white balance manually. The shutter speed is automatically set (between 1/60 and 1/2000) according to the aperture value to maintain appropriate exposure. You can select from the following 15 values: F1. About the depth of focus field The depth of focus field is the in-focus range measured from the distance behind a subject to the distance in front. The depth of focus field can vary with the aperture value and the focal length. Zooming in telephoto position offers a smaller depth of focus field while the depth of focus field in wide-angle position is greater. You can select the shutter speed between 1/60 and 1/10000. When you select a faster shutter speed, movement appears clearer with less shaking. The aperture value is automatically adjusted according to the selected shutter speed to maintain appropriate exposure. This mode is most effective when you shoot the picture with high-speed movement. Note that the shutter speed is indicated in the viewfinder as, for example, "100" for 1/100 shutter speed. You can select from the following 16 speeds: 1/60, 1/90, 1/100, 1/125, 1/180, 1/250, 1/350, 1/500, 1/725, 1/1000, 1/1500, 1/2000, 1/3000, 1/4000, 1/6000, 1/10000. For a faster shutter speed, select a larger value indicator in the viewfinder. 6 We recommend shooting in sunlight or using a video light (not supplied). When shooting a very bright subject A vertical band (smear) may appear on the screen if the shutter speed is set too high. Subject Shutter speed 1/725 ­ 1/10000 1/125 ­ 1/500 A golf swing or tennis match in fine weather (to view the hit ball clearly in still picture mode, set to 1/1000 to 1/4000) · A landscape shot from a moving car · A moving roller coaster in overcast days · In sunny weather (to avoid an out-of-focus picture due to a small aperture) You can record a bright subject in a dark place without ruining the atmosphere. the aperture is automatically adjusted to maintain the appropriate exposure. This mode is effective when you record night views, neon signs or fireworks. When shooting an excessively bright subject Autofocus may not work effectively. The manual mode features an advanced recording technique by controlling the exposure with a combination of adjustments of the aperture value, shutter speed and gain level. When to use manual mode When the background is too bright (backlighting) [a], open the aperture (lower F value).
