ADVANCED SETTINGS Changing the Focus Mode Your camera provides you with the five focus modes described below. The initial factory default focus mode is Auto Focus. Focus Mode Description Auto Automatic focus when the shutter button is half-pressed. Focus Auto Focus becomes fixed focus while shooting a movie. Macro Used for close-up shooting.
Page 122: Using Auto Focus
Perform the following steps to change the focus mode. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. On the “REC” tab, select “Focus” and then press [ ]. Use [ ] and [ ] to Focus Mode Icon select the focus mode setting you want and then press [SET].
Page 123: Using Macro Focus
When the image is focused, press the shutter button the rest of the way to shoot. IMPORTANT! • Auto Focus becomes fixed focus while shooting a movie. NOTE • When proper focusing is not possible because the subject is closer than the Auto Focus range, the camera will switch to the Macro Focus range automatically (Auto Macro).
Page 124 NOTE • When Macro Focus cannot focus properly because the subject is too far away, the camera will switch to the Auto Focus range automatically (Auto Macro). • Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Macro Focus, values will appear on the monitor screen as shown below to tell you the focus range.
Page 125 Auto Focus and Macro Focus Shooting Tips Changing the Auto Focus Area Use the following procedure to change the metering area used for Auto Focus (AF). In the REC mode, press [MENU]. On the “REC” tab, select “AF Area” and then press [ ].

Page 128 Quick Shutter If you press the shutter button all the way without waiting for Auto Focus while Quick Shutter is turned on, the camera will record the image using a high-speed focus operation that is much faster than normal Auto Focus. This helps to avoid missing a special moment while you wait for the camera to Auto Focus.
Page 129: Using Fixed Focus (Pan Focus)
Using Fixed Focus (Pan Focus) Pan Focus (PF) fixes focus for a relatively wide focus range, which means you can shoot without waiting for the Auto Focus operation to finish.

Page 131: Correcting Image Brightness (Ev Shift)
Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift) You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it. This feature helps to achieve better results when shooting a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, or a subject that is against a dark background. Exposure Compensation Value: –2.0EV to +2.0EV Unit: 1/3EV In the REC mode, press [SET].
Page 132: Controlling White Balance
After the EV value is the way you want, press [SET] to apply it. The exposure compensation value you set remains in effect until you change it. IMPORTANT! • When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.

Page 134 ■ Configuring the White Balance Setting Manually Under complex lighting conditions, the preset white balance settings may not be able to produce natural looking colors. When this happens, you can configure the white balance setting manually for particular lighting conditions. Note that you will need to have a plain white sheet of paper on hand when performing the following procedure.
Page 135: Specifying Iso Sensitivity
Specifying ISO Sensitivity ISO sensitivity is a value that expresses sensitivity to light. A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for shooting when available lighting is dim. If you want to use faster shutter speeds, you should use a higher ISO sensitivity value. Under certain conditions, a fast shutter speed in combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise, which makes an image appear rough.
Page 136: Specifying The Metering Mode
IMPORTANT! • Using flash with high ISO sensitivity can cause problems with subjects that close to the camera. • “Auto” ISO sensitivity always is used for movies, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting. • You can use the key customization feature to configure the [ ] and [ ] buttons so they control the ISO sensitivity setting (page 145).
Page 137 Center Weighted Center weighted metering concentrates on the center of the focus area to measure light. Use this metering method when you want to exert some control over exposure, without leaving settings totally up to the camera. Spot Spot metering takes readings at a very small area.
Page 138: Reducing The Effects Of Overexposure And Underexposure
Reducing the Effects of Overexposure and Underexposure You can use the procedure below to expand the dynamic range, which makes it possible to capture the bright areas of an image while reducing the chance of overexposure and underexposure. When shooting a subject that is back lit, for example, an expanded dynamic range minimizes overexposure and underexposure.
Page 139: Enhancing Human Skin Textures
Enhancing Human Skin Textures You can use the procedure below to reduce digital noise from human skin in the recorded image and enhance its texture. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. On the “Quality” tab, select “Portrait Refiner” and then press [ ]. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the setting you want and then press [SET].

Page 142: Using The On-Screen Histogram To Check Exposure
IMPORTANT! • Even if you do not stamp the date and/or time with Timestamp, you can do so later using the DPOF function and the printing software function (page 218). • Once date and time information is stamped in a print, it cannot be edited or deleted.
Page 143 NOTE • You can use key customization to configure the [ ] and [ ] buttons so they control the EV shift setting. Then you can perform EV shift while viewing the results on the on-screen histogram (page 145). ■ How to Use the Histogram A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the number of pixels.
Page 144: Other Useful Recording Functions
An overall well-balanced histogram results when the overall image is at optimal lightness. IMPORTANT! • A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. If you intentionally want to over expose or under expose the image, you may not want a centered histogram.
Page 145: Using Key Customize To Assign Functions [ ] And [ ]
