Page 26: Using Red-Eye Reduction
Using Red-eye Reduction (with the built-in flash) When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may come out red in the photograph. “Red eye” happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera’s red-eye reduc- tion feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. -

:Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aper- ture automatically to suit the brightness of the scene. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject. Or, a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. - Page 39 Check the viewfinder display and take the picture. • If the aperture display is not blinking, a correct exposure will be obtained. • If the maximum aperture (the lowest f/number) blinks, it indicates underexpo- sure.

Page 43: Automatic Depth-Of-Field Ae
:Automatic Depth-of-Field AE This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes. The camera uses the 7 AF points to detect the nearest and farthest sub- jects to be in focus. -
Page 44: Ae Lock
AE Lock With the same AF point, you can obtain and lock the auto exposure set- ting on one part of the picture and then recompose to focus a different part of the picture. AE lock enables you to maintain the same exposure setting even after recomposing the shot. -
