Shooting Shooting in Stitch Assist Mode Stitch Assist mode can be used to shoot images, which overlap, and which can later be merged to create one panoramic image on a computer. The overlapping seams of several adjacent images can be joined into a single panoramic image. • To merge the images on the computer, use PhotoStitch, one of the supplied programs. Framing a Subject The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions of adjoining images and merges them.
56 Shooting • Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close items. These items may appear warped or doubled up in the merged image. • Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will appear unnatural if the contrast in brightness is too great. • To shoot landscapes, swivel (pan) the camera around its own vertical axis. • To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject, keeping it parallel to the subject as you move it.
Shooting • Compose the second image so that it overlaps a portion of the first and shoot. Second Image • Use the or button to check or retake the recorded images. • Minor discrepancies in the overlapping portions can be corrected when the images are stitched together. • Repeat the procedure for additional images. A sequence may contain up to 26 images. Third Image • Press the button to close Stitch Assist mode. • See the Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p.
58 Shooting Shooting a Movie Use the movie mode to shoot movie clips.

You cannot shoot again until the flashing stops. • See the Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 76) for the settings available in this mode. • Sound is recorded monaurally.
60 Shooting Locking the Focus (AF Lock) It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subject. Use the focus lock in these situations. • Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings • Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition • Subjects that are moving quickly • Subjects through glass Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the chances of light reflecting back off the glass. Shooting with the Focus Lock Method 1 1.
Shooting • Re-aim the camera to compose the shot as desired and press the shutter button all the way. • Release the focus lock by pressing either the / , , or zoom buttons. • Turning the mode dial also releases the focus lock. • Method 2 is convenient because you can let go of the shutter button to recompose the image. Moreover, the focus remains locked after the picture is taken, allowing you to capture a second image with the same focus.
62 Shooting Locking the Exposure Setting (AE Lock) You can set the exposure and focus separately. This is effective when the contrast is too strong between the subject and background or when a subject is backlit. • You must set the flash to the flash fires. . The AE lock cannot be set if • Turn on the LCD monitor. • Focus the camera on the subject on which you wish to lock the exposure setting. • Press the shutter button halfway and wait until two beeps sound.
Shooting Locking the Flash Exposure Setting (FE Lock) You can adjust and lock the flash output to suit a specific portion of the subject. • Turn on the LCD monitor. • Set the flash to and focus on the part of the subject on which you wish to lock the flash exposure setting. • Press the shutter button halfway and wait until two beeps sound. • Keep the shutter button pressed halfway and press the button. • The icon will display.
64 Shooting Switching between Autofocus Modes Although the autofocus function is preset to the AiAF setting, you can switch modes to one that uses a fixed AF frame at the center of the field. The AF frames will appear in the LCD monitor if it is turned on (p. 31). On The camera focuses using the AF frame that it selects to suit the shooting conditions. Off The camera focuses using the center AF frame. This is convenient for focusing on a specific part of a subject with greater certainty.
Shooting Switching between Light Metering Modes You can switch between metering modes to shoot. Evaluative Light Metering Appropriate for standard shooting conditions, including backlit scenes. The camera divides images into several zones for light metering. It evaluates the complex lighting conditions, such as the position of the subject, the brightness, the direct light, and the backlighting, and adjusts the settings to the correct exposure for the main subject.
66 Shooting Adjusting the Exposure Compensation Adjust the exposure compensation setting to avoid making the subject too dark when it is backlit or shot against a bright background or to avoid making lights appear too bright in night shots. • Use the or button to adjust the exposure compensation. • The settings can be adjusted in 1/3 steps in the range of -2EV to +2EV. • You can confirm the effect of the exposure compensation setting in the LCD monitor image when the LCD monitor is on.
Shooting Shooting in Long Shutter Mode You can set the shutter speed to a slow setting to make dark subjects appear brighter. • See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 37). In the (Rec.) menu, select . • Use the or button to select [On]. • The display will return to the Rec. menu. Long Shutter Menu • Use the or button to select the or long shutter menu and the button to select a shutter speed. • A shot can be taken immediately after.
68 Shooting • The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image increases at long shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality images. Nevertheless, a certain amount of processing time may be required before the next image can be shot. • Use the LCD monitor to confirm that the image was recorded at the desired brightness.
Shooting Setting the White Balance Setting the white balance to match the dominant light source when shooting will adjust the image coloring to the correct settings for that type of light. Set the white balance mode to a natural or artificial light setting according to the circumstances. Auto The camera sets the white balance automatically according to shooting conditions. Daylight For recording outdoors on a bright day. Cloudy For recording under overcast, shady or twilight skies.
70 Shooting Setting a Custom White Balance You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for the shooting conditions by having the camera evaluate an object, such as a piece of white paper or cloth, or a photo-quality gray card that you wish to establish as the standard white color. • Press the button repeatedly until the White Balance Settings menu displays. • Use the or button to select . • Aim the camera at the white paper or cloth, or gray card and press the button.
Shooting • You are recommended to set the shooting mode to and the exposure compensation setting to zero (±0) before setting a custom white balance. The correct white balance may not be obtained when the exposure setting is incorrect (image appears completely black or white). • It is also advisable to use the LCD monitor to compose the shot and to zoom in to the maximum telephoto setting. mode, • Since the white balance data cannot be read in preset the white balance in another shooting mode first mode.
72 Shooting Changing the Photo Effect You can shoot with different photo effects. Photo Effect Off Records with no effect. Vivid Emphasizes the contrast and color saturation to record in bold color. Neutral Tones down the contrast and color saturation to record neutral hues. Low Sharpening Records subjects with softened outlines. Sepia Records in sepia tones.
