BASIC IMAGE RECORDING About Auto Focus About the REC Mode Monitor Screen • Auto Focus tends not to work well if the camera is moved during recording, or when recording the types of subjects listed below.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING IMPORTANT! Previewing the Last Image Recorded • Preview buffer contents are cleared by the following operations. — Turning off the camera — Changing the mode dial setting • Nothing is stored in the preview buffer when you record a movie. Whenever you record an image, the camera stores a copy of it in a preview buffer. You can use the procedures described here to view the contents of the preview buffer, without exiting a REC mode.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING To delete preview buffer contents after recording a single image Orientation Sensor The camera has an orientation sensor that detects whether the camera is being held horizontally (its normal orientation) or vertically when you record an image. Information about camera orientation is recorded along with the image data so the image can be displayed properly.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING IMPORTANT! — Miss-operation of the orientation sensor can also occur if the camera is angled towards the front or back. A sensor error may occur if the camera is angled more than about 60 degrees towards the front or back. • To ensure proper operation of the orientation sensor, note the following points. — Keep the camera still during recording. Moving the camera while recording can cause missoperation of the orientation sensor.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Using the Optical Viewfinder You can conserve battery power by turning off the camera’s monitor screen (page 34) and using the optical viewfinder to compose images. Viewfinder IMPORTANT! • The visible area framed by the viewfinder shows the image that would be recorded at a distance of about one meter (3.3´). When recording a subject that is closer to you than one meter, the recorded image will be lower than what you can see inside the viewfinder area.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Using Zoom Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical zoom and digital zoom.

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING ■ About Red-eye Reduction Flash Unit Status Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This happens because the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs two pre-flash operations, one designed to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close, and one for the Auto Focus operation.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Changing the Flash Intensity Setting Using Flash Assist Perform the following steps to change the flash intensity setting. Recording a subject that is outside the flash range can cause the subject to appear dark in the resulting image, because not enough of the flash reaches the subject. When this happens, you can use flash assist to correct the brightness of the recorded subject, so it appears as if the flash illumination was sufficient. 1. In a REC mode, press [MENU]. 2.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 4. Use [왖] and [왔] to select “Auto”, and then Flash Precautions press [SET]. Flash Take care that your fingers do not block the flash when you hold the camera.
