ESP Digital ESP metering. The entire

image is metered for light and

brightness patterns. Displayed

only in the control panel.

Center weighted averaging

metering. Meters the entire

picture, yet concentrates on the

area in the mark in the viewfinder,

approximately 3 times the size of

the spot metering area. Displayed

in the viewfinder and control

panel.

Spot metering. Only the area

covered by the spot metering

mark in the viewfinder is metered,

approximately 1.2% of the

viewfinder display. Displayed in

the viewfinder and control panel.

Selecting the Shooting Mode

Set the mode dial to P, A, S, or M to select the

shooting mode.

• P (Program mode) The camera automatically

selects the aperture value and shutter speed

for the pictures.

• A (Aperture priority mode) You set the

aperture value while the camera automatically

selects the correct shutter speed. A large

aperture value focuses the subject and blurs

the background for portrait shots, and a small

aperture value will focus both foreground and

background for group shots or scenery.

• S (Shutter priority mode) You set the shutter

speed while the camera selects the correct

aperture value. Use a fast shutter speed to

freeze moving subjects, or select a slow

shutter speed to create the effect of blurred

motion.

• M (Manual mode) You set the aperture and

shutter speed manually to achieve special

effects in your pictures.

Adjusting Aperture Value

Set the mode dial to A (Aperture priority

mode), and then turn the main dial or sub dial

to adjust the aperture value in 1/3 increments.

Turn the main dial to the right (or turn the sub

dial clockwise) for a large aperture or turn the

main dial to the left (or turn the sub dial

counterclockwise) for a smaller aperture. The

selected aperture value is displayed in the

viewfinder and control panel. The diameter of

the aperture is inversely proportional to the

aperture value. The larger the aperture value

the smaller the diameter of the aperture and

the greater the depth of field, allowing both the

subject and background to be in sharp focus.

The smaller the aperture value, the larger the

diameter of the aperture and the shallower the

depth of field, allowing you to focus the subject

against a blurred background.

Selecting the Metering Method

The metering method determines whether the

camera meters the light in a wide or smaller

area of the picture composed in the viewfinder.

Hold down the metering mode button on

top of the camera, and then turn the main dial

or sub dial until you see the icon for the

metering method that you want to set displayed

in the viewfinder or control panel.

Adjusting Shutter Speed

Set the mode dial to S (Shutter priority mode),

and then turn the main dial or sub dial to select a

shutter speed. For every position that you move

the dial the shutter speed is increased (or

decreased) in 1/3 steps. Turn the main dial to the

right (or turn the sub dial clockwise) for a faster

shutter speed or turn the main dial to the left (or

turn the sub dial counterclockwise) for a slower

shutter speed. (Shutter speed range: 2 - 1/640

sec. in IS mode, and 2 - 1/4000 sec. and 1/18000

sec. in PS mode) The selected shutter speed is

displayed in the viewfinder and control panel.

The flash may not be effective with shutter

speeds of 1/250 or faster.
