Camedia C-2500L Shooting Modes

The Camedia C-2500L has three shooting modes for you to use: P mode, A mode and M mode. Modes are selected according

to the way you want to take pictures or photographic conditions.

P Mode (Program Mode)

Aperture and shutter speed are set automatically by the Camedia C-2500L. All you have to do to get sharp clear images is to

press the shutter release button. Images are quick and easy.

A Mode (Aperture Mode)

This mode is semi-automatic. In it, you can change the aperture yourself, but shutter speed is automatically set by the camera.

By changing the aperture, you can change the way the background will come out in your images. For example, the background

can be saved as is done for group photographs or deliberately blurred for portraits.

M Mode (Manual Mode)

This is your manual mode where you set the exposure and shutter speed as you want your images to come out. In short, the M

mode lets you be more creative in your picture-taking.

How to Press the Shutter Release Button

The shutter release button is used in two ways. Practice pressing the but-

ton before actually taking pictures.

Pressing Down Halfway

Pressing the shutter release button down halfway locks the focus. The

green lamp inside the viewfinder will light up when the camera is ready to

take the picture.

Pressing Down All the Way

Pressing the shutter release button down all the way fixes the exposure

and releases the shutter. The picture will appear on the LCD monitor and,

during this time, the green lamp inside the viewfinder will blink.

MEMO

• In the spot metering mode, exposure is fixed when pressing the shut-

ter release button down halfway. In the centre metering mode, it is

fixed when pressing the shutter release button down all the way.

NOTE

• Press the Shutter release button gently using the ball of your finger.

Avoid moving the camera when pressing the Shutter release button

to prevent blurry images.

• If the Green lamp blinks when the Shutter release button is pressed

halfway, the focus is not locked. Remove your finger and press it

again.
