Descriptions of the Three Modes
Taking Pictures
This camera takes digital still images in JPEG format. The number of pictures you can take is subject to the
storage capacity of the memory (card), Image Resolution, and Picture Quality. Pictures with higher
resolution and quality require more memory.
Follow these steps to take pictures.
Turn on the camera and set up the date and time (Please refer to Date and Time Set).
Use the Mode dial to switch to Photo Mode (Choose among Auto, Manual, and Scene Mode. Auto
Mode is suggested for most users.) Find corresponding icons displayed on the upper left hand corner
of the screen and set the Image Resolution and Picture Quality according to your preference (Please
refer to Picture Quality).
■ Auto
The Auto Mode offers users a simple, fast capture mode. Except for Image Resolution and
Picture Quality, other settings are default values which cannot be adjusted (Eg: White
Balance, Exposure Compensation, Metering, ISO and Focus Selection will be modified
automatically by the camera). This setting is suitable for most users.
■ Manual
The Manual Mode offers settings which are fully adjustable, such as Image Resolution,
Picture Quality, White Balance, Exposure Compensation, Metering, ISO, and Focus
Selection. This setting is suitable for more advanced users.
■ Scene Mode
The Scene Mode offers twelve built-in scenes. Individual settings cannot be adjusted, except
for Image Resolution and Picture Quality.
