[. . . ] · There is not a distinct point (subject range) at which normal mode is favored over macro mode; take an image in both optical and macro modes and compare the results. · In Macro mode, the internal flash cannot be used. Setting the Flash The flash is designed to function automatically when lighting conditions warrant the use of flash. You can take an image using a flash mode suitable to your circumstances. Press the button located on the rear side of the camera repeatedly until your desired flash mode appears on the LCD monitor. Compose the picture and press the shutter button. 22 The camera has five flash modes: Auto Flash, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow Synchro, Fill Flash (on) and Flash off. The table below will help you to choose the appropriate flash mode: Flash Mode Auto Flash Description The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions. This causes the pupil in the human eye to constrict, reducing the red-eye phenomenon. Select this mode when taking images of people and animals in low-light conditions. This flash mode is effective when taking pictures so that not only the subject but also the background are both clearly reproduced in artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent lighting, etc. ) or with people against the night as a background scene. Select this mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting ) and deep shadows. Select this mode when taking images in a place where flash photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the effective range of the flash. Red-Eye Reduction E Slow Synchro Fill Flash (on) Flash Off 23 Setting Image Resolution and Quality Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored in memory, or on an SD memory card. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images. Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but produce large files sizes. High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page. Select IMAGE SIZE or QUALITY by using the / button and then press the button. Press the shutter button. E 24 Number of Recordable Images The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the internal memory or the SD memory card at the camera's image quality and size settings. The number of recordable images may vary depending on the recorded subject and the capacity of the memory card, or if there are files other than images, or when the recording is made while switching the picture quality/resolution.
