Using Pre-composition Mode
When asking someone else to take photos for you, but the photos always don’t come up right?

1.  the Shutter button 
 (full press), which causes a semi-transparent image of the 
background to remain  on the LCD monitor.  If the background is 
not correct, press the Menu button 
 to  cancel the semi-
transparent temporarily image and repeat this step until the 
desired background is achived.Tap the 
 button to cancel the 
semi-transparent temporarily image.

4.  Shutter button  . Camera stores the image 
produced by this step only.

When taking the picture for yourself, the self portrait mode is necessary besides the tripod.  If a face has been 
recognized, the camera performs 2-second countdown with a beep notice then take a shot without pressing the 
Shutter button

Using HDR Mode
Active HDR mode preserves details in highlights and shadows, creating photos with natural contrast. Use for high 
contrast scenes, for example, when photographing brightly light outdoor scenery through a door/window, or taking 
pictures of shaded subjects on a sunny day. With this feature, the adjustment of contrast is accomplished in-camera 
and requires no additional post-processing for the bulk of images.

Setting Photo Size
The Photo Size function is used to set the resolution before you capture the image. Changing the Photo Size affects 
the number of images that can be stored in your memory card. The higher the resolution, the more memory space is 
required.

Setting Quality
This allows the quality (compression) at which the photo is captured to be increased or decreased.  The quality 
determines the amount of compression applied to the photos.  Superfine setting results in a more detailed image. 
However, the higher the quality, the more memory space is required in memory.

Setting EV Compensation
Images can be captured with the overall scene intentionally 
made brighter or darker.  These settings are used when a 
suitable brightness (exposure) cannot otherwise be obtained

the subject and the background (the contrast) is large, or 
when the subject that you wish to capture is very small within 
the scene.  Available for still images only.
