    Using the Optical Zoom
    With this feature, you can make people and subjects appear closer with the 3 times 
    optical zoom, and landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
    Preparation

    ¬
    Suggestions/Tips ¬
     The picture may be slightly distorted 
    according to the lens. The distortion 
    will increase as you make subjects 
    wider and closer.
     When using the zoom lens at high 
    magnification, the quality of the picture 
    can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At 
    high magnification, even small 
    movements can cause a slight 
    decrease in picture sharpness.

    Taking Pictures using the Built-in Flash
    Preparation
     Set the mode dial except for [ ]/[ ]/[ ]. (P8)
    ªSwitching the flash setting
    :AUTO
    The flash is automatically activated 
    according to the recording condition.
    : AUTO/Red-eye reduction
    The flash is automatically activated 
    according to the recording condition.
    It reduces the red-eye phenomenon 
    (eyes of the subject appear red in 
    photo flash) by lighting the flash at 
    1 second before actually recording 
    the picture.
    Use this when you take pictures of 
    people in low lighting conditions.
    : Forced ON
    The flash is activated every time 
    regardless of the recording condition.
    Use this when your subject is back-lit 
    or under fluorescent light.
    : Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
    When you take a picture with a dark 
    background landscape, it makes the 
    shutter speed slow when the flash is 
    activated, so that the dark 
    background landscape will become 
    bright. Simultaneously it reduces the 
    red-eye phenomenon.
    Use this when taking pictures of 
    people in front of a dark background.: Forced OFF
    Even in dark places, the flash is not 
    activated.
    Use this when taking pictures in 
    places where use of the flash is not 
    allowed.

    ªThe available flash range to take

     The available flash range is an 
    approximation.

    °2 :DMC-LC80¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
     In Landscape mode [ ]/Motion 
    image mode [ ], flash setting is 
    fixed to the Forced OFF [ ].
     When using the flash in [AUTO] 
    setting, the ISO sensitivity is 
    automatically adjusted from [ISO50] to 
    [ISO400] (For DMC-LC80, the ISO 
    sensitivity can be automatically 
    adjusted from [ISO80] to [ISO400].). 
    To avoid noises, decrease the ISO 
    sensitivity.
     Do not stare at the photo flash from 
    close proximity when using the 
    flash.
     If you bring the flash too close to 
    the subjects, they may be distorted 
    or discoloured by its heat and 
    lighting.
     Do not cover the photo flash with 
    your fingers or any other items.
     If the subject is too close when using 
    the flash, the picture may be over 
    exposed.
     When the jitter alert appears, we 
    recommend using the flash.
     When you set to burst mode or auto 
    bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for 
    every flash activated.
     The flash icon turns red when 
    activating the flash and pressing the 
    shutter button halfway.
     When the flash is being charged, the 
    status indicator and the flash icon blink 
    red, and you cannot take a picture 
    even when you press the shutter 
    button fully.
     If the battery indicator is less than 
    [ ] or setting to the Economy 
    mode [ ], the LCD monitor turns off 
    during charging the flash.
     When taking a picture with the flash, 
    the white balance will be automatically 
    adjusted [except for [ ] (Daylight)], 
    but the white balance may not be 
    properly adjusted when the photo 
    flash is insufficient.
     To avoid picture noises, we 
    recommend setting [PICT.ADJ.] to 
    [NATURAL]. (P58)
     Refer to P53 for the ISO sensitivity.

    Compensating the Exposure
    Use this function when you cannot achieve appropriate exposure due to the 
    difference of brightness between the subject and the background.
    Preparation
     Set the mode dial except for [ ]/[ ]. (P8)
    1Select [ EXPOSURE] and 
    compensate the exposure.
     You can compensate from j2EV 
    to i2 EV in steps of 1/3 EV.¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
     EV is an abbreviation of Exposure 
    Value, and it is the amount of light 
    given to the CCD by the aperture 
    value and the shutter speed.
     The compensation range of the 
    exposure will be limited depending on 
    the brightness of the subject.
     The exposure compensation value 
    appears.
     The exposure value is memorised 
    even if the camera is turned off.

    Taking Pictures using Auto Bracket
    In this mode, 3 pictures are automatically recorded by each press of the shutter 
    button according to the compensation range of the exposure.
    You can select the desired exposure among the 3 types of pictures.
    Preparation
     Set the mode dial except for [ ]/[ ]/[ ]. (P8)
    1Select [ AUTO BRACKET] and 
    set the compensation range of the 
    exposure.
     You can select the exposure from 
    0 (OFF), n1/3 EV, n2/3 EV and 
    n1EV.
     When you do not use auto bracket, 
    select [OFF].¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
     When setting the auto bracket, the 
    auto bracket icon appears on the lower 
    left of the screen.
     Once you take a picture, auto bracket 
    will be cancelled automatically.
     When taking pictures using auto 
    bracket after the exposure 
    compensation, the pictures are based 
    on the compensated exposure.
    When the exposure is compensated, 
    the compensated exposure value 
    appears.
     When the flash is activated, you can 
    take only 1 picture. Auto bracket 
    setting cannot be cancelled.
     When setting auto bracket, you cannot 
    take a picture with audio.
     When setting auto bracket and the 
    burst mode simultaneously, auto 
    bracket will be performed.
     The exposure may not be 
    compensated with auto bracket 
    depending on the brightness of the 
    subject.
     When the ISO sensitivity is set to 
    [ISO400], the recording interval may 
    become longer due to the process to 
    reduce picture noises. (DMC-LC80)

    Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
    Preparation
     Set the mode dial except for [ ]/[ ]. (P8)
    1Switch the self-timer setting.

    picture.
     If you press the [MENU] button 
    when the self-timer is set, the 
    self-timer setting is cancelled.
    ¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
     When using a tripod or in other cases, 
    setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a 
    convenient way to stabilize the jitter 
    caused by pressing the shutter button.
     The self-timer 
    indicator 1 blinks 
    and the shutter is 
    activated after 
    10 seconds (or 
    2 seconds).
     When pressing the button fully with 
    one stroke, the subject is automatically 
    focused after the self-timer indicator 
    turns off.
     In Simple mode [ ], the self-timer 
    can only be set to 10 seconds.
     When setting the self-timer in the burst 
    mode, you can take only 1 picture.
     We recommend using a tripod when 
    setting the self-timer.

    ¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
     If the flash is activated, you can record 
    only 1 picture.
     In Simple mode [ ], the burst speed 
    is fixed to Low. (P29)
     You cannot take pictures with audio in 
    the burst mode.
     When setting auto bracket and the 
    burst mode simultaneously, auto 
    bracket will be performed.
     Burst mode will not perform as 
    described if a MultiMediaCard is used 
    in place of an SD Memory Card. The 
    reading/writing speed of a 
    MultiMediaCard is slower than that of 
    an SD Memory Card. In the following cases, the burst speed 
    becomes slow due to the signal 
    processing, however, this is not a 
    malfunction.
    (a) When the shutter speed becomes 
    slow because you take pictures in 
    dark places.
    (b) When you use the camera in high 
    temperature.
    The number of pictures taken at a time 
    is not limited in the above cases.
     When the ISO sensitivity is set to 
    [ISO400], you cannot use the burst 
    mode. (DMC-LC80)

    1: Fast forward
    2: Fast rewind
     The number of files forwarded/
    rewound at a time depends on how 
    long you hold down 2/1.
     The longer you hold down 2/1, the 
    more pictures you can forward/rewind 
    at a time.
     The setting of the number of files 
    forwarded/rewound at a time varies 
    depending on the total number of the 
    recorded pictures. When releasing 2/1, the number of 
    file forwarded begins from 1.
     While forwarding or rewinding a large 
    number of pictures by holding down 
    2/1, once release 2/1 before 
    reaching the picture to be played back, 
    then press 2/1 to forward/rewind 
    pictures until the desired picture 
    appears.
     In review playback in the recording 
    mode or multi playback, the pictures 
    can only be forwarded or rewound one 
    by one.

    Suggestions/Tips ¬
     This camera is based on the DCF 
    standards (Design rule for Camera 
    File system) which were established 
    by the Japan Electronics and 
    Information Technology Industries 
    Association (JEITA).
     When changing the folder name or file 
    name on PC, the pictures may not be 
    played back.
     The file format that can be played back 
    with this camera is JPEG. (There are 
    also pictures that cannot be played 
    back in JPEG format.)
     When playing back pictures that have 
    been recorded with other equipment, 
    the picture quality may be deteriorated 
    and pictures may not be played back.
     When playing back a file out of 
    standard, the folder/file number is 
    indicated by [—] and the screen may 
    turn black.
     The interference fringe may appear on 
    the screen depending on the subject. 
    This is called moire. This is not a 
    malfunction.
