146 The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended. In Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set automatically . 1 Select [Color space].
147 5 Advanced Operations In Creative Zone modes, you can change various settings of the camera as you desire to obtain a wide variety of shooting results, by selecting the shutter speed and/or aperture, adjusting the exposure as you prefer , etc.
148 The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. Th is is called P rogram AE. *< d > stands for Pro gram. * AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < d >. 2 Focus on the su bject.
149 d : Program AE Change the ISO speed . Use the built-in flash. T o match the subject and ambient lighting level, you can change the ISO speed (p.122) or use the built- in flash (p.166). In the < d > mode, the built-in flash will not fire automatically .
150 Y ou can either freeze the action or create motion blur with the < s > (Shutter-priority AE) mode on the Mode Dial. *< s > stands for T ime value. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < s >. 2 Set the desired shutter speed. See “Shooting T i ps” on the next p age for advice on setting the shutter speed.
151 s : Conveying the Subject’s Movement T o freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec. T o blur a running child or anim al and convey an impression of motion Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec.
152 T o blur the background or to make e verything near and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to < f > (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). *< f > stands for Ap erture val ue, which is the size of the diaphr agm hole i nside the le ns.
153 f : Changing the Depth of Field When using an aperture with a high f/num ber or shooting in low light scenes, note th at camera shake can occur . A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower . Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec.
f : Changing the Depth of Field 154 T o obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set automatically to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). T he shutter speed will be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness.
155 Y ou can set both the shutter speed and ape rture manually as desired. While referring to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder , you can set the exposure as desired. This method is called manual exposure. *< a > stands for Manu al.
a : Manual Exposure 156 T o obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set automatically (autoflash exposure) to match the manually-set apertur e. The shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec or bulb. A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold down the shutter button.
157 Four methods (metering modes) to measure the subj ect’s brightness are provided. Normally , evaluative metering is recommended. In Basic Zone modes, metering mode is set automatically . 1 Select [Mete ring mode]. Under the [ z 2 ] tab, select [ Metering mode ], then press < 0 >.
