AVERAGEThe advantage of this mode is that theexposure tends not to change for differentcompositions or subjects. This mode is

particularly effective for shots of peoplewearing black or white clothing and shots ofscenery.SPOTThis mode is useful for subjects with

strongly contrasting light and dark areaswhere you want to achieve the correctexposure for a particular feature.MULTIIn this mode, the camera uses automaticscene recognition to analyze the subjectand provide optimum exposure in a widerange of shooting conditions. This modeshould be used for everyday photography.

This mode can be selected in the 3 photography mode.Use this mode for scenes where the brightnessof the subject and background differ markedly sothat the Multi setting is unlikely to achieve thedesired result.

Press the

MENU/OK

button to confirm the setting.! This setting can be selected in still photography mode.

! There are 8 combinations of file size and qualitysettings in total ( P.30).

To produce high-quality printsUse the largest possible image size and a lowcompression rate (FINE or NORMAL). However,because this results in large file sizes for eachframe, the number of available shots is reduced.

For use on the InternetThese images are intended to be viewed on aPC monitor, so you should use a small file size[640 480]. Because this reduces the amount ofdata in each frame, the remaining number ofavailable frames is increased.

Quality (compression ratio)For better image quality, select FINE. For moreimages per SmartMedia card, select BASIC.Normally, the NORMAL setting provides ampleimage quality.
