Optional: In very dark environments, you can increase the sensitivity of the cameras
CCD by selecting a higher ISO value. This is usually recommended only if an
acceptably bright image cannot otherwise be achieved, since the higher ISO value
will result in a grainier (less smooth) image. You can manually set the ISO by holding
the “ISO” button on the back of the camera and dialing different settings with the
common dial.
For Outdoor or Bright lighting conditions:
•
Set the camera to Program (“P”) mode. You can set the camera to Program
mode by holding down the mode button, the rotating the Common dial until the
letter “P” is seen on the lower left hand corner of both LCD screens.
Optional Menu Settings
By pressing the "MENU" button just above the color LCD screen, you will have access to
a few more settings you may find useful. While in these menus, use the Multi selector
button to scroll up and down and to make your selection:
•
Under fluorescent lights, the final image sometimes has a bluish tinge. Consider
using the “fluorescent” white balance setting for a warmer-looking indoor picture.
•
Set the Sharpness value to "High".
•
Matrix Metering (the default) gives the best results for OneShot360 images
•
Under the "SET UP" sub-menu, you may want to change the "AUTO OFF"
setting to a longer time period such as 5 minutes. Although this feature helps to
save battery life, the default value (30 seconds) may not be enough time to set up
for a OneShot360 image, at least until you are more familiar with the process.
•
Also under the "SET UP" sub-menu, there is an option called "CONTROLS"
which leads to another sub-menu. You may want to check the first three options in
this sub-menu. This will maintain your flash, mode (aperture priority) and focus
settings even if you turn the camera on and off between shots. However, you will
still have to place the camera in manual focus mode every time you want to use
the timer for a shot (because the timer switches off after every shot, and pressing
the timer/M-focus button to re-enable the timer switches the camera back in to
auto-focus mode).
