This means that you will get good results for most subjects and lighting without the need to go into the menus and change any settings. However, we recommend that you become familiar with the available options so that you can improve your photos if, for example, you decide they are coming out too dark (common for snow scenes with most cameras), or too green (under many fluorescent lights). Use down or up arrow buttons to highlight an option within the menu, then press Menu if you wish to change the settings for that option. Use the Left/Right arrow to select the setting you want, then press Menu to confirm this setting. The main, or camera, menu also contains a submenu, called "Setup", which contains the items you are most likely to need to set just once. Here are the options and settings available in the main menu and its Setup submenu. MENU MAIN Option EV Settings -2. 0 ~ +2. 0 (Default= 0 EV) VH, H, M, L Description Provides manual under/over exposure adjustment in 0. 5 EV steps. Very High (2272x1760), High (2048x1536), Medium (1280x1024), Low (640x480). Higher resolution settings produce sharper/larger prints but require more storage space in internal or card memory. Use lower settings to store more in memory, or for email, PC viewing only, etc. Resolution 12 Imageview 110833+110834 1LIM fin12 12 3/5/07 1:58:36 PM Main Menu continued MENU Option White Bal(ance) (Default Settings in Bold) Settings Description Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Sets the reference for neutral white, so that colors Fluorescent, Tungsten are reproduced correctly. If "Auto" does not provide good results, try the setting that matches the light source. Multi, Spot, Center Sets what area of the framed subject is used to determine exposure. "Multi" uses multiple zones, "Spot" uses only the center area (good for strong backlit situations), and "Center" bases the exposure 60% on the center of the frame, 40% on the rest of the frame.

[. . . ] with "No" and use the "Save As" dialog box to save the edited photo in a folder on your hard drive ("Save In>Local Disk"), not the "Removable Disk" (camera). If you are new to photo editing on a computer, consult your software's Help menu (PhotoSuite has extensive built-in Help) for tips on using its features. Along with adjusting the brightness, contrast, sharpness and color of your photos, you can resize the photo to fit the paper if you are printing, or save a smaller, low or medium resolution version for email or inserting into documents. When you are ready to save your edited file, you may want to use "Save As" and give it a more descriptive name than "IMG___". [. . . ]
