If you zoom in too much, you will lose part of the field of view. Ifyou zoom in too little, you will not get maximum resolution. Note also that theOneShot image may not be exactly centered in the LCD screen – this is normal.• Set the white balance. Automatic setting is usually adequate.• Disable the flash.• There are two ways you can focus your OneShot image.One is to manually set the distance by holding the “M-focus” button and dialing ina distance with the common dial. A distance of 20 feet to infinity isrecommended for most shots. If you are shooting objects closer than 5 feet youmay want to choose a closer distance to focus on.Another way to set focus is to press the “M-focus” button continuously untilbrackets appear in the LCD window. These brackets represent different regionsof the image over which you may choose to focus. You can toggle betweendifferent brackets by using the Multi selector button. It is not recommended tochoose the center bracket because this only focuses on the mirror itself.Note: The button for placing the camera in manual focus mode is the same as that forsetting the timer. If you want to use both the timer and a manual focus setting, you mustenable the timer first by pressing the “m-focus” button until you see the timer icon in theLCD, then hold the button and dial in the focus distance. Pressing the “M-focus” buttonagain will set camera back to auto focus mode.For Indoor or lower lighting conditions:• Set the camera to aperture priority (“A”) mode. This is done by holding downthe "MODE" button and rotating the common dial until the letter "A" appearsin the lower left hand corner of the LCD screen. You can see the aperturevalue in the lower middle portion of the color LCD. We recommend using anaperture setting of f5.5 or higher when light conditions allow. Take care towatch the shutter speed when in aperture priority mode. If the light level islow, you may need a tripod when the shutter speed is slower than 1/125sec.
