FILM SPEEDNight Scene ModeWhen shooting night scenes you may sometimes be dis-appointed with the result, usually because the camera'sautomatic exposure function works on a standardexposure ratio. In such situations a professional photo-grapher would adjust for exposure compensation basedon personal experience, or select the manual shootingmode.In the night scene mode, exposure compensation is auto-matically adjusted for attractive night scene photography.For example, when shooting a subject with a night sceneas its background, the use of the flash is often desirable.Should that be the case, the camera performs the mostsuitable exposure compensation for both the subject andthe background. Since the selected shutter speed may bevery slow, the camera should be held firmly in position(with a tripod for example) to prevent blurring.Stop Action ModeThis mode is ideal for capturing high-speed photoopportunities such as sports scenes and children at play.A fast shutter speed is automatically selected to "freeze"the action on film.Landscape ModeThis mode is ideal when you want to focus on both thesubject and the background or when you want to shootnatural scenery with low contrast. The camera automati-cally stops down the aperture to make the range of focusas large as possible. In shooting conditions for this mode,the subjects are likely be at a distance of (infinity), sothe autofocus function in this mode starts from theposition.Film SpeedFilm speed is indicated on the back of filmpackages. ISO 100, ISO 200, and ISO 400 are themost common. High-speed film (ISO 400), asimplied by its name, is for taking photos of fast-moving subjects in action shots, for example.However, there are also other advantages. Withhigh-speed film, such as ISO 400, it is possible totake pictures in lower light. And the distancecovered by the flash will be greater. Generally, thehigher the film speed, the grainier the picture.With this camera, we recommend the use of "DX"film cartridges: ISO 25 ~ 3200. In the case of non-DX-coded film, the camera will automatically be setto film speed ISO 32.46
