Specifying Camera settings

   Specify the settings.

2. Refer to the following subsections for a brief description of each setting.
3. To apply these settings to the camera, click the APPLY button.

Picture type—Choose the type of picture—Still, Burst, or Timelapse—that you want to take. This field defaults to Still when you turn the camera off. You can also set this setting through the Capture mode settings on the camera.

White Balance—White Balance examines your pictures and tries to adjust the color balance to remove the color casts that the current lighting conditions add. Use Automatic when taking pictures under a variety of lighting conditions. Use Daylight when taking pictures outdoors. Use Fluorescent when taking pictures under fluorescent light. Use Tungsten when taking pictures under normal incandescent light. Off makes no white balance adjustment. You can also set this setting through the Capture mode settings on the camera.

Flash mode—The mode in which you want the camera's flash to operate. Auto causes the flash to fire only when there is not enough light. Fill causes the flash to fire for every picture. Red-eye Reduction causes the flash to fire twice—once 600 milliseconds before the picture is taken to constrict the subject's pupils, and once when the picture is taken. Off turns the flash off. You can also set this setting through the Capture mode settings and through the SCROLL and SELECT buttons on the camera.

Focus (DC260 only)—Single spot determines the focus position using the subject in the center of the lens. Multi-spot determines the focus position using three positions on the lens. Manual allows you to specify the focus position from the pull down menus. You can also set this setting through the Capture mode settings on the camera.

Macro (DC220 only)—On disables the zoom control and places the lens in the macro position. Off enables the zoom control and sets the lens position to 28mm. This is also known as Close-up mode. You can also set this setting through the SCROLL and SELECT buttons on the camera.

Advanced capture mode—Programmed AE automatically determines the appropriate shutter speed and aperture settings but allows you to choose an exposure compensation value from a drop down list. Long time exposure allows you to select the shutter speed setting from a drop down list. External flash (DC260 only) allows you select the aperture setting from a drop down list. You can also set this setting through the Capture mode settings on the camera.

Zoom—The position of the zoom lens. The DC220 ranges from 28mm to 58mm in four steps. The DC260 ranges from 38mm to 115mm in six steps.
