Using the Camera

1Slide the Power switch sideways to turn the

camera on.

2Set the Mode switch to “q”.

h Focal range: approx. 60 cm (2.0 ft.) to infinity

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the

camera with both hands. Position your right thumb

so that it is handy for using the zoom.

●

Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture

(camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera shake,

particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash

mode is Suppressed flash.

●

There may be some uneven brightness at the right edge of

the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not affect the

image.

●

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as

informed on P.88.

●

If the flash is used in dusty conditions or when it is snowing,

white dots may appear in the image due to flash reflecting off

the dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed flash

mode.

Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do

not cover the lens or flash. If the lens or flash is

obscured, the brightness (exposure) of your shot

may be incorrect.

Press Zoom switch “[ (a)” to zoom in. Press “]

(b)” to zoom out. A zoom bar appears on the LCD

monitor.

h Optical zoom focal length

(35 mm camera equivalent)

Approx. 38 mm-130 mm

Max. zoom scale: 3.4×

●

Zooming pauses briefly when the camera changes between

optical zoom and digital zoom (➡P.25). Press the same

Zoom switch again to change zoom modes.

Zoom bar

●

Use Macro mode for subjects closer than 60 cm (2.0 ft.)

(➡P.31).

●

When “7”, “-”, “q”

or “

=” appears, see P.91.

Press the shutter button down fully. When a

clicking noise is heard, the camera records the

image.

●

There is a slight delay between the shutter button being

pressed and the picture being taken. Play back the shot to

check the image.

●

When pressing the shutter button down fully in one motion,

the picture is taken without the AF frame changing.

●

When the camera takes the picture, the viewfinder lamp lights

orange (shooting disabled). The viewfinder lamp then turns

green and the next picture can be taken.

●

When taking a picture using the flash, the image may

disappear and go dark as the flash charges. The viewfinder

lamp then blinks orange.

●

See P.91, 92 for information on the warning displays.

Click

Use the LCD monitor to frame the shot so that the

subject fills the entire AF (Autofocus) frame.

●

The image shown on the LCD monitor before the picture is

taken may differ in brightness, color, etc. from the image

actually recorded. Play back the recorded image to check it

(➡P.26).

●

The subject may sometimes be difficult to see clearly on the

LCD monitor (in bright sunlight or dimly lit scenes, etc.). If so,

use the viewfinder to take the picture.

Ｎ１２Ｎ１２

AF frame

Press the shutter button down halfway. When a

short double-beep is heard, the camera focuses on

your subject. The AF frame on the LCD monitor

becomes smaller and the viewfinder lamp (green)

changes from blinking to lit.

●

If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “{”

appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.

●

Pressing the shutter button down halfway freezes the image

on the LCD monitor briefly. This image is not the recorded

image.

●

If “{” appears on the LCD monitor (e.g. the shot is too dark

for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from

the subject to take the picture.

●

The flash fires several times (pre-flashes and the main flash).

◆

Subjects not suitable for autofocus

◆

The FinePix F450 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty

focusing on the following:

h Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car

body

h Subjects photographed through glass

h Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair

or fur

h Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or

flames

h Dark subjects

h Fast moving subjects

h Subjects with little or no contrast between the

subject and the background (such as white

walls or subjects dressed in the same color as

the background)

h Shots where another high-contrast object (not

the subject) is close to the AF frame and is

either closer or further away than your subject

(such as a shot of someone against a

background with strongly contrasting

elements)

For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➡P.24).
