TAKING PICTURES
(
AUTO MODE
)
STILL PHOTOGRAPHY MODE
In a shot with this type of composition, the subjects
(two people in this case) are not in the AF frame. If
the shot is taken at this point, the subjects will not
be in focus.
USING AF/AE LOCK
Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.
When you press the Shutter button down halfway,
the camera emits a short double-beep and focuses
on your subject. At that point, the AF frame on the
screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the
shutter speed and aperture (the indicator lamp
(green) changes from blinking to lit.).
Continue to hold the Shutter button down halfway
(AF/AE lock). Move the camera back to the original
image and then fully press down on the Shutter
button.
●
!
You can reapply the AF/AE lock as many times as you like
before releasing the shutter.
●
!
The AF/AE lock operates in all Photography modes and can
be used to ensure excellent results.

AF/AE Lock
◆
On the FinePix S5000, when you press the Shutter button down half way, the focus and exposure
settings are fixed (AF/AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is off to one side of the image or if
you want to set the exposure before you compose the final shot, lock the AF and AE settings and then
compose and shoot your picture to get the best results.
USING THE ZOOM
(
OPTICAL ZOOM/DIGITAL ZOOM
)
Press the “T” or “W” button to zoom in and out.
The digital zoom can be used with the “3”, “2”
and “1” quality mode setting.
When zooming switches between optical and digital,
the “■” indicator stops. Pressing the same zoom
button again starts the “■” indicator moving again.
●
!
The digital zoom cannot be used with the “5” setting.

See P.30-31 for information on changing the Quality mode
setting.

If the shot goes out of focus during zooming, hold the Shutter
button down halfway to refocus the shot.

ASSIST ILLUMINATOR
When the Shutter button is pressed down halfway
in dimly lit conditions, the camera fires the AF-
Assist Illuminator (green) to allow easier focusing at
shooting distances of up to roughly 2 m depending
on subject.
However, the AF-Assist Illuminator is not effective
when the zoom is set to telephoto (high
magnification : 6× or more). Wherever possible,
pictures should be taken using a wide-angle zoom
setting (low magnification).
●
!
When “{” is displayed even with the AF-Assist Illuminator
used, the camera cannot focus. When this occurs, take the
picture at a distance of around 2 m from the subject.
