Rotate the camera to rotate the image.
the samE auto rotation is avaiable, or not, for your images
Move the slider to bottom position.
Press MENU, use collar ring sleeve, navigate across the folder to the tools.(Mute, LCD, Power, etc.)
Scroll down, this third folde,r to the Auto rotate option. Select on/off.
This option will rotate, or not, your pictures on the LCD..TRY IT NOW.
also Set the "LENS RETRACT" option directly below the auto rotate option.
Set the Lens retrct option to 0 seconds protecting the lens as the camera is shut off.
ONE OF OUR FAVORITE FEATURES IS ....the "no lens cap to lose", auto protect
also scroll up to the "Clock Display" to secondes. This is the clock you saw in step one
Clock Display sets how long the clock will display when you turn on, holding the FUNC.SET
Take picture, or have pictures on your camera.
Move slider to bottom position. Push the DISP. button until you see the blue and white graph??
1)the graph is big on the left, THEN image is TOO DARK
3)the graph is big on the right THEN the image is TOO LIGHT
2)the graph is level across,,, THEN the image has PERFECT exposure
The great thing about the SD1000 is you are able to take a picture, and even if you cant see the LCd ( bright sun ) the graph will show tell you what to do..
Turn camera on, and move the slider to the top position
Push FUNC.SET to bring up the menus and set camera to MANUAL.
Use the collar ring sleeve to scroll DOWN the left side menu.
The second setting here is EXPOSURE.
You can now use the collar ring sleeve to adjust the EXPOSURE.
If the image was too dark increase exposure moving right
If the image was too light decrease exposure, by moving left
Look above ..see the "YOU CAN PROGRAM THIS BUTTON"......(in the picture?)
turn camera on, move slider to top, press MENU button.
Use the collar ring sleeve to scroll DOWN 11 spots.
You will see "Set___button......press FUNC.SET
Select which function you want the button to control.
Use the FUNC.SET button to "set" your custom button.
Look page 67 of the guide for all of the functions, BUT....
I use it for +/-(Exp)..the exposure adjustment.
You can QUICKLY adjust exposure, while in manual, skipping the steps explained above.
While you are in manual picture mode, push the custom button....adjust the exposure.
This is really fun....
Turn camera on, move slider to the top, press MENU.
Set the AiAf variable to "FACE DETECT"
Point and zoom the camera at the TV, and watch the LCD screen.
If there are clear picture of human faces are on the TV ( yes a regular television set) the you will see a white box appear around ALL of the faces on the screen. If you have test subjects ( your family/friends ) point the camera at them and see the white boxes appear. This is amazing technology. the camera knows this is a face, and will focus adjust accordingly. HOW KEWL IS THAT???
In macro, and some other modes, there is a fixed focus setting.
This setting allows you to focus on a specific target, and FIX the focus.
more coming as we find time to type/explain......
