46 Getting the Most from Digital Imag es: Y our Camera and Y our Computer ( 164) As the name would indicate, digital cameras produce digital images. As digital data, digital images can be readily copi.
47 Once the camera is connected, a camer a icon will appear in the My Computer window (Windo ws computer s) or on the desk- top (Macintosh computer s).
48 Viewing Photos on TV ( 162) The COOLPIX 880 can be connected to a television or VCR using the EG-900 video cable provided with your camera. While the camera is connected, the television will show the same image as the camera’s monitor .
49 T aking Photogr aphs for E-Mail and the W eb Y our camer a stores images in TIFF and JPEG for mats, which can be view ed with a wide variety of imaging software . JPEG images can even be display ed in web browser s such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer .
50 T aking Photogr aphs for Printing When taking photographs that are to be reproduced on a per sonal color pr inter , two factor s need to be kept in mind: image size and contrast. Image size ( 140) deter mines the maxim um size at which the image can be printed.
51 This section details the settings a vailable in shooting, playback, and setup modes. It also descr ibes how to connect your camera to exter nal devices such as computer s and television sets, and explains how to care for your camera and what to do when it does not function as expected.
52 In digital zoom, data from the camer a’ s image sensor are processed digitally , enlar ging the center por - tion of the image to fill the frame . Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of detail visible in the photograph.
53 Optical Zoom Photos can be framed in the viewfinder or monitor using the zoom buttons. Indicator in monitor displa ys amount of zoom while ei- ther button is pressed Digital Zoom At the maximum optical z oom position, holding the button do wn for two seconds trigger s digital zoom.
54 Digital zoom enlarges the center por tion of the image to fill the frame . Because only the center por tion of the image appear s in the final photograph, center -weighted metering ( 86) is used, and the center focus area is automatically selected.
55 P 1/60 F 2.8 NORMAL NORMAL [ 10 ] Thr o wing Light on Y our Subject: The Flash Button The flash can be adjusted for a variety of shooting situations, as described on the following pages. T o change the flash setting, press the button, located above the monitor on the back of the camera.
56 The following flash settings are a vailable (restrictions may apply in SCENE mode depending on the scene selected): Setting Ho w It W orks When to Use It Auto Flash fires when lighting is poor Best choice in most circumstances Keep your f inger s and other objects awa y from the flash window when using the flash.
57 When lighting is poor and the flash is set to “Off ” ( ) or “Slow Sync” ( ), shutter speeds slow and photos may be blurred. If possible , use a tr ipod when lighting is poor . At speeds of below 1 / 4 s, the shutter -speed indicator in the monitor tur ns yello w .
58 F ocusing Near and Far: The F ocus-Mode Button By default, the camera adjusts focus automatically for subjects 40 cm (16˝) or more from the lens, which is ideal for snapshots.
59 The following f ocus modes are availab le (restr ictions may apply in SCENE mode depending on the scene selected): Setting Ho w It W orks When to Use It Dela y shutter release by 10 s or 3 s in aut.
60 Autofocus Mode The autofocus system operates in one of two modes: Pros and Cons AF Mode Ho w It W orks PR O Minimizes time r equired to focus CON Photos can be tak en ev en when camera is not in fo.
61 Autofocus performs best when: • There is contr ast between the subject and the background. For example , autofocus may not per - form well on subjects that are the same color as the background. • The subject is evenly lit. Autofocus does not perform well when: • The f ocus area contains objects at different distances from the camer a.
62 Dela ying Shutter Release: Self-Timer Mode The COOLPIX 880 is equipped with an automatic timer with two settings: three seconds (good for reducing camera shake) and ten seconds (ideal for self-por traits).
63 P 1/60 F 2.8 NORMAL NORMAL [ 10 ] 3 3 Compose the photograph 4 Start the timer Fully depress the shutter -release button to activate the timer . Press the shutter -release b utton once for a ten-second delay , twice for a three-second delay . T o stop the timer , press the shutter -release button a third time.
64 Bright, Dark, and High-Contrast Subjects: Exposure Compensation T o obtain the desired result with cer tain subject compositions (for example , when lar ge areas of the frame are ver y bright, ver y dar k, or contain areas of strong contrast), it may be necessar y to alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera.
65 By default, exposure compensation returns to ± 0.0 EV when the mode dial is turned to a new setting or the camera is tur ned off. If desired, the camer a can be set to “remember” the exposure-compensa- tion value ( 155), restor ing it the next time the mode dial is set to A UT O , SCENE, P , A, or CSM (exposure mode P or A).
66 Choosing a F ocus Area: Manual F ocus-Area Selection In AUT O mode , the camera automatically focuses on the subject in the center focus area, shown by the focus target in the viewfinder .
67 Focus-area selection can be used in combination with focus lock if the subject w ould not fall in any of the focus areas in the f inal composition. In P , A, M, and CSM modes, it can also be used in combination with spot AF-area metering ( 86) to lock the spot metering point to the selected focus area.
68 Advanced Photogra ph y P , A, M, and CSM This chapter details settings a vailable only in P , A, M, and CSM modes. In addition to the settings discussed in the previous chapter , in these modes the.

72 Choosing a Shutter Speed In manual mode, shutter speed is chosen by pressing the m ulti selector up or down while holding the button. Options r ange from 8 s to 1 / 1000 s in increments equivalent to 1 EV (one step). In addition, a shutter speed of “bulb” is a vailable for long-time exposures (see tip on follo wing page).
73 When the shutter speed is set to bulb (manual-exposure mode onl y), the shutter will remain open while the shutter -release button is pressed (maximum exposure 60 s).
74 Reacting Faster to Light: Sensitivity (ISO Equivalency) What Is “Sensitivity”? “Sensitivity” is a measure of ho w quickly y our camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity , the less light needed to make an exposure, allowing the same exposure to be achiev ed with higher shutter speeds or smaller aper tures.
75 The following settings are a vailable: Setting Description AUTO (default) Equivalent to setting of 100 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor , how- ev er , camera automatically raises sensitivity to compensate. ISO icon appears in contr ol panel and monitor only when sensitivity raised abov e 100.
76 F ocusing at a Preset Distance: Manual F ocus In P , A, M, and CSM modes, manual focus can be used in place of autofocus f or situations in which y ou know the distance to y our subject. Focus distance can be selected from for ty-eight preset distances, r anging from 0.
77 The value display ed for manual f ocus-distance is the approximate distance from the front of the lens. The actual focus distance may diff er slightly from the value sho wn; check focus in the monitor before shooting. Manual focus can be cancelled b y pressing the button.
78 The Shooting Menu In P , A, M, and CSM modes, many adjustments to camera settings are made from the shooting menu. There are two shooting menus, one for P , A, and M modes, the other for CSM mode . Save where noted on the following pages, the contents of these menus are identical.
