It's written to be listened to while you've got your camera in your hands, so as I talk about features, menu options and techniques you can practice along at the same time.Hi Just got my first digicam Fujifilm Finepix S700 (S5700) which is not a DSLR but has a lot of advanced functions and looks great colorwise and quality. Update: New Audio User Guide / Manual For The S5700 / S700: DOWNLOAD NOW HALF PRICE Ive re-recorded and updated my Fujifilm Finepix S5700 / S700 audio User Guide, and packed it all together on one simple download, or CD, all for the bargain price of &163 10 GBP, (including.

I really enjoy setting the shutter speed. As understood, attainment does not recommend that you have wonderful points.It is very user friendly though with some instructions right on the viewing screen.

Press the menu button and make sure the 'Photometry' is set to 'Multi'. Turn the Mode Dial to 'A' for Aperture Priority. Also check that 'AF Mode' is 'Center'.Exposure. Press the menu button again, and check that 'Focusing Mode' is 'Single AF'. While you're in the 'f' menu, change the colour mode to 'f-chrome', it looks better, and also make sure the quality is set to 7m (F).Focus. We always want to be shooting at below ISO 400 to avoid noise, so press and hold the 'f' button and change to ISO 64.

This can also help to 'compress' the scene.It's also a good idea to avoid the extreme wide-angle (zoomed all the way out), because at the extremes the lens distorts the image slightly - your horizon will appear curved.Next up I think about aperture. I may be forced into using wide angle if I haven't got room to manoeuvre, but if say I'm taking a picture of a building and I don't want the perspective to be distorted by being too close and having to look up, I'll walk back and use some zoom. I'll look for some foreground interest to give some depth to the scene, then I'll think about the Focal Length and Aperture I want to use.First up, focal length, or how much zoom to use. I'll have a walk-round to get the best angle and height for a good composition. Change the aperture to 3.5 then press the Exposure Compensation Button again to lock in these changes.3) I'll clean my lens, my filters, and the inside of my lens cap, then we're ready to shoot!So, I'm faced with something I want to photograph, say a nice landscape shot.

If the cameras on a tripod I'll use the shutter delay button to minimise shake. I'll make sure the grid-lines are up (press the 'disp / back' button) to get my horizons / verticals right. If I've got to go hand-held, I'll go up to ISO 200, and if the warning is still lit up I'll start to make the aperture larger until the warning goes off.Now I'll check the composition. If using this small aperture causes the 'Camera Shake' warning icon to come on (the little yellow camera) I'll whip out my tripod. The S5700 has a pretty massive DoF anyway, so it only really matters if there's something quite close that I want to be in focus as well as the horizon, so then I'll dial in F6.8 or 13.6 - small aperture, large Depth of Field.

( See my article on Photo Backup.)Then I'll start editing with Photoshop Elements / Photoshop or Photomatix - See ' The Course' for details. If the flash is too bright / too dim, I'll go into the menu, go to the flash setting and reduce or increase the brightness of the flash.If I'm happy I'll try a few different compositions then head on to the next location.As soon as I get home I copy the photos to my hard drive, burn them to CD and upload them to private Flickr folders for archiving. I'll go to manual mode, set the exposure to avoid blown highlights, then use the flash to light up the close subject. Sharp? Great! Now turn the camera on its side and take a portrait orientation shot, or vice-versa.If while reducing the exposure to avoid the blinkies my close foreground subject becomes too dark, I'll think about using 'Fill Flash'. If there are blown out highlights I'll use the exposure compensation button to dial down the exposure a bit more, and check again.If the histogram looks OK, I'll go back to the main review screen and zoom in to make sure its in focus. I press the Exposure Compensation Button to bring up the Histogram to check for blinkies, or blown out areas.

Instead use a tripod, or increase your aperture to let more light in, or zoom out and crop back in later during Post Processing.Use the gridlines on the evf / lcd to help you get straight horizons and buildings (press the 'disp / back' button to cycle through the options).Always use a custom white balance when shooting indoors.Get a copy of Photoshop Elements for the best in affordable Post Processing.Join the Fujifilm S5700 / S700 Flickr Group.Take loads and loads of photographs and have fun with the camera!I hope this article has been useful and helped you get to know your camera a little better. ( see my article on Cokin A Filters).The yellow 'Camera Shake' warning is your friend - treat it with respect and you'll have sharper photos - but avoid ISO's higher than 200 if you can.
