Olympus c-5000 Instructions

Program Mode: The camera automatically sets the most suitable combination of aperture value and shutter speed according to the brightness of the subject. Other functions, such as flash modes and drive modes, can be adjusted manually.

A/S/M Modes are pre-selected in the camera menu (see the Characteristics section of the review) Aperture Priority : lets the user set the aperture while the camera handles the shutter speed. Shutter Priority: lets the user set the shutter speed while the camera selects the aperture. Manual Mode: provides complete control over both shutter speed and aperture. Over or underexposure is indicated on the LCD monitor.

My Mode: allows saving customized settings for 25 specific options, and recalling them by setting the mode dial to this position. Auto Mode: lets the camera handle everything. User can only set the image size and quality (JPEG only). Portrait Shooting: uses a wide aperture to achieve a sharp subject and a blurred background. Sports Shooting: automatically selects a high shutter speed to capture fast moving action. Landscape + Portrait Shooting: similar to the Landscape mode, both foreground and background are maintained in focus through the use of a smaller aperture, but without the extra emphasis of blues and greens. Landscape Shooting: is to record both foreground and a distant background in focus. Blues and greens are slightly emphasized. Night Scene Shooting: allows fuss-free night shots. The C-5000 selects an appropriate shutter speed for the scene, noise reduction, and sets the white balance appropriately. Self-Portrait Shooting: allows taking a self portrait while holding the camera at arm's length. The zoom is fixed at the wide angle position. Movie Mode: serves to record video clips without sound. Focusing and the optical zoom position are locked at the first frame, but if enabled, the digital zoom can be used. Two frame sizes are offered, HQ (320 x 240 pixels) which captures a 32 second clip, and SQ (160 x 120 pixels) which can record 140 seconds. Playback Mode: plays photos and videos recorded and provides editing controls. (See the Characteristics section of the review for additional information on the options of the Playback mode).
