When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear  
red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use  
Red-Eye Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.

F HOW TO SPECIFY PRINT OPTIONS  
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format and refers to a format that is used for  
recording printing specifications for images shot using a digital camera on media such as  
SmartMedia. The recorded specifications include information on which frames are to be  
printed and how many prints of each frame are required.  
This section gives a detailed description of how to order your prints with the FinePix6900  
ZOOM.  
Note that some printers do not support date and time imprinting or specification of the  
number of prints.  
Note that the warnings shown below may be displayed while you are specifying the  
prints.  
(P.120)  
ß
When you erase the image, the DPOF setting for that image is deleted at the same time.  
(P.121)  
If you load a SmartMedia that contains frames specified for printing on another  
camera, those print specifications are all reset and replaced by the new print  
specifications.  
(P.121)

Explanation of Terms  
AF/AE Lock :  
On the FinePix6900 ZOOM, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and exposure  
settings (AF and AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the frame or change  
the picture composition after the exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing the  
composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.  
Auto Power Save If the camera is not used in any way for 30 seconds, this function switches features such as the LCD  
Function :  
monitor off (Sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power  
adapter is connected. If the camera is then left unused for a further period, the Auto Power Save  
function switches the camera off. This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on this camera.  
G
The Auto Power Off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it is  
disabled during setup.  
DPOF :  
EV :  
Digital Print Order Format  
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that  
allows you to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are printed and how many prints  
are made of each image.  
A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity  
(speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the  
brightness of the subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a  
constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed.  
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is  
halved, the EV decreases by 1.  
JPEG :  
Joint Photographics Experts Group  
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but  
the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image.  
Motion JPEG :  
PC Card :  
A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images  
in the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.  
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.  
PC Card Standard : A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.  
(
)
PCMCIA :  
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association US .  
White Balance :  
Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the  
other hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color  
balance to suit the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the  
white balance. A function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White  
112

Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC  
G
If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that  
has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on  
your camera.  
G
G
G
When you format a SmartMedia in the camera and  
then shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is  
automatically created. Image data is then recorded in  
this directory.  
Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names  
or file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this  
will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your  
camera.  
G
To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always  
use the special static-free case provided during  
transportation or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in  
a storage case if available.  
G
Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a  
trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to  
excessive force when you sit down, thereby  
damaging the SmartMedia.  
G
G
Always use the camera to erase image data on a  
SmartMedia.  
To edit image data, copy the image data to the  
computers hard disk and then edit the copied data.  
G
The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed  
from the camera after extended periods of picture  
taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not
