INDEX DISPLAY If you prefer to view your images quickly and more than one at a time, you have the option of viewing them in Index Display. To do this while in review mode, just press the Index button a few times (A) and you can view up to nine images at a time (B). To view any image up close, just highlight it, press the Set button, and it will bring you back to the default display mode.

Chapter 1 Challenges Let’s begin our shooting assignments by setting up and using all of the elements of the Top Ten list. If you’re not yet familiar with the shooting modes (more information on them will be covered in Chapter 3, “Camera Shooting Modes”), then go ahead and set your camera to the P (Program) mode. This will allow you to interact with the various settings and menus that have been covered thus far.
Basic camera setup Charge your battery to 100 percent and register it in the camera. Next, set up your camera to address the following: shooting without a card, image quality, ISO, and color space.
Selecting the proper white balance Take your camera outside into a daylight environment and photograph the same scene using different white balance settings. Pay close attention to how each setting affects the overall colorcast of your images. Next, try moving inside and repeat the exercise while shooting in a tungsten lighting environment. Finally, find a fluorescent light source and repeat once more.
