Fujifilm FinePix S8500 4004859 User Manual

M (Scene Recognition) Mode

1 
•  When the side lever is set to H, M or L, the side lever 

functions as same as the zoom lever.

• When setting the side lever to H, the side lever can 

zoom faster than zoom lever. In the same way when 
setting the side lever to L, the side lever can zoom 
slower than zoom lever.

•  When using the zoom control and side lever simulta-

neously, the zoom control is activated.

2 Focus Lock
Use focus lock (

P 37) to focus on subjects that are not 

in the focus frame.

In the setup menu (

P 96), you can change the set-

ting of the side lever. Select 

W SIDE ZOOM LEVER 

then AUTO BACK to enable auto back zoom.  Auto 
back zoom allows the camera to zoom out and in 
quickly.  It makes it easy to find the lost subject when 
zooming in.

Hold the camera steady with 
both hands and brace your 
elbows against your sides. 

 

Shaking or unsteady hands 
can blur your shots.

To prevent pictures that are 
out of focus or too dark (un-
derexposed),  keep  your  fin-
gers and other objects away 
from the lens and flash.

If the subject is poorly lit, blurring caused by camera 
shake can be reduced using the 

L DUAL IS MODE 

option in the setup menu (

P 98).  In B mode, blur 

caused by subject movement is also reduced (dual 
IS mode).

Sensitivity is raised when dual IS is in effect.  Note that 
blurring may still occur depending on the scene.  We 
recommend that you turn dual IS off when using a 
tripod.
