| Get right up close to your subject, even if it's some distance away. The wide-ranging zoom of the DiMAGE F200 starts with 3X optical zoom and, once you've reached its limit, shifts seamlessly into 4X digital zoom in 0.1X increments. The user-friendly zoom lever makes it easy to take full control over how your picture is framed. |

| Perhaps you want your picture to look a bit brighter than normal. Or maybe not even in color at all. It's good to know that the DiMAGE F200 gives you a choice. Select from one of four modes to create the look you had in mind: Natural Color, Vivid Color, Black & White, or Sepia. |

|
| Shoot first, select later. That's the freedom you get with exposure bracketing, which produces three different exposures for each image. The original image is captured along with an over-exposed and under-exposed version. Brackets range from +/-0.3, 0.5, or 1.0 EV. |

 |
|
| When you want to focus on only a specific part of your subject, switch to manual focus. This feature also helps when you want to deliberately shoot something slightly out of focus. |
|
 |
|
| The DiMAGE F200 separates flash compensation from exposure compensation, enabling you to make even finer adjustments to the way your image is exposed. Flash compensation can be set in +-2EV increments within a 2EV range. |
|
 |
|
| Auto sensitivity is supplemented by four manual settings, allowing you to flexibly adjust the camera to different levels of lighting. Settings are the ISO-equivalents of 100, 200, 400, and 800. |

 |
|
| DEC lets you adjust three factors separately before each shot: contrast, saturation, and sharpness. Contrast and saturation can be altered in 3 steps. Apply the camera's 4 color modes to this, and you have an incredible variety of factors to experiment with. Effects can be checked on the LCD monitor prior to capture. |

|
| The DiMAGE F200 offers three types of light metering, so that you can obtain the right exposure under diverse lighting conditions. The three types are multi-segment metering (256 segments), spot metering, and center-weighted metering. |
|
 |
|
| Internal processing is accelerated by 16MB of SDRAM, ensuring comfortable operation with image capture and other functions. During playback, for example, you can shift through each image on your memory card in only 0.2 seconds, regardless of its size. Fast forwarding and rewinding of movie clips are rapid as well. |

|
| To get a better idea of how brightness is distributed in an image, you can access its histogram in playback mode. Viewing this display will help you obtain the shot you've envisioned. |
|
 |
|
| An object's whiteness will vary with different sources of lighting, but this shouldn't keep you from getting the colors you want. Control white balance using any of the camera's five preset selections (Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, and Fluorescent), or add a customized setting of your own. |
|
 |
|
| Program (P) mode optimizes shutter speed and aperture for you. In Aperture-priority (A) mode, you can alter the depth of field to suit your composition, and Shutter-priority (S) mode gives you control over shutter speed. To adjust both aperture and shutter speed yourself, select Manual (M). Long exposures (up to 15 seconds) can also be mode. |
