About Red-eye Reduction

About Red-eye Redu ction

About Red-eye Redu ctionAbout Red-eye Reduction

Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the

retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs two pre-flash operations, one designed to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close, and one for the Auto Focus operation. This is followed by another flash operation for

actual recording of the image.

Multi (Multi-pattern):

Multi (Multi-pattern):Multi (Multi-pattern):

Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera automatically determines shooting conditions according to the measured

lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting conditions.

Center weighted (Center-weighted):

Center weighted (Center-weighted):Center weighted (Center-weighted):

Center-weighted metering measures light concentrating on the center of the focus area. Use this metering method when you want to exert some

control over exposure, without leaving settings totally up to the camera.

Spot (Spot):

Spot (Spot):Spot (Spot):

Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering method

when you want exposure to be set according to the brightness of a particular subject, without it being affected by surrounding conditions.

The letters "DPOF" stand for "Digital Print Order Format", which is a format for recording on a memory card or other medium which digital camera images should be printed and how many copies of the image should be printed. Then you can print on a DPOF-compatible printer or at a professional print service in accordance with the file name and number of copies settings recorded on the card.

With this camera, you should always select images by viewing them on the monitor screen. Do not specify images by file name without viewing the file contents.

Your camera supports USB DIRECT-PRINT. When connected directly to a printer that supports USB DIRECT-PRINT, you can select images to be printed and start the print operation directly from the camera.

• Use of the optional Alkaline batteries or a AC adaptor is recommended when printing with USB DIRECTPRINT.

1. Use the DPOF procedure on page 31 to specify the

images in file memory that you want to print.

2. Load Alkaline batteries or connect the AC adaptor to the

camera.

3. Use the USB cable that comes with the camera to connect

it to a printer.

4. Turn on the printer.

5. Press the camera's power button.

• This displays the print menu on the camera's monitor screen.

6. On the camera's monitor screen, select "Print", and then

press [SET].

• This automatically starts printing of the images you specified with the DPOF procedure.

• A message appears on the monitor screen, followed by the DPOF setting screen, if there are no DPOF settings currently configured on the camera to control the printing operation. If this happens, configure the required DPOF settings and then perform step 5 of the above procedure again.

7. The camera will turn off automatically when printing is complete.

Important!

Important!Important!

• The camera's monitor screen will go blank after printing starts. A blank monitor screen

does not necessarily mean that printing is complete. Check the status of your printer to find out if printing is complete.

You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by using a commercially available memory card (SD memory card or

MultiMediaCard). You can also copy files from built-in flash memory to a memory card and from a memory card to flash memory.

• Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When you insert a memory card, however, the camera automatically stores files to the card.

• Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.

• Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.

• Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds.

• SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card, you must remove write protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its files.
