Introduction
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048 x 1536 resolution images using a 3.3 Megapixels CCD
imager. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5" TFT color image LCD monitor, you can compose
images and then examine them in detail. An auto-flash sensor automatically detects the shooting (lighting)
conditions and determines whether the flash should be used. This feature helps ensure that your images
turn out right.
16MB internal (built-in) memory lets you capture and store images without the need for an additional
memory card. However, you may wish to expand the memory capacity by using an external memory card.
In addition to still images, you can record short videos using the movie function.
Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB driver required for
Win 98 and Mac OS 8.6) You can enhance and retouch your images on your computer by using the
provided editing software, or image editing software you may already own. You may share your images
with your friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website.
DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the
memory card.

EN-24
The camera has five flash modes: Automatic Flash, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow Sync, Forced Flash (On) and
Flash Off. The table below will help choose the appropriate flash mode:
Flash mode Description
Auto flash The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions. Select this
mode for general photography.
Red-eye reduction "Red-eye" (when the eyes of people in photographs are red) happens when
people are photographed in dark places using a flash, and is caused by the light of
the flash reflecting the eyes. In this flash mode, the flash is emitted automatically
according to the conditions and red-eye is reduced. Red-eye reduction is most
effective when the people being photographed are looking into the camera, and
when you photograph from as close as possible.
Slow Sync The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.
This flash mode is effective when taking pictures so that not only the subject but
also the background are both clearly reproduced in artificial light (backlighting,
fluorescent lighting, etc.) or with people against the night as a background scene.
Forced flash The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select this
mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.
Flash off The flash will not fire. Select this mode when taking images in a place where flash
photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the
effective range of the flash.
EN-25
Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio
for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored in memory, or on an SD
memory card. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution
setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images.
Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but produce large files
sizes. Therefore, fewer images will take up more memory space.
High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest
detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing
images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page.
To change image resolution and quality settings:
1. Set the mode dial to the mode or the mode.
2. Press the button.
3. Move to IMAGE SIZE or QUALITY with the or button, and press the button.
4. Change the settings with the or button and then press the button.
5. Press the button again to exit from the menu mode.
6. Compose your image.
7. Press the shutter button.
EN-26
Number of Recordable Images
The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the internal memory
or the SD memory card at the camera's image quality and size settings. The number of recordable images
may vary depending on the recorded subject and the capacity of the memory card, or if there are files other
than images, or when the recording is made while switching the picture quality/resolution.
