Using a Memory Card
■ Loading a Memory Card into the Camera
When a memory card is loaded, the camera stores images you
shoot on the card.
NOT
• Though the camera has built-in memory, using a memory
card provides additional capacity you can use to store more
images, high-quality and large-size images, and longer
movies.
• The camera will store images in its built-in memory if there
is no memory card loaded. If you prefer to use built-in
memory, skip this procedure and go to “Shooting a
Snapshot” on page 15.
• For information about memory card capacity, see page
259.
1. Open the battery cover.
While pressing lightly on the cover,
1
slide it in the direction indicated by
2
the arrow to open.
2. Load a memory card into the camera.

■ Formatting a Memory Card
Before you can use a memory card with your camera, you must
format it.
IMPORTANT!
• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or
other files on it, will delete its contents. Normally you do not
need to format a memory card again. However, if storing to
a card has slowed down or if you notice any other
abnormality, re-format the card.
• Be sure to perform the following procedure on the camera
to format the memory card.
5. Press [S] to select “Format” and then press
[SET].
• To cancel formatting, select “Cancel” and then press
[SET].
• Wait until the “Busy... Please wait...” message disappears
from the monitor screen before doing anything else.

Snapshot Image Size and Image Quality
Your camera lets you select from among various image size
and quality settings. Note that image size and quality
settings affect how many images can be stored in memory.
• You can change the image size and quality settings as
required to shoot a smaller or lower-resolution image for
attachment to an e-mail message, for publishing on a
website, etc. You can also select an image size that suits
the size of paper you plan to use for printing your images.
For details, see pages 62, 64, and 259.
How do I half-press the shutter button?
The shutter button is designed to stop about half way down
when you press it lightly. Stopping at this point is called a
“half-press”. When you half-press the shutter button, the
camera automatically adjusts exposure and focuses on the
subject it is currently pointed at.
Mastering how much pressure is required for a half-press
and a full-press of the shutter button is an important
technique for good-looking images.
Half-press
Press lightly
until the
button stops.

■ Fully pressing the shutter button without
waiting for Auto Focus
Fully pressing the shutter button without waiting for Auto
Focus to operate will record using Quick Shutter (page 122).
Quick Shutter lets you capture exactly the moment you want.
• With Quick Shutter, the camera uses high-speed Auto
Focus, which means you can capture quick moving action
more easily. Note, however, that some images may be out
of focus when Quick Shutter is used.
• Whenever possible, take a little extra time to half-press
the shutter button in order to ensure proper focus.

Movie Image Quality
Your camera lets you select from among six image quality
settings (UHQ, UHQ Wide, HQ, HQ Wide, Normal, LP) for
movies. To get the most out of the imaging capabilities of
your camera, use a quality setting of “HQ” (High Quality) or
“HQ Wide” or better.
Movie quality is a standard that determines the detail,
smoothness, and clarity of the image during playback.
Reducing image quality let’s you shoot longer, so you can
switch to “Normal”, or “LP” conserve remaining memory
capacity if you start to run low.

■ LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses highprecision technology that provides a pixel yield in excess of
99.99%.
This means that some pixels may not light or may remain lit at all
times. This is due to the characteristics of the liquid crystal
panel, and does not indicate malfunction.
