Using a Memory Card

■ Loading a Memory Card into the Camera

NOTE

•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 287.

1.Open the battery cover.

While pressing lightly on the cover, slide it in the direction indicated by the arrow to open.

2.Point the camera at the subject.

3.While taking care to keep the camera still, halfpress the shutter button.

When the image is in focus, the camera will beep, the operation lamp will light green, and the focus frame will turn green.

4.Continuing to keep the camera still, press the shutter button all the way down.

The recorded image will remain on the display for about one second, and then it will be stored in memory. After that, the camera will be ready to shoot the next image.

QUICK START BASICS

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 66, 68, and 287.

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

Full-press

Press lightly

until the All the way button stops.

Beep-beep! Click!

QUICK START BASICS

■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 128). 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. For best camera performance, use the “HQ” (High Quality) or “HQ Wide” setting for movie recording.

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.
