LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number
of 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.
Take test shots
Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is
recording correctly.

Preparing a Memory Card
*
Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and
movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for
greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded
while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card
is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 148.
Supported Memory Cards
– microSD Memory Card
– microSDHC Memory Card
– microSDXC Memory Card
• The above are supported memory card types as of August
2015.
• This camera supports use of microSD memory cards of the following types and
capacities: microSD memory cards up to 2GB; microSDHC memory cards greater
than 2GB, up to 32GB; microSDXC memory cards greater than 32GB, up to 2TB.
Note that the ability to use any particular card with this camera, even if it satisfies
the above capacity and type requirements, is not guaranteed.
Warning!
0 Memory cards are small and present a risk of accidentally being swallowed
by infants and young children. Keep memory cards out of the reach of
infants and young children. If a memory card is ever swallowed accidentally,
contact a physician immediately.

Snapshot Shooting Precautions
Operation
• If unwanted light is shining onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand when
shooting an image.
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots
• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can
cause digital noise in the monitor screen image.
• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual
image will be recorded in accordance with the currently selected recording mode
(page 40).
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an
image.
Other Precautions
• A noise reduction process is performed when ISO sensitivity is set to a high value.
This can cause the camera to take relatively longer to be ready to shoot again after
you press the shutter button. Do not perform any operation while the image
recording operation is in progress.
• Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast
moving objects in an image may appear distorted.
. Auto Focus Restrictions
• Any of the following can make proper focus impossible.
– Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject
– Strongly back lit subject
– Very shiny subject
– Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern
– Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera
– Subject in a dark location
– Camera movement while shooting
– Fast-moving subject
– Subjects outside the focus range of the camera
• If you cannot focus properly while shooting with Auto recording mode, try using
focus lock (page 71).

High Speed Movie Recording Precautions
• When shooting a high speed movie, shoot in a well-lit environment.
• When recording a high speed movie, light source flicker can cause horizontal
bands to appear in the image. This does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
51
Recording Movie
IMPORTANT!
NOTE
Microphone
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction. The
camera may automatically adjust its monitor screen brightness in order to reduce
heat generation.
• The camera also records audio along with Full HD and HD
movies. Note the following points when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your
fingers, etc.
– Good audio recording results are not possible when the
camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where
temperature is relatively high can cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the
movie image. A rise in the camera’s internal temperature also may force movie
recording to stop automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the
camera to cool down, which should cause normal operation to resume.
• Use of the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow
down processing speeds. In particular, high-quality movies may not be able to be
stored correctly. A slow memory card can take too much time to record data and
result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. When this happens the
movie icon will turn yellow on the monitor screen.
• Except for High Speed Movie, zoom operations are supported during movie
recording (page 46). Zoom is disabled during high speed movie recording. If you
want to use zoom, perform the zoom operation before you touch “ ” (Movie) to
start recording.
• SR Zoom (page 46) is disabled during movie recording.
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you
shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, stabilizing the camera
by placing it on a level surface, etc. is recommended.
• During High Speed Movie recording, focus is fixed at the position where it was
when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for Auto
Focus before you touch “ ” (Movie) to start recording.

A digital camera image is a collection of small
dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are
in an image, the more detail there will be.
However, you generally can do with fewer
pixels when printing an image (L size)
through a print service, attaching an image to
e-mail, when viewing the image on a
computer, etc.
The size of an image indicates how many
pixels it contains, and is expressed as horizontal pixels
• Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
• For information about image size and number of images that can be stored, see
page 148.

Adjusting White Balance (White Balance)
Blank white paper
Enter the REC Mode * MENU * White Balance
The white balance setting lets you make adjustments to match the light source being
used so subject coloring is more natural. You can make adjustments to avoid the blue
cast that can occur when shooting on a cloudy day, the green cast that can occur
while shooting under white fluorescent lighting, etc.
1. Touch the type of white balance you want to select.
You can see the affect of the white balance setting you select on the monitor
screen.
Setting Description
Configures the camera to adjust white balance
automatically
For shooting outdoors on an overcast rainy day, in the
shade, etc.
For shooting on a clear day in the shade of trees or
buildings
For shooting under white or day white fluorescent
lighting
For configuring the camera manually to suit a particular
light source.
Touch “· Manual WB”.
In the location where you plan to
shoot, point the camera at a
blank white piece of paper so it
fills the entire monitor screen.
Touch an area of the screen
where no icon is located.
The white balance setting is retained even if you turn
off the camera.
• When “‡Auto WB” is selected for the white balance setting, the camera
automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors
and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to
determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment
impossible. If this happens, select the white balance setting that matches your
shooting conditions (Daylight, Overcast, etc.).
