Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak, become
hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the following precautions.

• Do not expose the batteries to water, and take particular
care to keep the terminals dry.

• Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a re.

• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the
batteries.

Avoid exposing the LCD screen to water; please remove
any moisture on the LCD screen with a soft dry cleaning

cloth.

If the LCD monitor is damaged, take particular care

with the liquid crystal in the monitor. If any of the
following situations arise, take the recommended
immediate action indicated below:

• If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin, wipe the
area with a cloth and then wash thoroughly with soap and
running water.

• If liquid crystal gets into your eye, ush the aected eye

with clean water for at least 15 minutes and then seek
medical assistance.

• If liquid crystal is swallowed, ush your mouth thoroughly

with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Then seek medical assistance immediately.

Flash

•

•

Flash: Auto

Camera ash res if camera determines it is needed.

Flash: Red-eye reduction
Red eye is caused by the subject looking directly at

the ash and the resulting light reecting o of the
retina of the eye. Red eye is eliminated by ring a
smaller initial ash prior to the main ash to cause
the subject not to look directly at the ash.

•

• Flash: Forced o

• Flash: Slow Synchro

• Flash: Red-Eye+Slow Synchro

Flash: Forced ash
Flash always res.

Flash is turned o.

This allows you to take pictures of people at night
that clearly show the subject. The shutter is held
open longer to allow more light to the image sensor.

Using this mode for slow synchro shots with red-eye
reduction.

22

ISO

The ISO function allows you to set the sensitivity of the
camera sensor to light. To improve the performance in darker
environments, a higher ISO value is required. On the other
hand, a lower ISO value is needed when in bright conditions.
(The ISO setting is only available when the camera is in the

Manual mode).

Pictures at higher ISO will naturally have more noise than
those at lower ISO.

The options of ISO include automatic, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800,
1600 and 3200.

The available ISO values vary on dierent camera

models.

Quality

The quality setting determines how much the camera

compresses the photo les. The higher the compression, the
smaller the le size will be, but the quality will decrease. The
lower the compression, the larger the le size, but the better

the quality.

Size

The size setting refers to the image resolution in pixels. A

higher image resolution allows you to print that image in

larger sizes without degrading the image quality.

The three levels of compression are:

• :

Quality: Best

• :

Quality: Fine

• :

Quality: Normal

The larger the pictures are, the bigger the le sizes are

and the less pictures you can store on a memory card.

23

Color

The color setting allows you to add artistic eects directly
when taking pictures. You can try dierent color tones to alter

the mood of your pictures. (The Color setting is only available
when the camera is in the M Manual mode).

The color options include:

•

Connect Your Camera to a HDMI TV to View Videos

HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface), is a fully

digital audio/video transmission interface, through which
uncompressed audio and video signals are transmitted.

Direct transmission of digital video signals to your TV reduces
conversion loss and improves image viewing quality.

Connect the camera to a HDMI TV

1. Select [NTSC] or [PAL] based on the TV video format (see
page 66) and turn o your camera.

2. Use a high-denition output terminal cable (optional) to

3. The camera will automatically determine if the connected
display supports 1080i resolution. If the display supports
the resolution, select the resolution you prefer on the
menu shown on the camera and the display will display the

images at the specied resolution. If the display does not

support the resolution, it will automatically display images
at the highest resolution possible.

4. Once an output format is selected, the LCD screen on the

camera will go blank (although it is still on) and your TV
will then display the images and menus.

Note that your camera and TV should be turned o

before connecting them.

When the resolution is set to 1920 x 1080i, you can play­back pictures only, and video playback is not possible.
The maximum TV resolution for video playback is 1280 x
720P.

Refer to your TV instruction manual for information on

what resolution sizes it will support. The resolution and

output formats that are not supported will be grayed

out on the camera's LCD screen.
