• Remove the battery after use. Store the
removed battery in the battery carrying
case (supplied).
• Do not remove the battery until the
LCD monitor and the status indicator
(green) turn off as the settings on the
camera may not be stored properly.
• The supplied battery is designed only
for the camera. Do not use it with any
other equipment.
• Do not insert or remove the battery or
the card while the camera is turned on.
The data on the built-in memory or the
card may be damaged. Be particularly
careful while the built-in memory or the
card is being accessed. (P21)
About the Built-in
M
Memory/the Card
The built-in memory can be used as a temporary storage device when the card being
used becomes full.
w Built-in Memory [ ]
• You can record or play back pictures
with the built-in memory. (The built-in
memory cannot be used when a card is
inserted.)
• The built-in memory capacity is about
27 MB.
• Picture size is fixed to QVGA
(320
240 pixels) when recording
motion pictures to the built-in memory.
(P51)
w Card [ ]
You can record or play back pictures on
a card.
w Card
• The SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory
Card and MultiMediaCard are small, lightweight, removable external cards.
• The SDHC Memory Card is a memory
card standard decided upon by the SD
Association in 2006 for high capacity
memory cards more than 2 GB.
• The reading/writing speed of an SD Memory Card and an SDHC Memory Card is
fast. Both types of card are equipped with
a Write-Protect switch that prevents
writing and formatting the card. (If the
switch is slid to the [LOCK] side, it is not
possible to write or delete data on the
card and format it. When the switch is slid
to the other side, these functions become
available.)
Preparation
• This camera (SDHC compatible equipment) is compatible with SD Memory
Cards based on SD Memory Card Specifications and formatted in FAT12 system
and FAT16 system. It is also compatible
with SDHC Memory Cards based on SD
Memory Card Specifications and formatted in FAT32 system.
• You can use an SDHC Memory Card in
equipment that is compatible with SDHC
Memory Cards however you cannot use
an SDHC Memory Card in equipment that
is only compatible with SD Memory Cards.
(Always read the operating instructions for
the equipment being used. If you also
order a photo studio to print pictures, ask
the photo studio before printing.)
• Refer to P104 for information about the
number of recordable pictures and the
available recording time for each Card.
• We recommend using High Speed SD
Memory Cards/SDHC Memory Cards
when recording motion pictures. (P51)
• The data on the built-in memory or the
card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static electricity or
breakdown of the camera or the card. We
recommend storing important data on a
PC etc.
• Do not format the card on your PC or
other equipment. Format it on the camera
only to ensure proper operation. (P84)
• Keep the Memory Card out of reach of
children to prevent swallowing.

w Using the flash
If the camera determines that the place
where the picture is being taken is dark, the
flash is fired when the shutter button is
pressed fully. (When the flash is set to
AUTO [ ]/AUTO/Red-eye reduction
[ ].)
• You can switch the flash setting to match
the recording. (P34)
• When you press the shutter button, the
LCD monitor may become bright or dark
for a moment however the recorded picture will not be affected.
• Be careful not to move the camera when
you press the shutter button.
• Do not cover the flash or the AF assist
lamp with your fingers or other objects.
• Do not touch the front of the lens.
w Exposure (P39)
• If you select normal picture mode [ ] the
exposure is automatically adjusted to an
appropriate exposure (AE=Auto Exposure). However, depending on recording
conditions such as backlight, the picture
will become dark.
In this case, compensate the exposure.
This allows you to take better exposed
pictures.
w Focusing (P23, 42)
If you select normal picture mode [ ], the
picture is automatically focused (AF= Auto
Focus). The focus range is 50 cm
(1.64 feet) to c . Even so subjects in the
picture may not be properly focused.
– When there are both near and distant
subjects in a scene.
– When there is dirt or dust on glass
between the lens and the subject.
– When there are illuminated or glittering
objects around the subject.
– When taking a picture in dark places.
– When the subject is moving fast.
– When the scene has low contrast.
– When recording a very bright subject.
– When taking close-up pictures of a
subject.
– When jitter occurs.
Try the AF/AE lock technique or macro
mode.
Basic
w Color (P58)
• The color of the subject will differ if the
color of the light surrounding it differs such
as when the light comes from sunlight or
halogen lighting. However, the camera
automatically adjusts the hue to one close
to real life. (auto white balance)
Set the white balance if you want to
change the hue you get with auto white
balance.
w When you want to take a picture of a
subject outside the AF area (AF/AE
Lock)
When recording a picture of people with a
composition like the following picture, you
will not be able to focus the camera on the
subject because the people are outside the
AF area.
7
In this case,
1 Aim the AF area at the subject.
2 Press the shutter button halfway to fix
the focus and the exposure.
• The focus indication lights when the
subject is focused.
3 Press and hold the shutter button
halfway while moving the camera as you
compose the picture.
4 Press the shutter button fully.
• You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock
before pressing the shutter button fully.

• Pictures may not be displayed vertically if
they were taken with the camera aimed up
or down.
• Motion pictures taken with the camera
held vertically are not displayed vertically.
w Preventing jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button.
• If jitter could occur because of slow shutter speed, the jitter alert appears.
1/10F2.8
• When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod. If you cannot use a
tripod, be careful how you hold the camera (P22). The use of the self-timer prevents jittering caused by pressing the
shutter button when you are using a tripod
(P38).
• Shutter speed will be slower particularly in
the following cases. Keep the camera still
from the moment the shutter button is
pressed until the picture appears on the
monitor. We recommend using a tripod.

• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1M)
when the camera is turned on.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• The lens barrel (P9) extends or retracts
according to the zoom position. Take care
not to interrupt the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
• In motion picture mode [ ], the zoom
magnification is fixed to the value set at
the start of recording.
• “EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended optical Zoom”.
• If you set a picture size that activates the
extended optical zoom, the extended optical zoom icon [ ] is displayed on the
screen when you use the zoom function.
• The zoom will stop moving for an instant
near [W] (1M) when the extended optical
zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• In motion picture mode [ ] and

Using the Digital Zoom
Further extending the zoom
A maximum of 14.3M zoom can be
