C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify
images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality according to the image mode (A90) and
digital zoom magnification.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V. When zoom is increased beyond the V
position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation
is being applied.
The position of V moves to the right as image size decreases, allowing for confirmation of the zoom
positions at which shooting without interpolation is possible at the current image mode setting.

B During Recording
While pictures are being recorded, the number of exposures remaining display will blink. Do not
open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while pictures are being recorded. Cutting
power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage
to the camera or card.
C Autofocus
Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject
may not be in focus despite the fact that the active focus area, or focus indicator, glows green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharp ly differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is behind the s ubject
and is in deep shadow)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is standing in front of a
white wall, wearing a white shirt)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times,
or focus on another subject and use focus lock (A100). When using focus lock, be sure that the
distance between the camera and the subject with wh ich focus was locked is the same as that for the
actual subject.
D AF-assist Illuminator and Flash
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A121) may light by pressing the shutter-release
button halfway, or the flash (A30) may fire by pressing the shutter-release button all the way down.

Using the Flash
The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 8.0 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 26 ft.) when the camera is
zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is about
0.5 to 3.5 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 11 ft.) (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto). The following
flash modes are available.
Auto
U
Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.
Auto with red-eye reduction
V
Basic Photography and Playback : Auto Mode
Reduces “red-eye” in portraits (A31).
Off
W
Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.
Fill flash
X
Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit
subjects.
Slow sync
Y
Auto is combined with slow shutter speed.
Suitable for taking por trait images with the night landscape as the back ground. Flash
illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at
night or under dim light.

B Shooting When Lighting is Poor and When the Flash is Disabled (W)
• Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of
camera shake. Set Vibration reduction (A119) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the
camera during shooting.
• The E indicator is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken
when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.
• When E is displayed and higher sensitivity is applied, noise reduction may be automatically
applied as pictures are recorded. This will result in increased recording times.
B Note on Using the Flash
When using the flash, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures.
To reduce these reflections, set the flash mode to W (Off).
C The Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates the flash status when the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway down.
• On : Flash will fire when picture is shot.
• Blinks : Flash is charging. Wait a few seconds and try
again.
• Off : Flash will not fire when picture is shot.
If the battery is low, the monitor display will turn off, and remain off, until the flash is fully charged.
C The Flash Mode Setting
The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode.
• A (auto) mode: U (auto)
• Scene mode: setting varies for different scene modes (A36).
• a (smile) mode: set to W (off) (when Blink Proof is on),
U (auto) (when Blink Proof is off)
• s (subject tracking) mode: W (off)
The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
C Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses Advanced Red-eye Reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).
The flash fires repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect.
The camera then analyzes the picture; if red-eye is detected, the affected area will be processed to
further reduce red-eye before the picture is saved.
Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and the
picture being shot, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required. The
time before the next picture can be shot also increases slightly. Advanced red-eye reducti on may not
produce the desired results in all situations. In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye
may be affected by advanced red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another mode
and try again.

C Exposure Compensation Value
The exposure compensation value applied in A (auto) mode is
stored in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off,
and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
D Using Exposure Compensation
• The camera tends to lower exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects (for
example, sunlit expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than
the main subject.
• Negative compensation m ay be called for when large areas of th e frame contain very dark objects
(for example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much d arker than the main
subject.
D Using the Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image.
• The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright tones to
the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
• Increasing exposure compensation shifts tone distribution to the right, and decreasing it shifts
tone distribution to the left.
• Use as a guide when using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.

pictures are taken.

The date and time of recording can be imprinted on pictures using the Date imprint option (A118)
