You can check for loss of contrast detail in highlights and shadows from the
histogram that is displayed, or the flashing display for each tone level. These provide
guidelines when adjusting the image brightness with functions such as exposure
compensation.
1
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.
2
The tone level indicates the brightness level. When the tone level to check is
selected using the multi selector JK or rotating it, the area of the image that
corresponds to the selected tone level flashes.

How to Attach the Camera Strap
When not using the lens hood
Attach the strap to the left and right side of the camera.
How to Attach the Lens Cap and Lens Hood
• When you are not shooting images, attach the lens cap to protect the lens.
• The lens hood cuts out light which adversely affects the image, and it also helps to
protect the camera. Do not use the lens hood when shooting with a flash or when
the AF-assist illuminator is necessary for shooting.

Inserting the Battery and Memory Card
Battery latch Memory card slot
• With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move the
orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).
• Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).
• Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or backward, as
this could cause a malfunction.
• When the write-protect switch on the memory card is in the “lock” position, images
cannot be captured or deleted, and the card cannot be formatted.
B Formatting a Memory Card
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this
camera, make sure to format it with this camera.
• Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and other
data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep
before formatting the memory card.
• Insert the memory card into the camera , press the d button, and select Format card in
the setup menu (A113).
Removing the Battery or Memory Card
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and screen have turned
off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.
• Move the battery latch to eject the battery.
• Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory card.
• Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after
using the camera, as they may be hot.
