Ensuring Longer Battery Life

Stand by Mode

• This power saving mode greatly reduces battery power consumption and allows you to quickly turn back on the camera. Press the power switch to enter stand by mode. Press the power switch again to immediately exit stand by mode and resume shooting or playback.

Once the camera enters standby, the power will turn off after the shut-down timer expires.

Unsaved data will be lost when the power turns off.

Save before proceeding.

Do not show this message again.

• After a certain amount of time elapses in stand by mode (the default setting is 1 hour), the camera turns off (A75; Shut-down timer). All unsaved data is

lost when the camera turns off after the set amount of time. Save the data you want to keep before the camera enters stand by mode.

Power Off

Press and hold the power switch to turn off the camera (force-quit). Almost no battery power is consumed. When you turn on the camera, you are limited to taking only a few pictures and cannot change the settings until Android™ OS starts up completely. Save the data you want to keep before you turn off the camera, just as you would in stand by mode.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC)

Declaration of Conformity

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licenceexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

2 Frame the picture.

• When the camera automatically selects the optimum scene mode, the shooting mode icon changes (A30).

• When the camera detects a face, that face will be framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face Detection” (A58) for more information.

• When taking images of subjects other than people, or when framing a subject with which no face is detected, a focus area is not displayed. Frame the picture so that the intended subject is at or near the center of the frame.

Step 3 Frame a Picture

C Using a Tripod

• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in the following situations:

- When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (A45) is set to W (Off).

- When using the telephoto setting.

• Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A74) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.

• To zoom in closer to the subject, rotate the zoom

control to g (telephoto).

• To zoom out and view a larger area, rotate the zoom

control to f (wide-angle). When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to

the maximum wide-angle position.

• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the

monitor when the zoom control is rotated.

• Digital zoom, which allows you to magnify the

subject up to approximately 4× beyond the maximum magnification of the optical zoom, can be activated by rotating and holding the zoom control to g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation

While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position. Since the position of V moves to the right as the size of an image decreases, selecting a smaller image size in the image mode setting (A53) allows you to zoom in further without decreasing the image quality due to interpolation.

Step 4 Focus and Shoot

1 / 250 F3.2

1 Press the shutter-release button halfway

(i.e., press the button slightly until you feel resistance).

• When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the camera sets the focus and exposure (shutter speed and aperture value). Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

• Once focus is acquired, the focus area glows green. See “Focus Area” (A57) for more

Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback

information.

• When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once focus is acquired, the focus indicator (A6) glows green.

• If the focus area or the focus indicator flashes red when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.

2 Press the shutter-release button all the way

(i.e., press the button the rest of the way down).

• The shutter is released and the image will be recorded to the memory card or internal memory.

• If you press the shutter-release button with too much force, the camera may shake, causing images to be blurred. Press the button gently.

B Note About Recording Images

The indicator showing the number of e xposures remaining flashes while images are being recorded.

Do not open the battery-chamber/mem ory card slot cover or remov e the battery or memory card while the indicator is flashing. Doing so could result in loss of data or damage to the camera or

the memory card.

B Subjects Not Suitable for 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 focus area or the focus indicator glows green.

• Subject is very dark

• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject

makes that subject appear very dark)

• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall)

• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)

• Regular geometric patterns (e.g. window blind or windows on a skyscraper)

• Subject is moving rapidly

In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or try focusing on another subject that is at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject (A60).

C Touch Shooting

The active focus area can be changed when using touch shooting. At the default setting, the shutter can be released by simply tapping a subject in the monitor (A53) without pressing the shutterrelease button.

C AF-assist Illuminator and Flash

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illum inator (A75) may light when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, or the flash (A44) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback

C To Make Sure You Do Not Miss a Shot

If you are concerned that you might miss a shot, press the shutter-release button all the way without first pressing it halfway.

C Motion Detection

In G (easy auto) mode or A (auto) mode, when the camera detects subject movement or camera shake, ISO sensitivity and shutter speed are increased to reduce blurring. In this case, the shutter speed indicator turns green.

Available Flash Modes

a Auto

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

b Auto with red-eye reduction

Suited to images of people. This option reduces the “red-eye” phenomenon that caused by the use of flash.

W Off

Flash does not fire even when lighting is poor. We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dark surroundings.

X Fill flash

Flash fires whenever an image is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and back-lit subjects.

d Slow sync

a (auto) is combined with slow shutter speed. Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting.

C Flash Mode Setting

• The flash mode setting varies depending on the shooting mode.

See “Functions Available for Each Shooting Mode” (A43) for more information. See “Default Settings” (A50) for more information.

• Some of these settings may not be available with certain functions. See “Functions That Ca nnot Be

Used Simultaneously” (A55) for more information.

• The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode (A31) is saved in the camera’s memory even

after the camera is turned off.

Shooting Features

C Red-eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). To reduce red-eye, a series of low-intensity pre-flashes fire before the main flash. In addition, if the camera detects red-eye when an image is taken, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved. Note the following when shooting:

• Due to the pre-flashes, there is a longer than usual interval between the time the shutter-release button is pressed and the time the shutter is released.

• More time than usual is required to record images.

• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.

• In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction

processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.

Focusing on Subjects

B Notes About the Face Detection Function

• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:

- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions

- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on which the camera focuses depend on a variety of factors, including the direction in which the faces are looking.

• When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus (A25), the camera may not be able to focus properly on the subject despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this occur, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject (A60).

C Viewing Images That Were Taken Using Face Detection

When playing back images that include a face detected during shooting, the images are automatically rotated depending on the orientation of the face detected ( except images captured in a series).

B Recording Movies

• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording

movies (F19). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class ratings are used.

• The camera focuses when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and the focus remains locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

• Digital zoom degrades image quality. When recording movies, the digital zoom can magnify the image up to 4× the maximum optical zoom ratio.

• In some cases, movie recordings may capture the sounds of the camera itself, such as those made by the shutter-release button, the zoom control, the movement of the lens during autofocus, vibration reduction, or aperture control when the brightness changes.

• The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.

- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting.

- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car,

may appear skewed.

- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.

- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved.

• When recording or playing back movies, colored stripes (interference patterns or moiré) may appear on subjects that have a regular, repeating grid, such as pattern of weave in clothing or windows in a building, depending on the shooting distance or zoom ratio. This phenomenon occurs when the subject’s pattern interferes with the camera sensor grid, and it does not indicate a malfunction.

B Notes About Camera Temperature

• The camera temperature may increase significantly when used for an extended period of time for

Recording and Playing Back Movies

movie recording, etc., or when used in places with high ambient temperature.

• If the camera becomes extremely hot while recording a movie, the camera automatically terminates recording after 30 seconds. The camera monitor displays the number of seconds remaining until automatic termination is activated. 5 seconds after movie recording is terminated, the camera turns off. Wait until the internal temperature decreases before using it again.

B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording

• When A Single AF (default setting) is selected for Autofocus mode in the movie menu, focus is locked when recording starts.

• When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus (A25), the camera may not be able to focus properly on the subject. Follow the procedure below if you are trying to shoot this type of subject for movies.

1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting) before starting

movie recording.

2. Frame a different subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended

subject) in the center of the frame, press the shutter-release button halfway, modify the composition, and press the shutter-release button all the way down.
