Tips before you start
taking pictures

Your pictures are almost guaranteed to
come out well just by setting the mode dial
to h or P and pressing the shutter
button. But occasionally, you can’t focus on
your subject, or the subject is too dark, or
the picture doesn’t come out the way you
want…
Just knowing which button to press or which
setting to change can help you solve these
problems.
And did you know that by selecting an
image size according to how you plan to use
the pictures afterwards, you can store more
pictures on the memory card? These are
just some of the hints provided in this
chapter.

Holding the camera
Sometimes when you look at a picture you have taken, the contours of the
subject are blurred. This is often caused by movement of the camera at the
precise moment that the shutter button is pressed.
Picture where subject is not clearly defined
To prevent the camera from moving, hold the camera firmly with both
hands while keeping your elbows at your sides. When taking pictures
with the camera in the vertical position, hold the camera so that the flash
is positioned higher than the lens. Keep your fingers and the strap away
from the lens and flash.

The camera automatically detects the focus target in the frame. The level
of contrast is one of the criteria it uses to detect the subject. The camera
may fail to determine subjects with lower contrast than the surroundings or
with an area of extremely strong contrast in the frame. If this happens, the
simplest solution is to use the focus lock.
How to focus (focus lock)
2
1 Position the AF target mark on
the subject you want to focus on.
• When shooting a hard-to-focus or fastmoving subject, focus the camera on an
object about the same distance away as
the subject.
2 Press the shutter button halfway
until the green lamp lights.
Tips before you start taking pictures
• When the focus and exposure are
locked, the green lamp lights.
• When the green lamp blinks, the focus
and exposure are not locked. Release
your finger from the shutter button, reposition the AF target mark on the subject and press the shutter button
halfway again.
3 Keeping the shutter button
pressed halfway, recompose
your shot.

In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same
distance as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If
the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera
using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway, then return the
camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take
the picture.

Record mode
You can select a record mode in which to take pictures or shoot movies.
Select the best record mode for your purpose (printing, editing on a
computer, website editing, etc.). For information on the image sizes for
each record mode and memory capacity, see the table on P. 27.
Still picture record modes
Record mode depicts the image size and compression rate of pictures you wish to
2
record.
Pictures are made from thousands of dots (pixels). If a picture with relatively few
pixels is enlarged, it looks like a mosaic. A picture with many pixels is denser and
clearer, but requires a larger file size (data size), decreasing the number of pictures
that can be saved. Increasing the compression rate reduces the file size, but makes
the pictures appear grainy.

TIPS
• When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the
computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For
instance, a picture taken with an image size of 1,024 × 768 fills the screen if
you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768. However, if
the monitor setting is over 1,024 × 768 (such as 1,280 × 1,024), the picture only
takes up part of the screen.

Pictures taken are stored in the internal memory.
You can also use an xD-Picture Card (referred to as “card” in this manual)
to store pictures. The card has greater capacity than the internal memory,
and so is able to store more pictures. The card is convenient, for example,
when you are traveling and you want to take a lot of pictures.
(Internal memory basics
The internal memory corresponds to the film of a normal camera for recording
pictures you have taken.
Pictures recorded and stored in the internal memory can easily be erased,
overwritten, and/or edited on a computer. The internal memory cannot be replaced
or removed from the camera.
Relationship between the internal memory and the card
The monitor displays which memory (internal or card) is being used for shooting and
