How to make print reservations

Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date and time information) with the pictures stored on the card. With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a photo store that supports DPOF. DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.

Only the images stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert a card with recorded pictures into the camera before making print reservations.

Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo store.

The pictures are printed according to the reserved information.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer.

Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data, without using a computer. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual. A PC card adapter may also be necessary.

• The object is dark and the shutter speed is slow.

• The flash cannot be used or when a low shutter speed shooting mode is selected.

Getting to know your camera better

Taking pictures without the flash

The flash is activated automatically when there is insufficient light and the camera is shaken. To take pictures without using the flash even when it is dark, first set the flash mode to [$] and then do the following setting.

There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.

Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures

• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the

magnification, the grainier the picture appears.

Shooting pictures with the mode dial set to M, or f mode set to WSX

• When shooting pictures in the above modes, noise reduction works automatically

if the subject is dark so clear pictures can be taken, but if noise reduction does not work the picture appears grainy.

g“i, l, M Shooting pictures according to the situation” (P.11)

“f Shooting pictures by selecting a scene mode according to the situation” (P.11)

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors.

Adjust [EXPOSURE COMP.] toward [+] to make these subjects closer to their real shades. Conversely, when you are shooting dark subjects, it can be effective to adjust toward the [-]. Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the brightness (exposure) that was intended.

g“EXPOSURE COMP. Changing the brightness of the picture” (P.20)

Taking pictures of a subject against backlight

• Set the flash to [#] to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against

backlight without the face of the subject appearing dark. [#] is effective for shooting against backlight and under fluorescent and other artificial lighting as well as backlit subjects.

g“Y# button Flash shooting” (P.15)

Additional shooting tips and information

Increasing the number of pictures that can be taken

There are two ways to record the pictures you take with this camera.

Recording pictures to the internal memory

• Pictures are recorded to the internal memory, and when the number of storable still

pictures reaches 0, you must connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures, and then erase the pictures from the internal memory.

Using an xD-Picture Card (optional)

• Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is

full, you download the pictures to a computer, and then either erase the pictures from the card or use a new card.

• Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the

camera. Pictures in the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function.
