How to make print reservations

Print reservations 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.

Shooting tips and information

Tips before you start taking pictures

The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded

The battery is inserted incorrectly

• Remove the batteries and insert them correctly.

There is not enough power left in the battery

• Insert new batteries. Or, charge it when using the rechargeable battery.

The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold

• Battery performance declines in low temperatures, and the charge may not be sufficient to turn on the camera. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a while.

No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed

The camera is in sleep mode

• To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation when the camera is turned on (when the lens is extended and the monitor is on). No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom lever or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for 12 minutes, it automatically turns off (the lens retracts and the monitor turns off). When the power is turned on in the playback mode, the camera does not enter the sleep mode but just turns off automatically after abou t three minutes. Press o to turn the camera on.

The mode dial is in the position of g

• No pictures can be taken when the guide is being displayed. Take pictures after setting target te rms by following the shooting g uide or set it to the setting other than g in shooting mode.

The flash is charging

• Wait until the # (flash charge) mark stops blinking before pushing the shutter button again.

The date and time have not been set

The camera has been used in the same conditions from the time of purchase

• No date and time have been set in the camera at the time of purchase. Set the date and time before using the camera.

The battery has been pulled out of the camera

• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is left without batteries for approximately 1 day. The settings will be canceled more quickly if the batteries were only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

Shooting tips

Focusing on the subject

There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.

When the subject is not in the center of the frame

• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and then

recompose your picture.

g “Shutter button Shooting pictures” (P. 10)

The subject is moving quickly

• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you

want to shoot and lock the focus (by pressing the shutter button halfway). Then recompose your picture and press the shutter button completely as the subject enters the frame.

•Select j from f to shoot pictures.

g “f Shoot pictures by selecting a scene mode according to the situation” (P. 12)

Subjects that are difficult to focus on

• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The green

lamp on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.

focus.

The green lamp lights, but the subject cannot be brought into focus.

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, and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take the picture.

Subject with low contrast

Subjects at different distances

Subject with an extremely bright area in the center of the frame

Fast-moving subject

Subject without vertical lines

The subject is not in the center of the frame

Prevent blur by using image stabilization

Be sure to hold the camera firmly with both hands and press the shutter button slowly so as to avoid moving the camera. You can reduce the blurring by shooting the picture in h mode.

g “h Shooting pictures with digital image stabilization” (P. 11)

The factors that can cause the picture to blur are as follows:

• images are shot at a high-magnification zoom setting, i.e. using both optical zoom

and digital zoom fonctions.

• the object is dark and the shutter speed is slow, or

46 EN

• scene modes where the flash is turned off and/or the shutter speed is slow.

Page 47

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, set the flash mode to [$] (FLASH OFF).

The picture is too grainy

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 the f mode set to WSX

• When shooting pictures in the above modes, the picture may appear grainy if the subject is dark.

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

“f Shoot pictures by selecting a scene mode according to the situation” (P. 12)

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjust [F] (exposure compensation) toward [+] to make these subjects closer to their true 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 “OF/< button Changing picture brightness/Printing pictures” (P. 14)

Taking pictures of a subject against backlight

• Set the flash to [#] (FILL IN) to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against backlight without the face of the subject appearing dark. [#] (FILL IN) is effective for shooting against backlight and under fluorescent and other artificial lighting.

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.
