You can print out the pictures you have taken.
If you print the pictures at home, you can either connect the camera directly to
the printer or you can connect the camera to a computer and download the
pictures to the computer first.
If you go to a photo store, it is a good idea to store the print reservation data on
the card first. 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. It allows you to store data such as which pictures you want
to print and the number of prints so that you can print pictures automatically at
home or at a photo store.

Direct printing (PictBridge)
Using the direct printing function
By connecting the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer, you can print out
pictures directly. Select the pictures you want to print and the number of prints
on the camera’s monitor.
To find out if your printer is compatible with PictBridge, refer to the printer’s
instruction manual.
What is PictBridge?
A standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and printing out
pictures directly.
• Available printing modes, paper sizes etc., vary depending on the printer you
use. Refer to the instruction manual for your printer.
• For details of printing paper types, ink cassettes, etc., refer to the printer’s
instruction manual.
EASY PRINT
[EASY PRINT] can be used to print out the picture displayed on the monitor.
The selected picture is printed using the standard settings of your printer. The
date and file name are not printed.
STANDARD

• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and
then recompose your picture.

g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 21)
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.
g “DIGITAL ZOOM Zooming in on your subject” (P. 22)
Increasing the ISO sensitivity
• When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of
unwanted color or unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the
picture a grainy appearance. This camera is equipped with a function to allow
shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing noise; however, increasing the
ISO sensitivity creates grainier pictures than when using a lower sensitivity.
g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 21)
Taking pictures with the correct color
• The reason why there are differences between the colors in a picture and the
actual colors taken and the actual color is the light source illuminating the
subject. [WB] is the function that allows the camera to determine the correct
colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting provides the optimal white balance, but
depending on the subject, it may be better to experiment with changing the
[WB] setting.
• When the subject is in the shade on a sunny day
• When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting,
such as when near a window
• When there is no white in the center of the frame

Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene
• Take pictures with K in s mode. Suitable for taking pictures on a sunny
day at the beach or in the snow.
g “Shooting pictures by selecting a scene according to the situation” (P. 20)
• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors.
Adjust [F] 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 “1F button Changing picture brightness” (P. 13)
Taking pictures of a subject against backlight
• With [ESP/n] set to [n], the picture can be taken based on the brightness
at the center of the monitor without being affected by the light in the
background.

Glossary of terms
Aperture
The adjustable lens opening which controls the amount of light that enters the camera.
The larger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field and the fuzzier the background. The
smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field and the sharper the background. Larger
aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller aperture values indicate larger
apertures.
CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)
This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera, light is
picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image.
Contrast Detection Method
This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the image
is focused by the level of contrast in the subject.
Conventional Photograph
This refers to recording images using silver halide (the method for recording images in
conventional, non-digital photography). This system is in contrast to still video and digital
photography.
DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)
A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association (JEITA).
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images to
print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the desired images
printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.
Eclipsing (Vignetting)
This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole subject
is not photographed. Vignetting also refers to when the image seen through the viewfinder
does not exactly match the image shot through the objective lens, so the photographed
image includes objects not seen through the viewfinder. In addition, vignetting can occur
when an incorrect lens hood is used, causing shadowing to appear in the corners of the
image.
This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the center
and other areas of the image separately.
EV (Exposure Value)
A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the shutter
speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture increases by one
F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can also be used to indicate
brightness and ISO.
Exposure
The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the time
the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through the lens
(aperture).
Image size
The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For
instance, a picture taken with an image size of 640 × 480 fills the computer screen when
the monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768, the picture
only takes up part of the screen.

75
Page 76
ISO
A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) (ex.gISO100h). Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity to light, so images
can be exposed even in low-light conditions.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A compression format for still images. Photographs (pictures) taken using this camera are
recorded onto the card in JPEG format. By downloading these images to a computer,
users can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an
Internet web browser.
NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) / PAL (Phase Alternating Line)
Television formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America and Korea. PAL is
mainly used in Europe and China.
PictBridge
A standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and printing out
pictures directly.
Pixels
A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed
images require millions of pixels.
Program auto
Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter speed and
5
aperture for the shot.
Sleep mode
A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep mode if
you do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any button on the
camera (shutter button, arrow pad (1243), etc.).
TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor
A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology.

LCD Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting
in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a
malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear
zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in
playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time to turn
on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold
places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor
exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal
