When the subject you want to focus on is not exactly in the center of the
monitor and you cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus
on another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the
picture as explained below. This is called “focus lock.”
In shooting mode, position the AF
P
target mark on the subject you want to
focus on.

Taking Pictures
When shooting a hard-to-focus subject, point
the camera at an object about the same
distance away as the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway.
When the green lamp lights steadily,
the focus, exposure and white balance
are locked.
When the green lamp blinks:
c You are too close to the subject take the picture at least 50 cm/1.6 ft.
away from the subject. When the distance from the camera to the
subject is less than 50 cm/1.6 ft, select the macro mode. g“Taking

Press the shutter button
completely down to take the
picture.
Subjects that are difficult to focus on
The purpose of the camera’s auto focus feature is to bring the subject into
focus automatically, but under certain conditions, the auto focus may not
function effectively. If this happens, focus on an object with high contrast at
the same distance as the intended subject (focus lock), recompose your
shot and then take the picture.
For details of the focus lock procedure, refer to g P.10.

Pictures taken with the digital zoom may appear grainy.
Camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications. Stabilize the
camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.
The zoom systems cannot be used in the self portrait mode.
Using flash #
The camera is initially set to Auto-flash, but you can select from the
following four flash modes according to the shooting conditions.
Auto-flash (Factory default setting)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
!Red-eye reduction flash
The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in
pictures taken in dark places. The red-eye reduction flash mode [!]
reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the
regular flash. This helps accustom the subject’s eyes to the bright light
and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.
After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second until the picture is taken. Hold
the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-
flashes, or if the subject is too far from the camera. Individual physical
characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
#Fill-in flash
The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for
eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced
by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
1
Taking Pictures
$Flash off
The flash does not fire even in low-light conditions. Use this mode in
places such as art museums where flash photography is prohibited.
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations
when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent
camera movement.

The number of storable pictures listed in the table is approximate.
The number of remaining pictures may change according to the subject or

The number of remaining pictures sometimes does not change even when a
picture is taken or a stored picture is erased.
Recording sound with still pictures reduces the number of pictures you can take.
25
Changing resolution and quality K
Resolution and Compression rate
Compression rate and picture quality
The quality of the picture depends on the compression rate. Pictures taken in
a low compression record mode are clearer than pictures taken in standard
compression record mode. However, lower compression makes the file size
larger, reducing the number of pictures that can be stored on the card.
Resolution
1
This refers to the number of pixels (vertical × horizontal) used when saving
an picture. If the picture will be printed, higher resolution (larger number of
Taking Pictures
pixels) is recommended so that the picture will be clearer. However, higher
resolution pictures make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the number
of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.
Resolution and picture size on a computer screen
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 in 1024 × 768 resolution is the same size as the
screen if you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1024 × 768.
However, if the monitor setting is greater than 1024 × 768 (such as
1280 × 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.

Selecting white balance according to surrounding lighting
When daylight, the sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on white
substance, the shade of white produced will differ for each. People’s
eyes recognize white objects as being white irrespective of the
surrounding lighting, but with a digital camera the color needs to be
adjusted to suit the situational lighting so that white objects appear
white in the picture. This adjustment function is called “white balance.”
