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. This chapter explains direct printing and print reservations.

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.

[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

All printers that support PictBridge have standard print settings. If [STANDARD] is selected on the settings screens (P.42 to 43), pictures are printed according to these settings. Refer to the printer’s instruction manual for its standard settings or contact the printer manufacturer.

1 Display the picture you want to print out on the LCD monitor in

the playback mode.

2 Turn the printer on and plug the USB cable provided with the

camera into the multi-connector of the camera and the printer’s USB port.

• The [EASY PRINT START] screen is displayed.

• For details of how to turn the printer on and the position of the USB port, refer to the printer’s instruction manual.

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

g “X Setting the date and time” (P. 36)

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. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

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.

• Set [AF MODE] to [iESP].

g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 23)

The subject is moving quickly

• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want to shoot (by pressing the shutter button halfway), and then recompose your picture and wait for the subject to enter the frame.

Shooting tips

Focusing on the subject

Page 61

Getting to know your camera better

• 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.

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.

Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently to shoot the picture. You can reduce the blurring when shooting the picture in h mode. The factors that can cause the picture to blur are as follows:

• When you use the optical zoom, digital zoom, or zoom at such higher magnifications to shoot the picture

• When the shutter speed is set low to shoot a dark subject

• When the flash cannot be used or when a low shutter speed set s mode is selected.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on

Taking pictures without blurring

The green lamp blinks. The subject cannot be brought into focus.

Subject with low contrast

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

Subject without vertical lines

Page 62

Getting to know your camera better

The flash fires automatically when there is insufficient light. If the subject is too far away, the flash may have no effect. Here is how to take pictures without the flash in this type of situation.

Set the camera to h mode

• Because the sensitivity of the CCD increases automatically, you can hold the camera and take pictures in darker places with the flash off.

g “h Shooting pictures using image blur reduction” (P. 9)

Increase the [ISO] setting

• Increase the value of the [ISO] setting.

g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 21)

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)

• 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

g “WB Adjusting the color of a picture” (P. 21)

Taking pictures without the flash

The picture is too grainy

Taking pictures with the correct color

Page 63

Getting to know your camera better

• Take pictures with K in s mode. Suitable for taking pictures on a sunny

day at the beach or in the snow.

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 a 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.

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.

ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering/Digital ESP Light Metering

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.

Glossary of terms

Page 74

Getting to know your camera better

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 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.
