of pictu res on the LCD screen is for reference only.

• Changing the ISO Speed
This function enables you to change the camera’s sensitivity to light
by selecting different ISO values. ISO is a measure of how quickly
your camera reacts to light. The higher the ISO value, the less the
light needed to make an exposure, allowing the same exposure to be
achieved with higher shutter speeds or smaller apertures. In a digital
camera, higher ISO value allows higher shutter speed, at the expense of
mottled or grain appearing in the nal picture.
You can change the ISO value according to the following steps:
Set the Mode selector to Manual and turn on the camera.

6 Using the SD Card
• Using the SD (Secure Digital) card
Your camera comes with approximately 16MB of built-in ash memor y
for storing pictures/video clips. You can expand the memory using a
commercially available SD card. The camera senses whether a memory
card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures accordingly. Note that
you cannot save pictures to built-in ash memory while a memory card
is installed in the camera.
IMP ORTANT!
Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.
Be sure to orient the ca rd correctly wh en inserting it. Never try to force a
memor y card in to the slo t when you feel resistance.
SD memory cards have a write protect switc h, which you can use to protect
against accidental delet ion of pi cture data. “Whenever you wan t to record,
format or delete item in th e SD Card, you must d isabl e write protecti on.”
Inser ting th e SD
Card
Turn off the camera and open the battery door as illustrated. Inser t the
SD card ensuring the card is inserted correctly as illustrated. Close the
SD card door.
Make sure that the terminal of the memor y card is facing
the front of the camera.
Notche d corne r
of SD card
Removing the SD Card
To remove the SD card, turn off your camera , open the SD card door,
gently push the SD card inwards and then release it. The SD card will
eject out from the SD card door as illustrated.
IMP ORTANT!
Never insert any oth er objec ts besides a SD memory card into the camera’s
card slot. Doin g so creates the risk of damaging the c amera a nd card s lot.
Make sure that the terminal of the memory car d is facin g towards th e front
of the camera.
Shoul d water or any foreign objects ever get into the card slot, immediately
turn off the camera, remove the batteri es or disconnect the AC adaptor, and
contac t your dealer or nearest service provi der.

Memor y Card Precautions
Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera.
Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.
2.
Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause
data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back up
important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive, etc.).
3.
If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal
operation by reformatting it. However, we recommend that you always
take along more than one memory card whenever using the camera far
away from the home or of ce.
4.
We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the
rst time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems
to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory
card if it was used in another digital camera or other devices.

• DPOF ( Digital Print Order Format)
The letters ”DPOF” stand for “Digital Print Order Format”, which is a
format for recording on a memory card or other medium which digital
camera images should be printed and how many copies of the image
should be printed. Then you can print on a DPOF- compatible printer or
at a professional print service from the memory card in accordance with
the le name and number of copies settings recorded on the card.
With this camera, you should always select images by viewing them on
the LCD screen. Do not specify images by le name without viewing the
le contents.
IMP ORTANT!
DPOF print settings can be con gured for images on a memory card only, not
for images in the camera’s built-in memory. To con gure DPOF print settings for
images in the camera memory, you need to copy the images to a memory card
rst.

• P.I.M. (PRINT Image Matching)
This camera supports PR INT Image Matching. Images recorded with it
include information about the mode setting, camera setup, etc. When
you print an image on a printer that supports PRINT Image Matching,
the printer reads this data and adjusts the printed image accordingly,
so your image comes out just the way you intended when you recorded
them. See the documentation that came with your printer for full details
about PRINT Image Matching.
Now your digital camera and your printer can speak the same language.
PRINT Image Matching technology ensures that PRINT Image Matching-
enabled digital cameras and printers work together perfectly to produce
the best possible prints. Through this innovative technology, the printer
is able to instantly identify the print speci c information for each image
captured, to provide superior color, quality and detail in every print.
For more detailed information, please go to the PRINT Image Matching
website ht tp://www.printimagematching.com.
