lithium-ion battery supplied with the camera. The rechargeable
battery needs to be charged before use. The battery is not charged at
the time of purchase.
Number of shots you can take ----------------------------------------------------
Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 310
* When [LCD Auto Dim] (GP.94) is set to [On].
• Based on CIPA standard. (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on,
30 seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wideangle or wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the
power off after each 10 shots)
• You can take approximately 290 shots when [LCD Auto Dim] is set to [Off ].
• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you
can take. (GP.38)
• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods
of time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots)
will decrease. If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we
recommend carrying a spare battery.
Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera
off and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.
• Please remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long
period of time.
• When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithiumion battery (DB-100). Do not use any other battery.

About the Electronic Level
When [ Level Setting] is turned on in the setup menu or by pressing
and holding the DISP. button, the camera uses a level indicator
and level sound to let you know whether the image is level during
shooting. The level indicator is displayed during normal symbol display
and histogram display.
If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
This is useful for keeping the image level when taking pictures of
scenery or buildings. This is also very useful for taking pictures with the
horizon visible.

side of the direction in which the camera
is tilted becomes red. The mark on the
level indicator is not displayed.
When the camera is tilted too far forward
or backward, or it cannot be determined
whether the camera is level:
The top and bottom of the level indicator

Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off
(GP.38), the level sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed.
When [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound], only the level sound is emitted.
• The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when
recording movies, and during interval shooting.
• The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when
shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.
• No level sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound] or
[Sound] and [Volume Settings] is set to [] (Mute). (GP.94)
• Use this function as a reference to see if images are level when shooting
images. The accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be
guaranteed.

About the Histogram Display
When Histogram is on, a histogram
appears in the lower right corner on the
picture display. A histogram is a graph
indicating the number of pixels on the
vertical axis and the brightness on the
If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
horizontal axis (from left to right, shadows
(dark areas), midtones, and highlights
(bright areas)).
By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an image
without being affected by the brightness around the picture display.
This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright or dark.
If the histogram has only peaks on the
right side, this picture is overexposed
with too many pixels only for highlight
sections.
If the histogram has only peaks on the left
side without anything else, this picture
is underexposed with too many pixels
only for shadow sections. Refer to this
histogram when correcting the exposure.
Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The histogram displayed on the picture display is for reference only.
• After taking a picture, you can correct its brightness and contrast by making
adjustments to the histogram. (GP. 8 6 )
• Depending on the shooting conditions (use of the flash, dark surrounding light,
etc.), the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the
brightness of the shot image.
• Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the
best possible result.
• A histogram with peaks in the center may not necessarily provide the best result
to suit your particular requirements. For example, an adjustment is required if
you want to underexpose or overexpose the image.
• For information on how to correct the exposure compensation, see P.76.

Dynamic Range Double Shot Mode (Q)
The "dynamic range" of a digital camera refers to
the range of brightness that can be processed by
the camera.
When you set the mode dial to Q and shoot, the
scene is reproduced with a smooth transition from
the bright areas to the dark areas, allowing you to capture a more
natural-looking image.
Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With dynamic range double shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with
different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are
3
combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes,
so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The J symbol is always
Shooting Mode Types
displayed.
Two consecutive shots Combined and saved
Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Dynamic range double shot may not be effective if the shooting location is
overly bright or dark.
• [Multi] metering is recommended. (GP. 6 8 )
• When shooting a fast-moving subject, the subject may be distorted in the
recorded image.
• Flicker from fluorescent lights may appear as horizontal bands. Fluorescent
lighting may also affect colors and brightness.

Dynamic Range Expansion Effect
The [Dynamic Range Expansion] option
in the shooting menu offers five levels of
dynamic range expansion: [Auto], [Very
Weak], [Weak], [Medium], and [Strong].
The stronger the expansion effect,
the wider the range of brightnesses
processed by the camera.
To adjust dynamic range expansion settings, turn the mode dial to Q
and then select an option for [Dynamic Range Expansion] in the
shooting menu.
If an option other than [Auto] is
highlighted when you press the ADJ./OK
button F, the menu shown at right will be
displayed. Choose the tone range given
priority for expanded dynamic range from
[Highlights], [Shadows], and [Off].
Dynamic Range Expansion Plus Normal Shooting
When [On] is selected for [Plus Normal Shooting] in the shooting
menu, the camera will record two copies of each photo: one with an
expanded dynamic range and the other with normal exposure. The
two copies are displayed in the picture display after shooting, with the
unmodified copy on the right and the copy with an expanded dynamic
range of the left.
To turn this option on or off, turn the mode dial to Q and then select
an option for [Plus Normal Shooting] in the shooting menu.
Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Histograms of the images are displayed after shooting. When [LCD Confirmation

the zoom lever and turn it to z again.
Image size changes each time the zoom
lever is turned to z. The current size is
displayed above the zoom bar.
The auto resize zoom is enabled when

for [Picture Quality/Size] (GP.67), and the digital zoom is enabled in
other cases.
