Key Features
The illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual product. In addition,
some of the display screens have been enlarged.
Equipped with a high magnification 7.1×
wide angle zoom lens
This camera has a compact body, featuring
a 28-200mm* 7.1× optical zoom lens that
covers a wide range of shooting. This lens
can be used to take pictures in various
indoor and outdoor situations.
* Equivalent to that on a 35 mm camera
Camera shake correction function
reduces blurring (P.117)
The camera comes with a camera shake
correction function to allow you to take
clearer pictures with minimized blurring
even indoors, at night and in other
situations where camera shake may occur.
Macro shooting at 1 cm (P.41) and closeup flash shooting at 25 cm (Telephoto)
or 20 cm (Wide-angle) (P.43)
The camera is equipped with close-up
functions that allow you to take pictures at a
distance of only 1 cm for the wide-angle
side and 25 cm for the telephoto side, from
the front of the lens to the subject. Since the
flash supports distances of only 20 cm for
the wide-angle side and 25 cm for the
telephoto side, you can also take clear
macro shots even under low light
conditions.
Dynamic range double-shot function
(P.82)
The camera shoots with an expanded
range of recordable brightness (dynamic
range). This lets you record images while
reducing areas that are overly bright or dark
for high contrast subjects.
5
Multi-pattern auto white balance (P.122)
Try setting the white balance to [Multi-P
AUTO] when shooting in lighting situations
that combine sun and shade or areas
illuminated by the flash and areas not
illuminated by the flash. Using [Multi-P
AUTO] makes it possible to capture images
with more faithful color tones.
Consecutive shooting with seven focus
points (P.100)
For multi-target AF, the camera
automatically detects multiple focus points
and consecutively shoots pictures while
focusing at those points. This function is
especially effective for telephoto and macro
mode shooting.
Various continuous shooting functions
(P.85)
In addition to a conventional continuous
mode that lets you take 4 pictures in 1
second, this camera comes with M-Cont
Plus, which lets you record 30 consecutive
pictures of the previous 1 second once you
release the shutter release button. You can
also select a high-speed continuous mode
(Speed Cont), which lets you take 120
consecutive pictures in 1 second. This is
useful for capturing the decisive moment of
a fast-moving subject.
Electronic level fun ction to help keep the
image level (P.58)
The camera is equipped with an electronic
level function that is useful for keeping the
image level when taking pictures of scenery
or buildings. The camera uses a level
indicator displayed on the picture display
and a level sound to let you know whether
the image is level.
Flag function quickly displays specified
images (P.136)
Save your favorite image files, or useful
image files, such as a train time table or a
map, to Flag Function and then press the
Fn (Function) button to easily display these
files whenever you like.

Select Ok
Trim
Cancel Execute
Easy shooting mode for reliable shooting
even by beginners (P.38)
Easy mode lets you set [Picture Quality/Size]
and other essential fun ctions. With this mode,
even first-time users can comfortably use the
camera. When you shoot a subject at close
range, for example, the macro mode is
enabled automatically.
High-resolution picture display
The 3-inch 920,000-dot VGA picture display
reproduces subject details with greater
clarity. This high-resolution picture display is
also able to display 81 thumbnail images at
the same time. This is useful for quickly
searching through a large volume of images
for a certain image.
Easily customize your favorite shooting
settings with My Settings mode (P.81)
You can customize two groups of settings,
and then turn the mode dial to MY1/MY2 to
shoot with those registered settings.
AF/AE target shift functio n that allows you
to lock AF and AE onto a location of your
choice (P.64)
This is a function that enables you to shift and
lock the AF/AE target when you are taking
pictures just by pressing a button, without
needing to move the camera.
Use the camera to easily make
Help
corrections to images you have shot
(P.140, 142, 145)
After you shoot a still image, you can crop
part of the image (trim), automatically adjust
the brightness (level compensation) or adjust
the color tones (white balance
compensation). The corrected image is
saved as a new file.

each 10 shots).
• You can take approximately 270 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.56)
• 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
