About the Battery

This camera uses the Rechargeable Battery DB70, a dedicated lithium-ion battery supplied with the camera. It is economical because you can recharge it using the battery charger and use it over and over again. 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. 290

* When [LCD Auto Dim] (GP.184) 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 wide-angle or wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after 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 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 rem ove 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 lithium-ion battery (DB-70). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

About the SD Memory Card (available in stores)

You can store images you have taken either in the camera’s internal memory or on an SD memory card (available in stores). The internal memory capacity is approximately 88 MB. To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a high-capacity SD memory card.

About Formatting---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it with this camera. If an error message such as [Card Error] is displayed when an SD memory card is loaded in the camera or the card has been used with a computer or other digital camera, you must format the card with this camera prior to use. (GP.168)

Where images are recorded-------------------------------------------------------------------

When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera records images to the internal memory; when an SD memory card is loaded, it records images to the SD memory card.

When no SD memory card is loaded When an SD memory card is loaded

Records to the internal memory Records to the SD memory card

Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• If a n SD memory card is loaded, the camera does not record to the internal memory, even if the card is full.

• Take care not to get the contacts of the card dirty.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

Move the write-protection switch on the SD memory card to LOCK to prevent your still images from being accidentally erased or the card from being formatted. If you unlock the card (by returning the switch to its original position), it is once again possible to erase images and format the card.

It is recommended to move the write-protection switch to LOCK

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

when you have some important data recorded. Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because no data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card before shooting.

Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• For information on switching between the SD memory card and internal memory during playback, see P.47.

• Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on the capacity of the SD memory card. (GP.232)

• You can copy images recorded in the internal memory to the SD memory card. (GP.158)

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 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.147)

• 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.124.

Dynamic Range Double Shot Mode

(

The “dynamic range” of a digital camera refers to the range of brightness that can be processed by the camera. When you shoot a scene with high contrast, such as both a subject in sunlight and a subject in a shaded area, the bright areas appear overly bright and the image does not look natural. This is because the range of brightness that can be processed by the camera is narrower than that of the human eye. When you set the mode dial to reproduced with a smooth transition from the bright areas to the dark areas, allowing you to capture a more natural-looking image.

3 Shooting Mode Types

Note ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With Dynamic Range Double Shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are 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 displayed.
