About the Battery

This camera uses the rechargeable battery DB-100, a dedicated 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. 330

* When [LCD Auto Dim] (GP.100) 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 310 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.40).

• 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.

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

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.

Available Settings Description

Level indicator display

When level:

The level indicator becomes green, indicating that the scale is in the middle.

When tilted to the right or left:

The mark on the level indicator becomes orange, indicating the opposite side of the direction in which the camera is tilted.

When the camera is tilted too far to the right or left:

Half of the level indicator on the opposite 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 become red. The mark on the level indicator is not displayed.

When the camera is held vertically:

When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function can be used to determine whether the image is vertically level (the level indicator appears in a different place).

Red

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

• During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off

(GP.40), 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.100).

• 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

3 F4:3 F

99999999

99999999

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.92).

• 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.82.

The camera may not be able to recognize faces in the following cases:

• When the face is side-view, tilted, or moving

• When the camera is tilted or upside down (the shutter release button is facing down)

• When the face is partially hidden or at the edge of the frame

• When the face is not clearly visible because of dark surroundings

• When the subject is too far away (Make sure that the face appearing in the picture display is vertically longer than one block marked by the grid guide. GP.40).

Use where lights and sounds emitted by the camera may be unwelcome. The flash (GP.31), AF auxiliary light (GP.99), and speaker (GP.100) turn off and flash, AF auxiliary light, and sound settings can not be adjusted. Use when taking portrait pictures against a nightscape. The flash fires automatically. The shutter speed slows down, so be careful of camera shake.

Use for night scenes. Blur caused by camera shake is reduced even in handheld shots. Four shots are taken in succession and combined to create a single image, increasing the time needed to record photographs in comparison to other modes.

Dynamic Range Double Shot

“Dynamic range” refers to the range of brightnesses (tone levels) that can be expressed by the camera. Dynamic range double shot creates a smooth transition from highlights to shadows for natural contrast.

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.

Two consecutive shots Combined and saved

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

• Dynamic range double shot may not be effective if the shooting location is overly bright or dark.

• We recommend that you select [Multi] for [Exposure Metering] (GP.74) in the shooting menu (GP.71) when using dynamic range double shot.
