When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack.

i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it

is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the camera settings are correct.

When the dedicated USB interface cable or dedicated AV interface cable is connected…

i The construction of the camera is such that when the USB cable or AV

cable is connected, it may be difficult to replace the battery pack. If it becomes necessary to replace the battery pack in this case, please do so after disconnecting the USB cable or AV cable from the camera.

BASIC OPERATION

BEFORE TAKING PICTURES

For best results

Hold the camera securely, keeping your elbows close to your body and making sure the camera is stable.

Correct hold Incorrect hold

Make sure that the lens and flash are not blocked by your fingers or the grip belt. * For shooting vertically oriented still images, you can set the shooting

orientation to the vertical (portrait) format (page 62).

i Grip the camera by

wrapping the fingers of the right hand, from the little finger to the middle finger, around the camera, with the index finger above the lens.

i Insert the fingers of the

right hand (little finger to index finger) in the grip belt, gripping the camera by wrapping the little finger to the middle finger around the camera body.

A finger is blocking the lens or flash.

English 32

BEFORE TAKING PICTURES

Using the autofocus

The autofocus will work in almost all situations; however, there are certain conditions that may cause the autofocus function to not work properly. If the autofocus function is not working properly, set the focus range to capture images (page 72).

k Conditions that may cause incorrect focus

The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus function may not work.

i Subjects with low contrast, very

bright subjects at the center of the image or dark subjects or locations

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object with contrast at the same distance as the desired subject.

i Subjects without vertical lines

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus while framing the subject vertically, then re-orient the camera to compose a horizontally framed image.

33 English

The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus function may work, but not as desired.

i When both near and far objects are

present

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object at the same distance as the desired subject, then reposition the camera to compose the picture.

i Fast-moving subjects

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object at the same distance as the desired subject, then reposition the camera to compose the picture.

HINT

i Images captured in the still image shooting mode can be rotated when

they are played back (page 98).

i When the still image shooting button is pressed halfway, the image in the

monitor may waver vertically. This is the result of internal image processing and is not a malfunction. This wavering is not recorded and will not affect your images in any way.

i When the optical zoom is used or when the autofocus is operating, the

image may appear to waver, but this is not a malfunction.

English 34

BEFORE TAKING PICTURES

Hints for taking pictures

Muting the operation sounds

i The operation sounds that are generated, for example, when the still image

shooting button, MENU button or SET button is pressed, as well as the audio guidance when you switch the mode, can be muted (page 115).

Where is the image and audio data saved?

i All the image and sound data is recorded on the card installed in the

camera.

Taking pictures in backlight conditions...

i When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to

the characteristics of the lens, light lines or ghost patterns (flare phenomenon) may appear in the captured image. In this situation, it is recommended that you avoid taking pictures with the subject lit from behind.

While the image data is being recorded...

i While the multi-indicator is flashing red, the image data is being written to

the memory, during which time it is not possible to capture another image. Another image can be captured after the flashing red indicator turns off. However, even when the multi-indicator is flashing red, depending on the camera’s internal memory remaining capacity, in some cases the next image can be captured about 2 seconds after shooting.

In the continuous playback mode, the guidance display for key (button) operation and the capture date are shown on the playback screen, and playback operations (pause, accelerated playback, etc.) are possible. With slideshow playback, on the other hand, stop playback is the only operation available. Because the guidance display for key operation and the capture date are not shown, however, the images are easier to view. In addition, with continuous playback, only the current image and all subsequent images are played back; with slideshow playback, all of the images in the memory are played back, starting with the currently displayed image.
