GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAMERA

Your camera can not only take still photos, it can also record video clips and
make audio recordings.
It’s loaded with lots of functions that are possible only in a digital camera,
including a super-quick focus, an easy-to-understand guidance display on a
large screen, a schedule-making function that incorporates your captured
images, and more.

Never again miss a great shot, thanks to the quick
focus: Touch focus (see page 28)

Just touch the shutter button lightly, and the touch sensor automatically
focuses the image (touch focus).

F3.3
1/30

Complex operation made easy with the guidance
feature: Shooting Guide display (see page 26)

The current shooting settings are visible right on the Shooting Screen. When
the camera detects a possible problem—such as camera shake due to a
slower shutter speed or an underexposed subject due to light from behind—
the appropriate countermeasures are shown on the display. Use the
suggestions, or not, as you wish to get exactly the photo you want.

About the internal backup battery

i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time

settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the
camera settings for about 7 days.

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.

How to hold the camera

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

Correct hold Incorrect hold

A finger is blocking the
lens or flash.

Make sure that the lens and flash are not blocked by your fingers or the
handstrap.

HINT

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

they are played back (page 112).

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.

About the touch sensor (touch focus)

With the touch sensor, the image is focused simply by a light finger-touch on
the shutter button (focus lock). With the subject in focus, just gently press the
shutter button to take the picture for a perfectly focused image.
At the same time, the touch sensor is temporarily deactivated whenever the
Mode Select Screen (page 31) or Shooting Setting Screen is displayed,
thereby facilitating operation of these screens.
Furthermore, you can also deactivate the touch sensor so that the autofocus
operates only when you press the shutter button halfway (page 65).

English 28

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 69).

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 on the subject while holding the
camera vertically.

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

29 English

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.

Hints for taking pictures

Muting the operation sounds

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

button, MENU button or SET button is pressed, as well as the audio
guidance when you switch the mode, can be muted (page 123).

Where is the image and audio data saved?

i All the image and sound data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory

or on the card installed in the camera.

i When a card is installed in the camera, the data is recorded on the card. If

no card is installed, the data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory.

Taking pictures in backlight conditions...

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

the characteristics of the CCD, 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 quickly, 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.

What is the camera focusing on?

i

The camera automatically determines the
correct focus by measuring from 9
different focus points within the shooting
area. If the target mark is at a position
that is different from the point you wish to
focus on, you can refocus, for example,
by changing the shooting angle.

i The large target mark appears when

the camera focuses on a wide area in
the center of the screen.

About the focus indicator

i

the subject is successfully focussed, or a

reference when shooting.

If the motion alert icon appears...

i During still image shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility

that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the
motion alert icon may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod
to stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to
automatic (page 44).

i When shooting with the scene select function set to the fireworks 3

brightness and use the flash only
when required. In a backlight
situation, if only the center of the
image is very dark, the flash will
operate to compensate (auto
flash).

m: The flash will operate with every

image captured regardless of the
conditions. Use this setting under
backlight conditions, when the
subject is in shade, under
fluorescent lighting conditions, etc.
(forced flash).

l: The flash will not operate even in dark situations. Use this setting

when capturing an image in a location where flash photography is
prohibited, or when shooting a night landscape scene (flash off).

J: The digital camera will detect the subject brightness and use the

flash only when required. At this time the flash will operate in a
manner that reduces the red reflection (“red-eye”) in the subject’s
eyes (red-eye reduction).
