Your camera is a digital movie camera with the ability to shoot and play back video clips with high image quality. Video clips can be recorded at a 60 fps frame rate with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and in addition, video clips recorded at 30 fps can be played back at 60 fps. Of course, your camera captures high­quality still images, as you would expect, and you can even capture still images while recording a video clip. The docking station makes it simple to connect other devices to your camera, providing you with the double advantages of both high functionality and ease of use.
Wide-screen recording and playback (HD mode) (page 54)
In addition to the standard recording mode (normal mode, 4:3 aspect ratio), your camera can both record and play back video clips in the wide-screen mode with a 16:9 aspect ratio (HD mode).

docking station. The battery pack can be charged when the camera is in the playback mode, but not in the shooting mode.
Do not charge the battery pack battery pack immediately after the camera has been in continuous use for a long time
i The battery pack becomes hot when the camera is used continuously for a
long time. If you attempt to charge the battery pack in this state, the charge indicator may flash red and it may not be possible to charge the battery pack. Wait until the battery pack has cooled down before attempting to charge it.
HINT 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.

BASIC OPERATION
BEFORE TAKING PICTURES
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 strap.
HINT
i Images captured in the still image shooting mode can be rotated when
they are played back (page 99).
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.
39 English
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 79).
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.
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.
English 40
BEFORE TAKING PICTURES
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 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 121).
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.
Checking the last image shot (instant review)
i After shooting a picture, you can immediately view it by pressing the SET
button once.
i During instant review of a video clip, normal play, reverse play and pause,
etc. are available (page 44).
i If you wish to delete the image (for a video clip, it must be in the pause or
stop mode), toggle the SET button up to access the delete function.
i You can view other images while the instant review display is showing by
toggling the SET button to the left or right.
i Cancel the instant review display by toggling the SET button down.

the brightness of the subject (aperture and shutter variable program AE).
Example: For simple shooting with minimum setup, using the camera’s automatic settings.
T: This allows you to set a specific shutter speed and enable/disable
the ND filter. The camera automatically sets an appropriate aperture size based on this setting (shutter speed priority AE).
Example: To set a fast shutter speed for capturing a clear image of a fast-moving object, or to set a slow shutter speed to shoot the flow of a background scene. By using the flash in combination with a slow shutter speed, you can create beautiful photographs of people against a background night scene (slow synchro photography).
g: This allows you to set a specific aperture size and enable/disable
the ND filter. The camera automatically sets an appropriate shutter speed based on this setting (aperture priority AE).
Example: To open the aperture for portraits with a blurred background (for a shallow field depth), or to close the aperture for a clear foreground and background (for a deep field depth).
,: This allows you to set a specific shutter speed, aperture size and
enable/disable the ND filter (manual exposure control).
Example: When shooting in a dark location without using the flash, set the shutter to stay open for a longer time (slow shutter). When used for shooting nighttime scenes, you can capture lights flowing across the image.
