By using the photo wide D-range feature, even in an image comprised of both
bright and dark subjects, all the subjects will be captured at a natural
brightness level. For example, when a strong backlight is created, as can
occur when photographing in bright surroundings, a subject in a bright
background appears completely white. Furthermore, the details of dark areas
created by the shadows of a backlight are normally obscured in blackness.
Shooting with the photo wide D-range function smoothly adjusts the
brightness levels from light areas to dark areas.

HINT
Other settings during photo wide D-range shooting

• When the photo wide D-range is set to "ON", the following settings
automatically change as indicated.

CAUTION

• When the scene select function is set to night view portrait _ or lamp

• The photo wide D-range function does not work when the shutter speed is
slower than 1/60.

• The photo wide D-range effect may be insignificant if you are shooting in
an extremely bright or extremely dark environment.

• Note that the exposure time during photo wide D-range shooting is
comparatively longer than for normal shooting.

• When there are smear or flare effects in the image, or when it is misty,
shooting with the photo wide D-range function enabled may in some cases
produce an unnatural appearing image.

• Depending on the surrounding conditions, for example, when the light
sources of light and dark areas are different, an unnatural appearing image
may be produced.

• Image processing after shooting may take some time.

your camera to a DPOF-compatible printer to produce your prints. You can
also set the printing instructions for the desired images, and then have the

requested images printed automatically (page 151).

A card must be formatted with this camera:

• After purchasing, when used for the first time, or

• If it was formatted using a personal computer or another digital camera.

The card cannot be formatted if the lock switch is set to the "LOCK" position.

Proceed with the format procedure after setting the lock switch to the
unlocked position.

CAUTION
Caution during formatting

• Do not turn off the power to the camera or eject the card during formatting.

Formatting erases the data

• When a card is formatted, all data recorded on the card is erased.
Protected data (pages 55 and 104) is also erased, so before formatting a

card, any data you want to keep should be copied to your personal
computer's hard disk or other storage medium.

Caution regarding disposing/transferring the card (recovering data from
a reformatted card)

• If a card is reformatted or the data is erased from the card using the
camera or a computer, the card's control data may be merely modified and

the data itself may not be completely erased from the card.

• In some cases it may be possible to recover the data from a reformatted
card using special software for that purpose. However, if the camera is

used to execute a full format, it will be impossible to recover the data even
by the use of data recovery software.

• If you are disposing of a card, it is recommended that you physically
destroy it. If you are transferring the card to someone else to use, it is

recommended that you use the camera's full format function to reformat
the card, or use commercially available software for erasing card data.

Managing data is the responsibility of the user.

• Battery life may differ even among battery packs of the same type.

• Depending on the usage of the camera (such as the number of times the
flash is used, the use of the monitor, etc.) or the ambient temperature
(temperatures below 10 °C [50°F]), the number of images that can be
saved on a fully charged battery pack will vary greatly.

• It is recommended that you prepare an extra battery pack(s) when taking
pictures at a wedding or while traveling, for example, so you don't miss
capturing images of important moments due to the battery pack power
running out. The same is recommended for taking photos in cold
environments. (in a ski area, for example, the battery pack can be kept
warm in your pocket until ready to use.)

Note: Designed mainly by the Japan Electronics

and Information Technology Industries
Association (JEITA), DCF (Design rule for
Camera File system) is standard for digital
still camera image files to provide
interoperability between digital photography
devices for the images stored on removable
memory cards. However, it is not
guaranteed that all devices will support the

DCF standard.

MPEG-4 audio (AAC compression)
48 kHz sampling rate, 16-bit stereo format

Data storage SD Memory Card (accepts a maximum 32 GB
media SDHC Memory Card)

Image sensor/ t/2.5-inch (1.0 cm) CMOS sensor

* Video clip files recorded with models VPC-CA65 and VPC-CG65 are in

the same H.264 format as this model. However, such files cannot be

played back, since they are not compatible due to differences such as the

data compression method.
