Precaution on copyright

Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provision of the copyright laws.

Do not shake or strike the camera

In addition to malfunctions and inability to record images, this may render the “Memory Stick Duo” unusable or image data breakdown, damage or loss may occur.

LCD screen, LCD finder (only models with an LCD finder) and lens

• The LCD screen and the LCD finder are

manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operat i onal for eff ective use. H ow ever, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen and the LCD finder. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.

• Be careful when placing the camera near a

window or outdoors. Exposing the LCD screen, the finder or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions.

• Do not press the LCD screen hardly. The screen

may be uneven and that may cause a malfunction.

• Do not press the lens portion hard, or it may

cause the malfunction of the lens.

• Images may be trailed on the LCD screen in a

cold location. This is not a malfunction.

Do not get the camera wet

When taking pictures outdoors in the rain or under similar conditions, be careful not to get the camera wet. Water entering the inside of the camera may cause malfunctions which in some cases may not be repairable. If moisture condensation occurs, see page 116 and follow the instructions on how to remove it before using the camera.

Do not expose the camera to sand or dust

Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunction.

Zoom

Your camera is equippe d with zoom functions that enlarge the image using optical zoom and two types of di gi ta l processing. Digital zoom can be sel ecte d from smart zoom or precision digital zoom. When digital zo om is se t, th e z oom metho d switches from optical zo om to dig ital zo om when the zoom scale exceeds 3×. To use only th e optical zoo m, set [Digital Zoom] to [Off] on the Setup screen (page 114). In this case, the digi ta l zoom area does not appear in the zoom scale display bar on the LCD screen, and the maximum zoom is 3×. The enlargement method and the zoom scale differ according to the image si ze and the zoom type, so select the zoom to match the shooting purpose. When digital zoom is set and you press the zoom button, the zoom scal i ng in dic ator appears on the LCD screen as follows.

• The AF range finder frame does not appear

when using the digital zoom. The , or

indicators flashes, and AF operates with

priority on subjects located near the center.

Smart zoom

The image is enlarged with almost no distortion. This lets you use smart zoom with the same feeling as optic a l zo om. To set smart zoom, set [Digital Zoom] to [Smart] on the Setup screen (page 114). When you purchase your camera, it is set to smart zoom. The maximum zoom scal e de pe nds on the selected image size as follows.

Image size Maximum zoom scale

3M 3.8× 1M 6.1×

VGA 12×

When you purchase your camera, the image size is set to [5M]. Smart zoom cannot be used when the image size is set to [5M] or [3:2], so set a different image size.

• When us ing the smart zoom, the image on the

LCD screen may look rough. However, this phenomenon has no effect on the recorded image.

• You cannot use the smart zoom in the Multi

Burst mode.

Precision di gi t a l zoom

All image sizes are enlarged up to a maximum 6×. This functi on cuts out and enlarges a certain portion of the image, so the image quality deteriorates. To set precision digital zoom, set [Digital Zoom] to [Precision] on the Setup screen (page 114).

Shooting close-ups — Macro

The close-ups (Macro) reco rding mode is used when zooming up subje c ts such as flowers or insects. Setting the zoom all the way to the W side lets you shoot subjects at distances as clos e as 8 cm. However, the minimum focus distance varies acco r ding to the zoom position. Th erefore, shooting with the zoom set all the way to the W side is recommended.

When the zoom is set all the way to the W side:

Approx. 8 cm (3 1/4 i n ches) from the lens surface

When the zoom is set all the way to the T side:

Approx. 25 cm (9 7/8 inches) from the lens surface

• Using Spot AF is recommended (page 47).

When this happens, check the histogram while playing back a single-image or during Quick Review. In particular a large difference may appear in the following cases: – When the flash strobes – When [PFX] (P.Effect) is set to [Solarize] – When the shutter speed is slow or high

• The histogram may not appear for images

recorded using other cameras.

Shooting techniques

Normally, the camera automatically sets the exposure. If the image is too dark or too bright as shown below, we recommend that you adjust the exposure value manually with viewing the histogram. When shooting a back-lit subject or a subject against a white (e.g. snowy) background, adjust the exposure toward the + side. When shooting a black subject that fills the screen, adjust the exposure toward the – side.

Shooting techniques

The subject coloring is affected by the lighting conditions. For example, the entire image appears blue under sunlight in the summer, and white items gain a reddish tint under incandescent light bulbs, etc. The human eye can resolve these problems, but digital still cameras cannot recognize the correct colors without adjustments. Normally, the camera makes these adjustments automatically , b ut if recorded image colors appear unnatural, we recommend that you adjust the white balance.
