Notes on the LCD screen and lens

• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over

99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording.

Black, white, red, blue or green dots

Table of

Operation

• If water droplets or other liquids splash on the LCD screen and make it wet, immediately wipe off the screen with a soft cloth. Leaving liquids on the LCD screen surface can harm the quality and cause a malfunction.

• Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions. Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors.

• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.

• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

• Be careful not to bump the lens, and be careful not to apply force to it.

On moisture condensation

• If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera.

• If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.

• The shortest shooting distance is approximately 8 cm (3 1/4 inches) (1 cm (13/32 inches) in

Intelligent Auto or Easy Mode) (W), 50 cm (1 ft 7 3/4 inches) (T) (from the lens). Shoot in the Close focus mode when you shoot a subject closer than the shooting distance.

• When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to

flash slowly and the beep does not sound. Either recompose the shot or change the focus setting (page 61).

• Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:

– It is dark and the subject is distant. – The contrast between the subject and the background is poor. – The subject is seen through glass. – The subject is moving quickly. – There is reflective light or shiny surfaces. – The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.

Guidance bar

Notes

• If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full panoramic image.

• Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.

• Under low light conditions, panoramic images may be blurred or the shooting may not be successful.

• Under lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lights, the brightness or color of the combined image will not always be the same.

• When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different in brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change AE/AF locked angle and shoot again.

• Sweep Panorama is not suitable for the following situations: – Subjects are moving – Subjects are too close to the camera – Images with little contrast, such as sky, sandy beach or lawn – Images with constant changes, such as waves or waterfalls

• You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations: – You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly. – There is too much camera shake.

A digital image is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels. If it contains a large number of pixels, the image becomes large, it takes up more memory, and the image is displayed in fine detail. “Image size” is shown by the number of pixels. Although you cannot see the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data processing time differ when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen.

Index)

ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity.

High ISO sensitivity

Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur. However, the image tends to become noisy.

Low ISO sensitivity

Records a smoother image. However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.

zHints for preventing blur

Index

Even though the camera is steady, the subject moves during the exposure and is captured blurred when the shutter button is pressed. Camera shake is reduced automatically, however, the function does not effectively reduce subject blur. Subject blur occurs frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions. In such a case, shoot with the below tips in mind.
