Getting Ready
Turn the power on and get ready to shoot.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be sure the camera is off before removing the battery.
For information on how to turn the camera off, see P.28.
This camera uses the Rechargeable Battery DB-
70, a dedicated lithium-ion battery supplied with
the camera. It is economical because you can
recharge it using the battery charger and use it
over and over again. The rechargeable battery
needs to be charged before use. The battery is not charged at the
time of purchase.
Number of shots you can take ---------------------------------------------------------------
Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 290
* When [LCD Auto Dim] (GP.184) is set to [On]
Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on, 30
seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-angle or
wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after
each 10 shots).
You can take approximately 270 shots when [LCD Auto Dim] is set to [Off].
Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can
take. (GP.56)
The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of
time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.
If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we recommend carrying a
spare battery.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off
and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.
Please remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of
time.
When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium-ion
battery (DB-70). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
About the Battery

About Formatting---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it with this camera. If an error
message such as [Card Error] is displayed when an SD memory card is loaded in the
camera or the card has been used with a computer or other digital camera, you must
format the card with this camera prior to use. (GP.168)
Where images are recorded-------------------------------------------------------------------
When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera records images to the internal
memory; when an SD memory card is loaded, it records images to the SD memory
card.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera does not record to the internal memory,
even if the card is full.
Take care not to get the contacts of the card dirty.
About the SD Memory Card
(available in stores)
You can store images you have taken either in the camera’s
internal memory or on an SD memory card (available in stores).
The internal memory capacity is approximately 88 MB.
To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a
high-capacity SD memory card.
When no SD memory card is loaded When an SD memory card is loaded

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
Write-protecting your images ----------------------------------------------------------------
Move the write-protection switch on the SD memory card to
LOCK to prevent your still images from being accidentally erased
or the card from being formatted. If you unlock the card (by
returning the switch to its original position), it is once again
possible to erase images and format the card.
It is recommended to move the write-protection switch to LOCK
when you have some important data recorded.
Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because no
data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card before shooting.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For information on switching between the SD memory card and internal memory
during playback, see P.47.
Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on
the capacity of the SD memory card. (GP.232)

White Saturation Highlights Display -------------------------------------------------------
The white saturation areas of the image flash in black. White saturation is the loss of
tone that indicates the color shading in an image in which very bright areas of the
subject are rendered in white. An image with a loss of image tone cannot be edited
later. It is recommended that you shoot another image by changing the composition or
by setting the exposure level lower (-). (GP.124)

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
When [Level Setting] is turned on in the setup menu or by pressing
and holding the DISP. button (GP.187), the camera uses a level
indicator and level sound to let you know whether the image is level
during shooting. The level indicator is displayed during normal
symbol display and histogram.
This is useful for keeping the image level when taking pictures of
scenery or buildings. This is also very useful for taking pictures with
the horizon visible.
For information on how to set [Level Setting], see P.187.
With [Level Setting] set to [Display]:
The level indicator appears on the picture display. The level sound
will not emit.
With [Level Setting] set to [Display+Sound]:
The level indicator appears on the picture display. When the
camera is level, the level sound is continually emitted at a set
interval.
With [Level Setting] set to [Sound]:
When the camera is level, a level sound is continually emitted at a
set interval and the level indicator is not displayed.
About the Electronic Level
If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

Level indicator display
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off
(GP.56), the level sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed. When
[Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound], only the level sound is emitted.
The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when recording
movies, and during interval shooting.
The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when
shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.
No level sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound] or [Sound]
and [Volume Settings] is set to [
] (Mute) (GP.187).
Use this function as a reference to see if images are level when shooting images.
The accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be guaranteed.
When level:
The level indicator becomes green, indicating that
the scale is in the middle.
When tilted to the right or left:
The mark on the level indicator becomes orange,
indicating the opposite side of the direction in which
the camera is tilted.
When the camera is tilted too far to the right or left:
Half of the level indicator on the opposite side of the
direction in which the camera is tilted becomes red.
The mark on the level indicator is not displayed.
When the camera is tilted too far forward or backward,
or it cannot be determined whether the camera is level:
The top and bottom of the level indicator become
red. The mark on the level indicator is not
displayed.
When the camera is held vertically:
When shooting with the camera positioned
vertically, the level function can be used to
determine whether the image is vertically level.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
When Histogram is on, a histogram
appears in the lower right corner on the
picture display. A histogram is a graph
indicating the number of pixels on the
vertical axis and the brightness on the
horizontal axis (from left to right,
shadows (dark areas), midtones, and
highlights (bright areas)).
By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an
image without being affected by the brightness around the picture
display. This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright
or dark.
If the histogram has only peaks on the
right side, this picture is overexposed
with too many pixels only for highlight
sections.
If the histogram has only peaks on the
left side without anything else, this
picture is underexposed with too many
pixels only for shadow sections. Refer
to this histogram when correcting the
exposure.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The histogram displayed on the picture display is for reference only.
After taking a picture, you can correct its brightness and contrast by making
adjustments to the histogram. (GP.147)
Depending on the shooting conditions (use of the flash, dark surrounding light, etc.),
the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the brightness
of the shot image.
Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the best
possible result.
A histogram with peaks in the center may not necessarily provide the best result to
suit your particular requirements.
For example, an adjustment is required if you want to underexpose or overexpose
the image.
For information on how to correct the exposure compensation, see P.124.

The “dynamic range” of a digital camera refers to the range of
brightness that can be processed by the camera.
When you shoot a scene with high contrast, such as both a subject
in sunlight and a subject in a shaded area, the bright areas appear
overly bright and the image does not look natural. This is because
the range of brightness that can be processed by the camera is
narrower than that of the human eye.
When you set the mode dial to
Q and shoot, the scene is
reproduced with a smooth transition from the bright areas to the
dark areas, allowing you to capture a more natural-looking image.
Note ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Dynamic Range Double Shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with different
exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are combined together. This
mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes, so be careful of camera shake
when taking pictures. The J symbol is always displayed.

(underexposed). In this case, set the exposure level higher (+).
When your subject is whitish
The entire picture will turn out dark (underexposed). Set the exposure level

ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive film is to light. A greater
value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for
shooting an object in a dark place or a fast-moving object while
minimizing blurring.
You can select from the following ISO settings:
Auto, Auto-Hi, ISO 80, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, and
ISO 1600.
When ISO setting is set to [Auto], the camera automatically
changes the sensitivity according to the distance, brightness, zoom,
macro settings, and picture quality/size. Usually, use the camera in
the [Auto] mode.
When the ISO setting is set to [Auto-Hi] (auto high sensitivity), the
sensitivity is automatically set according to the shooting conditions
but a higher upper limit than in [Auto] can be set. When shooting a
dark subject, the shutter speed set in [Auto-Hi] is faster than in
[Auto], which may reduce camera shake or blurring of the subject.
The maximum ISO setting for [Auto-Hi] is specified in the setup
menu. (GP.178)
If you do not want to allow the camera to change the ISO sensitivity,
select an ISO setting other than [Auto] or [Auto-Hi].

Sample correction methods -------------------------------------------------------------
•Example 1)
To adjust the overall image brightness:
Select the middle point and move it to the
left to brighten the entire image.
Selecting the middle point and moving it to
the right darkens the entire image.
•Example 2)
To correct an overexposed or
underexposed image:
If the image in overexposed, move the left
point to the right so that it is aligned with
the left end of the histogram peaks.
If the image in underexposed, move the
right point to the left so that it is aligned with
the right end of the histogram peaks.
You can then adjust the overall image
brightness by moving the middle point left
or right.
•Example 3)
To boost the contrast in an image:
If an image is lacking in contrast, the
histogram peaks are concentrated toward
to the center. By aligning the left and right
points with the respective ends of the
histogram peaks, you can create an image
with clearly defined bright and dark areas.
You can then adjust the overall image
brightness by moving the middle point left
or right.

Cautions on Use
This product was manufactured for use in the country in which it was
purchased. The warranty is only valid in the country in which the camera
was purchased.
Should the product fail or malfunction while you are abroad, the
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or
bearing the expenditure incurred therefore.
Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.
While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other
objects. Take special care to not hit the lens and picture display.
Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it
consecutively more than necessary.
Do not touch the flash and keep foreign objects away from the firing unit.
Doing so can cause burns and fires.
Do not fire the flash near eyes. It could cause visual impairment (particularly
for infants).
Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.
The battery may become hot after extended use. Touching the battery

If the picture display or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become
washed out and images may become hard to view.
The picture display and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain
lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven
because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.
Do not forcefully press the surface of the picture display.
In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation
may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass
surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a
bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the
bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased to
a fairly small amount. If condensation occurs, remove the battery and
memory card, and wait until the moisture has dried before using the
camera.
To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera’s
microphone or speaker holes.
Do not get the camera wet. Do not operate the camera with wet hands. This
can result in malfunction or an electrical shock.
Before taking any important pictures (such as at weddings, on trips abroad,
etc.), test the camera to check operation and ensure proper functioning. We
