Value The ISO sensitivity is fi xed to the selected value.

“ISO” is short for “International Organization for Standardization.” ISO standards specify the sensitivity for digital cameras and fi lm, thus codes such as “ISO 100” are used to represent sensitivity.

In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully lit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity, and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even under low light conditions. However, high sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may give it a grainy appearance.

Print Reservations (DPOF *1)In print reservations, the number of prints and date imprint option are saved in the image on the card. This enables easy printing at a printer or print shop supporting DPOF by using only the print reservations on the card without a computer or a camera.*1 DPOF is a standard for storing automatic printout

information from digital cameras.

Print reservations can be set only for the images stored on the card. Insert a card with recorded images before making print reservations.

DPOF reservations set by another DPOF device cannot be changed by this camera. Make changes using the original device. Making new DPOF reservations with this camera will erase the reservations made by the other device.

DPOF print reservations can be made for up to 999 images per card.

Troubleshooting

BatteryBattery“The camera does not work even when batteries are installed”.

Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction.“Inserting the battery and the SD/SDHC memory card (sold separately)” (p. 12), “Charging the battery and setting up using the supplied CD” (p. 13), “Charging the battery with the supplied USB-AC adapter” (p. 16)Battery performance may have been reduced temporarily due to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while.

Card/Internal memoryCard/Internal memory“An error message is displayed”.

“Error message” (p. 55)

Shutter buttonShutter button“No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed”.

Cancel sleep mode.To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the n button to turn the camera on.

Press the q button to switch to the shooting mode.Wait until #(fl ash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures.

MonitorMonitor“Diffi cult to see”.

Condensation*1 may have occurred. Turn off the power, and wait for the camera body to become acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry out before taking pictures.*1 Dew drops can form in the camera when it is

suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm, humid room.

“Vertical lines appear on the screen”.This condition may occur when the camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear sky and so on. The lines do not appear, however, in the fi nal image.

“The light is caught in the picture”.Shooting with fl ash in dark situations results in an image with many fl ash refl ections on dust in the air.

Date and time functionDate and time function“Date and time settings return to the default setting”.

If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for about a day*2, the date and time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.*2 The time until the date and time settings return to

the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded.

MiscellaneousMiscellaneous“The camera makes a noise when taking pictures”.

The camera may activate the lens and make a noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.

Shooting tipsWhen you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.

Focusing

“Focusing on the subject”Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the screenAfter focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 20)Set [AF Mode] (p. 35) to [Face/iESP]Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 35)The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is diffi cultIn the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Subjects with low contrast

Object with no vertical lines*1

*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.

When objects are at different distances

Fast-moving object

The subject is not in the center of the frame

Camera shake

“Taking pictures without camera shake”Taking pictures using N mode (p. 26)Select C (Sport) in s mode (p. 26)The C (Sport) mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivityIf a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a fl ash cannot be used.“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 32)

Exposure (brightness)

“Taking pictures with the right brightness”Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 30) fl ashA subject against backlight is brightened.Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 31)Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.

Color hue

“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear”

Taking pictures by selecting white balance (p. 32)Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB Auto] setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artifi cial light settings, and so on.)

Image quality

“Taking sharper pictures”Taking pictures with the optical zoomAvoid using digital zoom (p. 21, 36) to take pictures.Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivityIf the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy. The resulting image is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.“Selecting the ISO sensitivity” (p. 32)

Batteries

“Making batteries last longer”Avoid any of the following operations when not actually taking pictures because they deplete the battery power

Repeatedly pressing the shutter button halfwayRepeatedly using the zoom
