About the Histogram
• A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to
white) and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis.
• It allows the camera user to easily check the way a picture is being exposed.
• When the values are concentrated to
the left as A, the picture is under
exposed.
• When the values in the histogram are
distributed as B, the exposure is
adequate and the brightness is
well-balanced.
• When the values are concentrated to
the right as C, the picture is over

Recording pictures (basic)
ª Focusing
• When most of the subjects in the
screen are bright (e.g. blue sky on a
clear day, snowy field, etc.), the
recorded pictures may become dark.
In this case, compensate the
exposure. (P41)
• You can focus on the subject up to a
distance of 1.64 feet (50 cm).
• If you press the shutter button fully
without prefocusing, pictures may be
blurry or unfocused.
• When the subject is focused, the
camera beeps 2 times. If not, it beeps
4 times. Refer to P25 if you want to
turn the operational sound off.
• In the following cases, the camera
cannot focus on subjects properly in
Normal Picture mode.
ª Jitter (camera shake)
• When jitter could occur, the jitter alert
1 appears.

• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod. If you
cannot use a tripod, be careful of how
you hold the camera. (P31)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing
the shutter button.
–When recording a very bright
subject.
We recommend taking pictures using
prefocus (P66) or AF/AE lock (P33).
• Even if the focus indication appears
and the subject is focused, it is
canceled when you release the shutter
button. Press the shutter button
halfway again.
ª Care for the camera
• Check to make sure there is no stain
or dirt on the lens.
• Do not touch the lens directly.
• Do not cause impact to the lens or
lens barrel (P8).
ª Exposure
• When turning the camera on in the
recording mode, the lens barrel comes
out. Check to make sure there are no
obstacles in front of the lens.
• Take care not to touch or stain the
surface of the lens. When the lens
becomes dirty or dust attaches to the
lens, use a commercial blower brush
to remove dust or dirt and wipe the
lens with a dry, soft cloth. If you use
solvents such as benzine, alcohol or
thinner, the camera may be discolored
or broken.
• If the exposure is not adequate, the
indication of the aperture value and
the shutter speed on the screen turns
red. (However, the aperture value and
the shutter speed do not turn red when
the flash is activated.)
• The brightness of the screen may
differ from that of recorded pictures. In
particular, when taking pictures in dark
places with slow shutter, the subject
looks dark on the screen, but the
actual picture is bright.

picture will not be influenced. This
function make it easy to adjust the
focus.
• We recommend setting the clock
again before taking pictures. (P21)
• When the time for power save is set
(P24), the camera is automatically
turned off if you do not operate within
the set time. When operating the
camera again, press the shutter button
or turn the camera off and on.
When recording a picture of people with
a composition such as in the above
picture, you cannot focus on the subject
because it is out of AF area in usual
operation.
In this case,
1. Aim the AF area at the subject.
2. Press the shutter button halfway to fix
the focus and the exposure.
• When the subject is focused, the
focus indication lights.
3. Keep pressing the shutter button
halfway, move the camera as you
compose the picture.

: AUTO/Red-eye reduction
The flash is automatically activated

It reduces the red-eye phenomenon
(eyes of the subject appear red in
photo flash) by lighting the flash
before the actual recording of the
picture.
Use this when you take pictures of

: Forced ON
The flash is activated every time

Use this when your subject is back-lit
or under fluorescent light.
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, it makes the
shutter speed slow when the flash is
activated, so that the dark
background landscape will become
bright. Simultaneously it reduces the
red-eye phenomenon.
Use this when taking pictures of
people in front of a dark background.

Cautions for Use
ª Optimal Use of the Camera
When you use the camera on a rainy
or snowy day or on a beach or similar
place, do not let grit, fine dust or
seawater get into the camera.
Keep the camera away from
magnetized equipment (such as a
microwave oven, TV, video game
equipment, etc.).
• If you use the camera on or near a TV,
pictures and sounds may be disturbed
due to electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Do not use the camera near a cell
phone because doing so may cause
noise to adversely affect the pictures
and sounds.
• Grit or dust may damage the camera
or card. (Care should be taken when
inserting and removing the card.)
• If seawater splashes onto the camera,
wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it
well, and use it to wipe the camera
body carefully. Then, wipe it again
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
pictures may be distorted by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation
generated by a microprocessor may
adversely affect the camera, causing
the disturbance of pictures and
sounds.
When carrying this camera, take care
not to drop or hit it.
• The outer case may be destroyed by
the strong shock, and it may cause
malfunction of this camera.
• For storing or transporting the camera,
place it in a bag or case lined with soft
pads to prevent the coating on the
camera body from being worn.
• If the camera is affected by
Do not use benzine, thinner or
alcohol for cleaning the camera.
• Before cleaning the camera, remove
the battery or disconnect the AC
adaptor from the electrical outlet.
• The camera body may be deformed
and the surface finish may peel off.
• Wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth.
To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a

magnetically charged equipment and
does not function properly, turn the
camera off and remove the battery or
disconnect AC adaptor and then insert
the battery or connect AC adaptor
again. Thereafter, turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines, recorded pictures
or sounds may be adversely affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile
chemicals onto the camera.
• If the camera is sprayed with such
chemicals, the camera body may be
damaged and the surface finish may
peel off.

ª Condensation
Dispose of an unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire
because it may cause an explosion.
• An unusable battery should be
discarded in accordance with battery
recycling laws.
When using the camera outdoors during
very cold weather, condensation can
form on the camera and lens when you
return to a warm place.
When condensation has taken place:
Turn the camera off and leave the
camera in this condition for about
2 hours. When the camera becomes
close to the ambient temperature, the
condensation disappears naturally.
For information you can call the RBRC
hotline at 1-800-822-8837.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the camera, remove the
card and the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
ª Optimal Use of the Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power is
based upon the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery will be
shorter.
59oF to 77oF (15oC to 25oC),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
Battery
• Do not leave the camera and the
battery at the place where the
temperature is too high, such as inside
a car during the summer.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the battery body and
terminals are deformed.
Inserting a deformed battery to the
camera may damage the camera.
• Extremely high or low temperatures
will shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty
places, the terminals may rust and
cause malfunctions.
• Do not allow the battery terminals to
come in contact with metal objects
(such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
This can result in a short circuit or heat
generation and, if you touch the
battery in this condition, you may be
badly burned.
• Store the battery in a completely
discharged state. To store the battery
for a long period of time, we
recommend charging it once every
year and storing it again after you
completely use up the charged
capacity.
Be sure to remove the battery after
use.
If it is left inserted to the camera, a
minute amount of current is consumed
even when the camera is turned off. If
the battery is left inserted in the camera
for a long time, discharge takes place.
The battery may become unusable even
after it is charged.

AC adaptor
• If you use the AC adaptor near a radio,
radio reception may be disturbed.
Keep the AC adaptor 3.28 feet (1 m)
or more away from radio.
• When the AC adaptor is in use, it may
generate whirring sounds. However,
this is not a malfunction.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the
AC cable. (If it is left connected, a
minute amount of current is
consumed.)
• The motion images created by flip
animation function are store in
[100_PANA] or other folder.
ª Printing pictures recorded with
HDTV mode
• Keep the terminal of the AC adaptor
and battery clean.
When you print pictures recorded by
setting the picture size to [HDTV]
(1920k1080 pixels), both ends of the
pictures may be cut out.
ª LCD monitor
• In a place with drastic temperature
changes, condensation may form on
the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth.
• If the camera is extremely cold when
you turn the camera on, the image on
the LCD monitor is slightly darker than
usual at first. However, as the internal
temperature increases, it goes back to
the normal brightness.
To print pictures with ends:
When you order photo studios to print
pictures:
• Ask the photo studio if the pictures can
be printed with both ends.
When you print pictures with your
printer:
• When using the printer with a trimming
feature or a feature which cuts out
both edges of the pictures, cancel the
feature for printing.
• The feature depends on the printer
used. Refer to the operating
instructions of the printer for details.

rights which vary from state to state. If a problem with this product
develops during or after the warranty period, you may contact your dealer
