Key Features

* The illustrations shown in this manual may differ from the actual items.

Wide-angle zoom lens can capture wide-

angle pictures

This camera has a compact body only

25 mm thick, featuring a 24-72 mm* 3×

optical zoom lens that covers a wide range

of shooting. The wide-angle lens is great for

capturing buildings, landscape scenes,

group photos, and more.

*Equivalent to that on a 35 mm camera

Camera shake correction function

reduces blurring (P.137)

The camera comes with a camera shake

correction function to allow you to take

clearer pictures with minimized blurring

even indoors, at night and in other

situations where camera shake may occur.

Aperture priority mode, manual

exposure mode, and program shift mode

for fine-tuned adjustments

You can manually set the aperture value

and shutter speed. This small, compact,

and lightweight camera has advanced

modes that rival those of digital SLR

cameras.

CCD with approx. 12.1 effective megapixels

and RAW mode capable of recording up to

5 consecutive shots (P.105)

The camera has a CCD with approx. 12.1 million

effective pixels to ensure high-resolution images.

With RAW mode, you can also use the camera’s

image processingengineto savethe rawpicture

data as a DNG file (up to five consecutive

images) before converting it to JPEG format.

This makes it possible to perform high quality

image processing on a computer with minimal

image quality deterioration (requires image

editing software that supports DNG files). When

taking pictures in RAW mode, a JPEG file based

on the DNG file is recorded at the same time.

Macroshooting (P.49) at 1 cm, plus close-up

flash shooting (P.51) at 20 cm for wide-angle

and 15 cm for telephoto shots

The camera is equipped with close-up

functions that allow you to take pictures at a

distance of only 1 cm for the wide-angle side

and 4 cm for the telephoto side, from the

front of the lens to the subject.

Since the flash supports distances of only 20

cm for the wide-angle side and 15 cm for the

telephoto side, you can also take clear

macro shots even under low light conditions.

Variety of accessories for greater

creative expression (P.19)

You can use the camera with a 0.79× wide

conversion lens (19-mm*) or 1.88× tele

conversion lens (135-mm*), according to your

shooting purpose (use with the hood &

adapter). Enhance your photographic

experience with a variety of optional

accessories, including an external viewfinder,

cable switch, and self retaining lens cap.

*Equivalent to that on a 35 mm camera

Electronic level function to help keep the

image level (P.67)

The camera is equipped with an electronic

level function that is useful for keeping the

image level when taking pictures of scenery

or buildings. The camera uses a level

indicator displayed on the picture display

and a level sound to let you know whether

the image is level.

and easier operations (P.26)

You can use the up-down dial and ADJ.

shooting settings and various menu

operations.

and then turn the mode dial to MY1/MY2/

MY3 to shoot with those registered settings.

Fn (Function) buttons enables easy

mode switching with a single push of the

button (P.195)

When a function is assigned to either of the

two Fn (Function) buttons, you can perform

the assigned function, such as switching to

JPEG mode or RAW mode, switching to auto

focus or manual focus, or switching to color or

black-and-white mode, simply by pressing the

Fn1/Fn2 button. You can also assign various

other shooting settings to the Fn1/Fn2 button.

Compatibility with AAA batteries

eliminates concerns about the batteries

running out while you’re traveling (P.32)

In addition to the supplied large-capacity

rechargeable battery for long periods of

shooting and playback, the camera is also

compatible with AAA alkaline batteries,

AAA Oxyride batteries, and AAA nickel-

metal hydride batteries. This eliminates

concerns about the batteries running out

while you’re traveling.

Irodio Photo & Video Studio software for

browsing, viewing, and editing still

images and movies (P.221)

This software enables you to view, organize,

and perform simple editing (supporting DNG

file format) of shot images. You can also use

the video editor function to create movies using

still images, video clips, audio, and music files.

Direct printing without the use of a

computer (P.177)

A direct print-compatible printer can be

connected to the camera with the USB

cable to directly transfer images to the

printer. This allows for easy printing without

using a computer.

About the Battery

Rechargeable Battery DB-60 (supplied)

This is a lithium-ion battery. 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.

Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also use the following types of batteries.

• AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores)

These batteries are easily obtainable. However, in a low-temperature environment,

the storage capacity of shots will decrease. Warm the batteries before use. It is

recommended that you use the rechargeable battery when using the camera for a

long time.

• AAA Oxyride Batteries (available in stores)

These are not rechargeable batteries, but they can be used longer in a digital camera

than AAA alkaline batteries.

• AAA Nickel-metal Hydride Batteries (available in stores)

These batteries are economical because you can recharge and reuse them over and

over again. For charging the batteries, please use a battery charger that is

compatible with the batteries.

32_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.}

Storage capacity of shots ---------------------------------------------------------------------

• Approximate storage capacity of shots you can take

Battery Type

Storage capacity of Shots

(Normal Mode)

Rechargeable Battery (DB-60)

Approx. 350^*1

Approx. 45^*2

AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores)

Approximately 350 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.

Approximately 50 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.

• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on, 30

seconds between shots, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after each 10 shots).

• The storage capacity of shots when using AAA alkaline batteries is based on the use

of Panasonic AAA alkaline batteries.

• The storage capacity 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. For long periods of use, it is recommended that you carry spare batteries.

Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• The nickel-metal hydride batteries available in stores are not factory-charged.

Charge them before use.

• The nickel-metal hydride batteries may be inert and consequently may not supply

power immediately after they are purchased or when left unused for more than a

month. In such a case, recharge the batteries two or three times before use. The

batteries self-discharge with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge them

before use.

• The life of an AAA alkaline battery depends on the brand and the storage time from

the date of production. In addition, the life of an alkaline battery becomes shorter at

low temperatures.

• Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell and Ni-Cd batteries, cannot be used.

• 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-60). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

SD Memory Card (available in stores)

You can store still 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 approx. 54 MB.

To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a

high-capacity SD memory card.

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.186)

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.

When no SD memory card is loaded

When an SD memory card is loaded

Records to the internal memory

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.

34_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.}

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.56.

• Movie recording time and the storage capacity of still pictures varies depending on

the SD memory card. (GP.248)

• You can copy images stored in the internal memory to an SD memory card.

(GP.166)

• SDHC memory card (16 GB) can also be used.

About the Electronic Level

When [Level Setting] is set to on in the setup menu or by pressing

and holding the DISP. button (GP.202), 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.202.

ꢀWith [Level Setting] set to [Display]:

The level indicator appears on the picture display. When the

camera is level, the level indicator becomes green, indicating that

the scale is in the middle. When the camera is tilted, the mark on

the level indicator becomes orange, and indicates the opposite side

of the direction in which the camera is tilted.

ꢀWith [Level Setting] set to [Disp + Snd]:

The level indicator appears on the picture display. When the

camera is level, the level indicator becomes green, indicating that

the scale is in the middle, and the level sound is continually emitted

at a set interval. When the camera is tilted, the mark on the level

indicator becomes orange, and indicates the opposite side of the

direction in which the camera is tilted.

ꢀWith [Level Setting] set to [Sound]:

When the camera is level, a level sound is continually emitted at a

Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• If the camera is tilted too much, the mark on the level indicator becomes red and

indicates the opposite end of the direction in which the camera is tilted.

• When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function can be used

to determine whether the image is vertically level.

Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• If the camera is tilted too far forward or backward, or it cannot be determined whether

the camera is level, the level indicator becomes red.

• During grid guide, no display, or when the picture display is turned off (except when

an LCD viewfinder is attached)(GP.64), the level sound is emitted, but the level

indicator is not displayed. When [Level Setting] is set to [Disp + Snd], 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 [Disp + Snd] or [Sound] and

[Vol. Settings] is set to [^{ꢁ ꢁ ꢁ}] (Mute) (GP.199).

• Use this function as reference so see if images are level when shooting images. The

accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be guaranteed.

Histogram

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 without anything else, this

picture is over-exposed with too many

pixels only for highlight sections.

If the histogram has only peaks on the

left side without anything else, this

picture is under-exposed with too

many pixels only for shadow sections.

Correct the exposure to an appropriate

level.

Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• The histogram displayed on the picture display is for reference only.

• After shooting, you can correct the brightness and contrast of the image by adjusting

the histogram. (GP.169)

• 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.138.

Shooting with a Set Aperture Value

(A: Aperture Priority Mode)

Setting the mode dial to A (aperture priority mode) allows you to

manually set the aperture value. Once the aperture value is set, the

camera automatically sets the optimal shutter speed.

Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you

to blur the background and capture a sharp portrait of the

foreground subject. Selecting a higher aperture value (closing the

aperture) allows you to capture an image with everything from the

foreground to the background in focus.

The aperture values that can be selected differ according to the

zoom position.

Aperture values for wide angle shooting: 2.5 to 9.1

Aperture values for telephoto shooting: 4.4 to 15.8

Note ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•

Depending on the set aperture value, the image may be overexposed and the [!AE]

symbol will appear when shooting in particularly bright places. In this case, select a

higher aperture value (closing the aperture), or set [Auto Aper. Shift] to [On]

(GP.149). When [Auto Aper. Shift] is set to [On], in aperture priority mode, the

camera will automatically raise the aperture value so the correct exposure can be

obtained.

•

The aperture opens or closes once the shutter release button is pressed.

Although the range of fluctuation for the set aperture value is kept to a minimum, there

may be some fluctuation in the aperture value depending on the zoom position.

Depending on the aperture value, some shutter speeds may not be available.

Note ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•

The number of images that can be stored in the internal memory or SD memory card

depends on the [Pic Quality/Size] setting. (GP.248)

There are three picture quality modes: Normal mode (N), Fine mode (F), and RAW

mode.

•

Normal mode:

The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally,

shooting is done in this mode.

Fine mode:

The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the

picture quality is better than in Normal.

RAW mode:

The raw image data is saved as a RAW format file (.DNG file).

A JPEG file is also recorded at the same time. This allows you

to use image editing software to edit the image while retaining

the high quality at the time the image was shot.

Shooting with RAW mode ----------------------------------------------------------------

Normally, a shot image is processed and compressed by the camera and then saved as

a small JPEG file.

When shooting in RAW mode, shot images are not processed by the camera. The raw

data loaded from the camera’s sensor is stored in the DNG file created when shooting in

RAW mode. A DNG file is a raw image format designed by Adobe Systems. You can use

image editing software compatible with the DNG file format to edit the near-original

image data on a computer. You can use the provided Irodio Photo & Video Studio to

perform simple editing of DNG files on Windows. However, you cannot use the Irodio

Photo & Video Studio to edit DNG files on a Macintosh. Use a commercially-available

software that can edit DNG files.

When shooting in RAW mode, note the following:

•

RAW mode cannot be used with certain shooting functions. Please see the

restrictions listed for individual functions.

No date is added to the DNG file even if [Date Imprint] is set. The date is added to the

JPEG file recorded at the same time as the DNG file.

[Image Settings] settings on the shooting menu apply only to the JPEG file recorded

at the same time.

You can use [RAW/JPEG Setting] on the setup menu to change the picture quality and

image size of the JPEG recorded at the same time. (GP.212)

Changing the Exposure

(Exposure Comp.)

The exposure setting enables you to select the brightness level for

your picture. Normally, if your subject is centered, backlight

compensation is automatically activated, and you can shoot with

the correct exposure.

In the following cases, or when you intentionally want to change the

exposure, you can adjust the exposure setting. Exposure can be

specified in the range from -2.0 EV to +2.0 EV. Setting the level

higher (+) makes the picture brighter and lower (-) makes the

picture darker.

For backlighting

When the background is particularly bright, the subject will appear dark

(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

higher (+).

When your subject is darkish

The entire picture will turn out bright (overexposed). Set the exposure level

lower (-).

The same happens when you take a photo of a subject in a spotlight.

To change the setting, use the shooting menu or the ADJ. lever. This section explains easy

ways to change the shading setting with the ADJ. lever. (GP.72)

Changing the Sensitivity

(ISO Setting)

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 64, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800,

ISO 1600

When ISO setting is set to [Auto], the camera automatically changes

the sensitivity according to the distance, brightness, macro settings,

and 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 the upper limit of the sensitivity can be set higher than in [Auto].

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. Set the maximum sensitivity for [Auto-Hi] in the setup

menu. (GP.194)

If you do not want to allow the camera to change the ISO sensitivity,

select an ISO setting other than [Auto] or [Auto-Hi].

To change the setting, use the shooting menu or the ADJ. lever. This section explains easy
