Key Features

The illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual product. In addition,

some of the display screens have been enlarged.

Equipped with a high magnification 7.1×

wide angle zoom lens

This camera has a compact body, featuring

a 28-200mm* 7.1× optical zoom lens that

covers a wide range of shooting. This lens

can be used to take pictures in various

indoor and outdoor situations.

* Equivalent to that on a 35 mm camera

Camera shake correction function

reduces blurring (P.117)

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.

Macro shooting at 1 cm (P.41) and close-

up flash shooting at 25 cm (Telephoto)

or 20 cm (Wide-angle) (P.43)

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 25 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 25 cm for the

telephoto side, you can also take clear

macro shots even under low light

conditions.

Dynamic range double-shot function

(P.82)

The camera shoots with an expanded

range of recordable brightness (dynamic

range). This lets you record images while

reducing areas that are overly bright or dark

for high contrast subjects.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Multi-pattern auto white balance (P.122)

Try setting the white balance to [Multi-P

AUTO] when shooting in lighting situations

that combine sun and shade or areas

illuminated by the flash and areas not

illuminated by the flash. Using [Multi-P

AUTO] makes it possible to capture images

with more faithful color tones.

Consecutive shooting with seven focus

points (P.100)

For multi-target AF, the camera

automatically detects multiple focus points

and consecutively shoots pictures while

focusing at those points. This function is

especially effective for telephoto and macro

mode shooting.

Various continuous shooting functions

(P.85)

In addition to a conventional continuous

mode that lets you take 4 pictures in 1

second, this camera comes with M-Cont

Plus, which lets you record 30 consecutive

pictures of the previous 1 second once you

release the shutter release button. You can

also select a high-speed continuous mode

(Speed Cont), which lets you take 120

consecutive pictures in 1 second. This is

useful for capturing the decisive moment of

a fast-moving subject.

Electronic level function to help keep the

image level (P.58)

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.

Flag function quickly displays specified

images (P.136)

Save your favorite image files, or useful

image files, such as a train time table or a

map, to Flag Function and then press the

Fn (Function) button to easily display these

files whenever you like.

6_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.}

Easy shooting mode for reliable shooting

even by beginners (P.38)

Easy mode lets you set [Picture Quality/Size]

and other essential functions. With this mode,

even first-time users can comfortably use the

camera. When you shoot a subject at close

range, for example, the macro mode is

enabled automatically.

High-resolution picture display

The 3-inch 920,000-dot VGA picture display

reproduces subject details with greater

clarity. This high-resolution picture display is

also able to display 81 thumbnail images at

the same time. This is useful for quickly

searching through a large volume of images

for a certain image.

Easily customize your favorite shooting

settings with My Settings mode (P.81)

You can customize two groups of settings,

and then turn the mode dial to MY1/MY2 to

shoot with those registered settings.

AF/AE target shift function that allows you

to lock AF and AE onto a location of your

choice (P.64)

This is a function that enables you to shift and

lock the AF/AE target when you are taking

pictures just by pressing a button, without

needing to move the camera.

Select

Use the camera to easily make

corrections to images you have shot

(P.140, 142, 145)

Trim

Help

After you shoot a still image, you can crop

part of the image (trim), automatically adjust

the brightness (level compensation) or adjust

the color tones (white balance

Cancel

About the Battery

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. 300

* When [LCD Auto Dim] (G P.179) 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. (G P.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 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.

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. (G P.163)

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.

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.47.

• Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on

the capacity of the SD memory card. (G P.223)

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

About the Electronic Level

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

and holding the DISP. button (G P.182), 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.182.

ꢀ 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.

The level indicator becomes green, indicating that

the scale is in the middle.

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.

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

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

(G P.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) (G P.182).

• 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.

About the Histogram Display

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. (G P.142)

• 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.120.

Dynamic Range Double Shot Mode

(Q )

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.

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 to +2.0. Setting the level higher (+)

makes the picture brighter and lower (-) makes the picture darker.

(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.

ISO Sensitivity

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. (G P.173)

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./OK button. This section explains

easy ways to change the setting with the ADJ./OK button.

To use the shooting menu, see “Using the Menu” (G P.96).

Press the ADJ./OK button in shooting mode.

Press the ADJ./OK button #$until the ISO setting

menu appears.

Press the ADJ./OK button.

• The setting appears on the screen.

124_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.}

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

•

When the ISO setting is set to [Auto], the maximum sensitivity is equivalent to ISO 400

if the flash is used. When the image size is 3456 × 2592, the ISO setting is [Auto] and

the flash is not fired, the ISO setting is between 80 and 200.

•

Images shot with a higher sensitivity may appear grainy.

When the ISO sensitivity is set to [Auto] or [Auto-Hi], the ISO sensitivity that displays

when half-pressing the shutter release button may differ from the actual ISO

sensitivity in some cases (when using the flash, etc.).
