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. 290  
* When [LCD Auto Dim] (G P.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. (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.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.  
When no SD memory card is loaded  
When an SD memory card is loaded  
Records to the internal memory  
Records 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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.23  
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.232)  
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.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.

Level indicator display  
When level:  
The level indicator becomes green, indicating that  
the scale is in the middle.  
Green  
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.  
Orange  
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.  
Red  
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.  
Red  
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.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.

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.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.

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.  
3
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.

Flicker from fluorescent lights may appear as horizontal bands. Fluorescent lighting  
may also affect colors and brightness.  
Dynamic Range Expansion Effect  
You can select from five dynamic range expansion effects, from

Exposure Compensation  
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 to +2.0. 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.

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.178)  
4
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.100).

Note ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
When the ISO setting is set to [Auto], the maximum sensitivity is equivalent to ISO 800  
if the flash is used. When 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.).

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.  
Overexposed image  
• 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  
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  
immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.  
• 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.  
10  
• 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  
recommend that you keep this manual and spare battery on hand.
