LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.
Take a few test shots
Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is
recording correctly.

Other Charging Precautions
• Use the special charger (BC-81L if included with camera, BC-80L if purchased
separately) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-80). Never use any other
type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in
unexpected accident.
• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery
time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to
use it.
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.
If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or
radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

1. Open the battery cover.
Pressing the battery cover, slide it in
the direction indicated by the arrow.

Preparing a Memory Card
Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and
movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for
greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded
while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card
is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
Supported Memory Cards
– SD Memory Card
– SDHC Memory Card
Use one of the above types of memory card.

To format (initialize) a new memory card
You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the camera and then press [SET].
2. Use [8] and [2] to select the second Control Panel option from the
bottom (MENU) and then press [SET] (page 33).

4. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [6].
5. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].
IMPORTANT!
• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete
its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if
storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format
the card.
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on
a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the
camera. In the case of an SD or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can
result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility,
operation, etc.
• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi
Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

A digital camera image is a collection of small
dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are
in an image, the more detail there will be.
However, you generally can do with fewer
pixels when printing an image (L size) through
a print service, attaching an image to e-mail,
when viewing the image on a computer, etc.

• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed,
which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions,
secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with
exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source
can cause abnormal image colors.
• Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash
photograph is prohibited.
Red-eye Reduction
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the
eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash
reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash
mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the
image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye. The camera also has an auto
red-eye correction feature that corrects for red-eye in recorded images.
Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.
• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking
directly at the camera (flash).
• Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from
the camera.

NOTE
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• The camera also records audio. Note the following points when
shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers,
etc.
– Good recording results are not possible when the camera is
too far away from what you are trying to record.
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button
noise to be picked up in the audio.

• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.
• When using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can
take too much time to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or
audio. This condition is indicated by » and Y flashing on the monitor screen. To
avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed
of at least 10MB per second is recommended (page 155).
• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical
zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing
[0] (Movie) to start recording.
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you
shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is
recommended under these conditions.
• Focus is fixed while movie recording is in progress.

Using BEST SHOT
What is BEST SHOT?
BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of
different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the
camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the
camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined
images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

. BEST SHOT Precautions
• Some BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie.
• Prerecord Movie scene and For YouTube scene cannot be used while shooting a
snapshot.
• The Voice Recording scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or recording
a movie.
• Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks results in a slow shutter speed
setting. Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the
image, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when
either of these scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the
image to be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not
perform any key operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to
avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.
• Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site
images. Depending on your camera model, the sample scene is named either “For
eBay” or “Auction”. Images you record using the auction site sample scene are
stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer (page 132).
• Images recorded using the following BEST SHOT scenes (Art Shot) are saved as
x
3M (2048 1536 pixels) size.
Oil Painting, Crayon, Water Color
• High Sensitivity
– The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera’s flash fires.
– High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions.
– When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring
due to camera movement.
– Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise
filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image. This operation causes the
camera to take longer than normal to save the image and be ready for the next
shot.
• BEST SHOT scene images were not shot using this camera.
• Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected
due to shooting conditions and other factors.
• You can modify the camera settings that are made after you select a BEST SHOT
scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when
you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.

9. First, shoot an image that includes the subject
you want to extract.
• Shoot an image in which the subject is as large as
possible. If you selected “2” for the “Number of Shots”
setting, the images should include some easily
identifiable reference point that you can use for later
alignment in step 10 below.
• If you selected “Moving Subject” the camera will record multiple subject
images. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
• If you selected “1” for the “Number of Shots” setting, this procedure is complete
with this step. The camera will extract the subject and display it on the monitor
screen. If you selected “Moving Subject” in step 6, the subject image will be
moving on the display.
• Even if you select “1” for the “Number of Shots” setting, certain conditions can
cause the setting to switch automatically to “2”.
• Flash is turned off automatically at this time.
10. Next, compose the image again, this time without
the subject you want to extract. Take care so the
image composition here is as close as possible
to the image composition in step 9. This second
image will let the camera know what part of the
image in step 6 needs to be cropped.
• A semi-transparent view of the image you shot in step 6 (which includes the
subject) will be visible on the monitor screen to help you compose the
background image properly.
11. Press the shutter button to shoot the background only.
The camera compares the images you shot in steps 9 and 11 and extracts the
subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you
selected “Moving Subject”, the subject image will be moving on the display.
• You can interrupt an ongoing subject extraction process (steps 9 through 11) at
any time by pressing [ ] (Delete).

IMPORTANT!
• When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface
of a color that is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to
crop the subject image properly if it is the same or similar color as the background.
• The camera may not be able to cleanly crop a subject that is not clearly defined on
the monitor screen due to backlighting, shadows, light smear, insufficient lighting,
etc. When shooting the subject, make sure that it is clearly defined and outlined on
the monitor screen.
• The background you shoot in step 9 of the above procedure is not saved. Only the
cropped subject image is saved.
Extracting Text from an Image
You can write text on a blank sheet of paper, shoot an image of it, and then extract
the text for insertion into an image.
1. On the BEST SHOT scene menu, select the “Dynamic Photo” scene
2. Press [SET], use [8] and [2] to select the third Control Panel option
3. Use [8] and [2] to select “Number of Shots”, and then press [SET].
4. Use [8] and [2] to select “Text” and then press [SET].
5. Press the shutter button to shoot what is written on the paper.
IMPORTANT!
• When shooting text, take care to make sure that only the paper it is written on
completely fills the screen. Do not allow the edges of the paper to be included in
the text image.

. Date Stamping
You can use one of the following three methods to include the recording date in the
printout of an image.
Configuring camera settings
Configure DPOF settings (page 111).
You can turn date stamping on and off each time you print. You can configure
settings so some images include the date stamp and some don’t.
Configure the Camera’s Time Stamp setting (page 138).
• The camera’s Time Stamp setting imprints the date into a snapshot when you
shoot it, so the date is always included when you print. It cannot be deleted.
• Do not turn on DPOF date stamping for an image that includes a date
stamped with the camera’s Time Stamp function. Doing so can cause the two
stamps to be overprinted.
Configuring computer settings
You can use commercially available image management software to date
stamp images.

. Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data Handling Precautions
• Whenever copying memory contents to your computer, you should copy the DCIM
folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM copies of
the DCIM folders it to change its name to a date or something similar after you copy
it to your computer. If you later decided to return the folder to the camera, however,
be sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize
only a root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to
recognize the folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they
originally had when you copied them from the camera to your computer.
• You also can use a PC card adapter or a memory card reader/writer to access
camera files directly from the camera’s memory card.
• A Subject Image File (CIMG

Battery Precautions
. Precautions during Use
• Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation
under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the
camera.
• Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 5°C to
35°C (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than
normal or even fail.
• Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably
means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a
new one.
. Storage Precautions
• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of
battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use
up its charge before storing it.
• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left
in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge
when you need to use the camera.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in
the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.

of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the power cord
plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera and
charger along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply
requirements in your destination(s).
• Do not connect the charger to a power supply through a voltage converter or
similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.
. Extra Batteries
• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-80) is recommended while on a trip
in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.
Using a Memory Card
memory card.
To replace the memory card
Press the memory card and then release it. This will
cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull
the card out the rest of the way and then insert another
one.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the back
lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image
save operation to fail and even damage the memory
card.

. Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a
write protect switch. Use the switch when you need to
guard against accidentally deleting data. Note,
however, if you write protect an SD memory card you
must then turn write protection off whenever you want
to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during
Write enabled
Write disabled
image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 144).
However, it is recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards
whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it
loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory
card is recommended.
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you
may experience problems saving high-quality (HD and STD) movies. When using the
camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can take too much time
to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio. This condition is

and
flashing on the monitor screen. Use of a memory card with a
maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.
. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the
Camera
The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the
memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the
data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended
whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to
another party.
• When discarding a memory card, either physically destroy the memory card or use
commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on the
memory card.
• When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use commercially
available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

Dynamic Photo Technology
Dynamic Photo lets you extract a moving subject from a series of Continuous Shutter
(CS) images and insert it into another image (snapshot or movie). This makes it
possible to combine images in ways that create exciting, totally unbelievable scenes.
Moving CS Images
Extract the subject.
Insert it into another image.
You can create a Dynamic Photo image by inserting a moving subject into a
background image. Before performing the following steps, you should record the
background image into which you want to insert the moving subject.

Using the Dynamic Photo Extracted Sample Subjects
Your digital camera comes with a number of extracted sample subjects in its built-in
memory. You can use these sample subjects to practice creating Dynamic Photo
images by inserting them into your original snapshots or movies.
Step 1: Shoot the image into which you want to insert an
extracted sample subject.
1. Remove the memory card from the camera
(if one is loaded).
You will not be able to access the extracted sample
subjects in built-in camera memory while a memory
card is loaded in the camera.
2. In the REC mode, compose the image and press
the shutter button to shoot a standard
snapshot.
You will insert the extracted sample subject into the
snapshot you shoot here.
Step 2: Perform the following procedure to create a Dynamic
Photo image.
1. Press [p] (PLAY) to enter the PLAY mode and
then press [SET].
2. Use [8] and [2] to select the second PLAY
Panel item from the bottom (Dynamic Photo)
and then press [SET].
3. Use [4] and [6] to select the snapshot you shot in Step 1 above, and
then press [SET].
4. Use [4] and [6] to select the extracted sample subject in built-in
camera memory that you want to insert into the image and then press
[SET].
5. Use the zoom controller to adjust the size of the
subject and use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to adjust
its position. When everything is the way you
want, press [SET].
This inserts the extracted sample subject into another
image and creates a Dynamic Photo image.

6. After creation of the Dynamic Photo image is complete, the finished
image with the inserted moving subject will appear on the monitor
screen.
After you master the above procedure using extracted sample subjects, you will
be ready to create your own extracted subjects and insert them into snapshots or
movies for totally original Dynamic Photo images.
Important!
• You will not be able to access the extracted sample
subjects in built-in camera memory while a memory card
is loaded in the camera. If you want to use the extracted
sample subjects while a memory card is loaded in the
camera, use the “Built-in * Card” copy operation to
copy the extracted sample subjects from built-in camera
memory to the memory card.
• Performing a delete or format operation will not delete the extracted sample
subjects in built-in camera memory.
• Note that the extracted sample subjects include some subjects that cannot be
created using the Dynamic Photo feature of this camera.

Creating a Dynamic Photo Image
Step 1: Shoot the subject.
Dynamic Photo images are created by extracting the subject out of one image, and
inserting it into another image (snapshot or movie). The term “subject” as used here
refers to what you extract or crop out of the first image. Perform the following steps to
shoot and extract the subject.
To extract the subject, you shoot once with the subject against a background.
Then you shoot the same background again, this time without the subject.
(Shoot twice.)
With the subject
The same angle against the same
background, without the subject.
Do not allow the camera to move.
The camera will extract
the subject automatically.

4. First, shoot the subject.
Best results can be obtained with the camera secured
on a tripod. With the camera pointed at the moving
subject, press the shutter button to record. If you
selected “Moving Subject”, the camera will record a
series of Continuous Shutter (CS) images over a few
seconds.
First, let’s just have the

• To help ensure good cropping results...
* See “Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping”.
• You can select the subject type and the “Number of
Shots” setting here by pressing the [SET] button.
* See “Specifying the Subject Type and CS Speed”
* See “Changing the “Number of Shots” Setting”
movement as we shoot.
* See “Extracting Text from an Image” for more information.
• Flash is turned off (?) automatically when shooting with Dynamic Photo.
5. Next, shoot the same background again, but this
time without the subject.
After shooting the first image with the subject, have the
subject exit the frame. Keep the camera still so you can
maintain the same background composition as the first
image (with the subject). When everything is ready,
press the shutter button.
Only one shot (not CS images) of the background is
recorded at this time.
As shown in the image to the right, there is no need to
carefully compose the two images when shooting
against a flat wall that has no visible marks at all.

Complete!
The camera compares the images
you shot in steps 4 and 5 and
extracts the subject. The extracted
subject image will appear on the
monitor screen. If you selected
“Moving Subject”, the 20 subject images that were recorded will scroll on the screen,
creating the illusion of movement.
• The background you shoot is not saved. Only the 20 cropped subject images are
saved.
• You can interrupt an ongoing image extraction process at any time by pressing [
(Delete).

Step 2: Create the Dynamic Photo image.
Use the following procedure to insert the subject you extracted in Step 1 above into a
snapshot or movie (new background image) and create the final Dynamic Photo
image.
1. Press [p] (PLAY) to enter the PLAY mode and
then press [SET].
2. Use [8] and [2] to select the second PLAY
Panel item from the bottom (Dynamic Photo)
and then press [SET].
3. Use [4] and [6] to select the background image
you want and then press [SET].
Select the image you want to use as the background.
You should record the background image you want to
use before starting this procedure.
* Only images that are able to be used as background images
will appear at this time.
• Only an image that satisfies the following conditions can be used as a
background image.
– A snapshot or movie recorded with this camera or a snapshot transferred to
this camera’s memory using Photo Transport
– A snapshot with an aspect ratio of 4:3

4. Use [4] and [6] to select the subject you want
to insert and then press [SET].
* Only subjects that can be inserted into other images will
appear at this time.
5. If you are inserting a subject into a movie an
image will appear on the monitor screen
showing the approximate location of the subject
in the movie. Use [4] and [6] to shift the
location to the position you want. After you are
finished, press [SET].
• If you insert a subject into a movie, the resulting
movie will be a maximum of 20 seconds long.
Everything before and after the insertion is cut off.
Insert location
If the movie you are inserting into (original movie) is shorter than 20 seconds,
the resulting movie will be the same length as the original movie.
• If you are inserting a subject into a snapshot, skip directly to step 6.
6. Use the zoom controller to adjust the size of the
subject and use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to adjust
its position. When everything is the way you
want, press [SET].
This inserts the subject into another image and creates
a Dynamic Photo.
7. After creation of the Dynamic Photo image is
complete, the finished image with the moving
subject will appear on the monitor screen.
Complete!
• Inserting an animated subject into a snapshot will save a Dynamic Photo that
consists of 20 still images of 2M size or smaller.
• Inserting a stationary subject into a snapshot will save a single still image of 6M
size or smaller.
• Inserting a subject into a movie will save the Dynamic Photo as a movie file.

Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping
• When shooting the subject image, shoot against a
white wall or some other surface whose color is
different from that of the subject. The camera will
not be able to crop the subject image properly if
its color is the same as or similar to the
background color.
• Select a blank wall for the subject background,
not one with a complex pattern or shapes.
Find a blank wall whose
color is different from that
of the subject.

Look for a flat wall that has no
markings.
Find some reference points and
use a tripod.
Best cropping results are obtained when When there are reference points in the
the background is a wall that is
image as shown above, you need to
compose the second (background only)
image precisely according to the
reference points. In this case, you will
need to keep the camera as still as
possible when shooting the first image
(subject and background) and the
second image (background only). Use a
completely free of visible markings like
the one shown above. In this case, it is
not necessary to take pains to position
the camera correctly when shooting the
second (background only) image
required by Dynamic Photo. When
shooting against a blank wall, you can
move the camera around as much as you tripod whenever possible, and make sure
like while shooting CS images of a
moving subject.
For this type of background, you can
select “1” for the “Number of Shots”
setting. For details see “Changing the
that image is composed exactly the same
for both the first image and the second
image.

Move the subject away from the wall to avoid
shadows!
The camera may mistake shadows on the wall or floor
caused by strong sunlight, illumination, or other light sources
as part of the subject. Shadows tend to form when the
subject is too close to a wall. Have the subject move as far
away as possible from the wall.
Do not use a moving background!
Good cropping is not possible if anything besides the
subject is moving in the images. For example, avoid
breaking waves, trees blowing in the wind, etc.
Specifying the Subject Type and CS Speed
You can select from among the four subject types listed below. You also can specify
a stationary subject (one frame only) in addition to a moving subject.
Perform the following procedure when you want to change the subject type.
1. Before shooting the subject in step 4 under “Step 1: Shoot the
