Getting Ready  
Turn the power on and get ready to shoot.  
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
• If the camera is on, make sure it is turned off before inserting or removing the battery.

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.  
Number of shots you can take ---------------------------------------------------------------  
Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 300  
• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, LCD monitor 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).  
• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can  
take. (GP.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 batteries 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.

internal memory or on an SD memory card (available in stores).  
The internal memory capacity is 24 MB.  
To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a  
high-capacity SD memory card.  
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.

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.  
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.

White Saturation Highlights Display -------------------------------------------------------  
The white saturation areas of the image flash in black. White saturation is the loss of  
grayscale that indicates the color shading in an image in which very bright areas of the  
subject are rendered in white. An image with a loss of grayscale cannot be edited later.  
It is recommended that you shoot another image by changing the composition or by  
setting the exposure level lower (-) (GP.90).  
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The white saturation highlights display is for reference only.

Maximizing the LCD Monitor Brightness  
Hold the DISP. button down to maximize the display brightness.  
When the brightness is at the maximum setting, holding the DISP.  
button down returns the brightness to the level set in [LCD  
Brightness] (GP.137).  
Histogram  
When Histogram is on, a histogram  
appears in the lower right corner on the  
LCD monitor. 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 LCD  
monitor. 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 LCD monitor is for reference only.  
• 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.90.

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 to +2.0. Setting the level higher (+)  
makes the picture brighter and lower (-) makes the picture darker.  
1
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. button. This section explains easy  
ways to change the setting with the ADJ. button. You can also change the function assigned

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, and  
ISO 1600.  
1
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.  
In [Auto-Hi], the sensitivity is automatically increased to the ISO  
sensitivity set in the Setup menu. (GP.141)  
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. button. This section explains easy  
ways to change the setting with the ADJ. button. You can also change the function assigned  
to the ADJ. button. (GP.149)  
To use the Shooting menu, see “Using the Menu” (GP.68).

if the flash is used. When the image size is 3264 × 2448, the ISO setting is [Auto] and  
flash is not fired, the ISO setting is between 64 and 200.

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 LCD monitor.  
• 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 batteries may become hot after extended use. Touching the batteries  
immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.  
• If the LCD monitor or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become  
washed out and images may become hard to view.  
• The LCD monitor 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 LCD monitor.  
7
• 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.  
• To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera’s  
microphone or speaker holes.  
Conditions in which condensation may easily occur:--------------------------  
• When the camera is moved to an environment where the temperature differs greatly.  
• In humid places.  
• In a room immediately after being heated, or when the camera is exposed directly to  
cooled air from an air-conditioner or another similar appliance.
