Key Features

Illustration of a digital camera with lens and frame (no text or symbols)

Wide-angle zoom lens can capture wide-angle pictures

This camera has a compact body only 25 mm thick, featuring a 24-mm* (Wide-angle) to 72-mm* (Telephoto) 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 35mm camera

Illustration of a camera with various lens components (no text or symbols)

Variety of accessories for greater creative expression (P.16)

Use the camera with the optional hood & adapter and 19-mm wide conversion lens to capture even wider angles. Enhance your photographic experience with a variety of optional accessories, including an LCD viewfinder and cable switch.

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.

Power your camera in one of three ways (P.25)

You can power the camera in one of three ways for convenient shooting anytime, anywhere. Use the supplied large-capacity rechargeable battery for long periods of shooting and playback. Use commercially available alkaline batteries when traveling with your camera. Use the convenient AC adapter for transferring data to a computer.

10.01 megapixel CCD and RAW mode for high-quality shooting (P.80)

The camera has a CCD with 10.01 million effective pixels to ensure high-resolution images. In addition, you can use RAW mode to save the raw picture data (as a .DNG file).

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 battery lasts a long time, so it is convenient when traveling.

Simple 3D illustration of a rectangular electronic component with no text or symbols

Note

You can also use the following types of batteries.

• AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores)

You can obtain them anywhere, so they are convenient for travel.

However, in a low-temperature environment, the number of shots you can take 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-Hydrogen Batteries (available in stores)

These batteries are economical because you can recharge and reuse them over and over again. Please use a battery charger available in stores.

Number of shots you can take

- Approximate number of shots you can take on a single battery charge

Battery Type	Number of Shots (Normal Mode)
Rechargeable Battery (DB-60) Approx. 340	*1
AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores) Approx. 30	*2

*1 Approximately 290 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.

*2 Approximately 25 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.

• 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).
• The number of shots when using AAA alkaline batteries is based on the use of AAA alkaline batteries manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd.
• 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.

Caution

• The nickel-hydrogen batteries available in stores are not factory-charged. Charge them before use.
• The nickel-hydrogen 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 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-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 26 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.

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.

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.52.
• Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on the capacity of the SD memory card. (P.197)
• Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it with this camera. (P.137)
• When using an SD memory card previously used with another camera, be sure to back up any necessary data on the card before formatting it. (P.137)
• SDHC memory card (4 GB) can also be used.

    C["White Saturation Highlights Display\nNo Display"] --> D["Black Mountain\nNo Display"]

Press the DISP. button to change the display.

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 while avoiding direct sunlight and setting the exposure level lower (-). (P.100)

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]. (P.139)

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)).

Black-and-white landscape illustration with mountains, river, and a boat on water, no visible text or symbols

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.

Monochrome landscape illustration with mountains, water, and trees (no text or symbols)

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.

Illustration of two people in a bar with wine bottles in the background (no text or symbols)

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.100.

- You can also choose the number of frames for movies. (P.110)

Note

• The number of images that can be stored in the internal memory or SD memory card depends on the [PIC QUALITY/SIZE] setting. (☑ P.197)
• 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 mode.

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. To make a JPEG file small, the image data is compressed and the image quality is lowered.

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 edit 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:

• You cannot use CONT. MODE, AUTO BRACKET, DIGITAL ZOOM, or IMAGE WITH SOUND in RAW mode.
• 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.
• [IMG SET] 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. (P.152)

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.

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 setting menu or the ADJ. lever. This section explains easy ways to change the setting with the ADJ. lever. You can also change the function assigned to the ADJ. lever. (P.148)

Note

To cancel [MANUAL SETTINGS], select a setting other than [M] in Step 3.

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 80, 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, 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 at a higher sensitivity 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. In [AUTO-HI], the sensitivity is automatically increased to the ISO sensitivity set in the SETUP menu. (P.143)

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 setting menu or the ADJ. lever. This section explains easy ways to change the setting with the ADJ. lever. You can also change the function assigned to the ADJ. lever. (P.148)

X contact

Close-up of a camera module with no visible text or symbols

1 Close the flash cover. (P.17)
2 With the camera and external flash powered off, attach the external flash to the hot shoe.
3 Turn on the camera, turn the mode dial to A or M, and set the aperture value. (P.71, P.72)
4 Set the ISO sensitivity to a value other than [AUTO].
5 Turn on the external flash, turn its mode to "Auto", and set the F-value and ISO sensitivity to the camera-set values.

- Be sure to turn off the external flash before detaching the external flash from the camera.

Caution

Camera shake may occur when using slower shutter speeds.

Caution

• You cannot use the internal flash when an external flash is attached as this can cause injury or damage.
• Irrespective of flash setting, a flash ON signal is output to the X contact of the hot shoe. To stop an external flash, use a switch on the flash.
• Exposure may not be appropriate even when the F-value and ISO sensitivity of the external flash are the same as those of the camera. If so, change the f-number and ISO sensitivity of the flash.
• As the flash ON signal, the camera outputs a positive pulse to the X contact.
• A flash on the market rarely have an X contact of the opposite polarity. This kind of flash may not only not work but also cause a problem to the camera. For the terminal specifications, contact the manufacturer of the external flash.
• Use an external flash of a lighting angle covering the angle of view of the shooting lens.
• Use an external flash basically at a distance where the internal flash is not adequate (long distance). Shooting at a short distance may end in over-exposure.
• Do not use an external flash having a special signal pin. Using such a flash may cause inappropriate exposure or damage of the camera circuit.
• You cannot use an LCD viewfinder when an external flash is attached.
