Key Features

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

Camera shake correction function reduces blurring (P.106)

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.

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. The camera is equipped with a hot shoe to allow you to use an external flash.

Macro shooting at 1 cm (P.43) and close-up flash shooting at 15 cm (Telephoto) or 20 cm (Wide-angle) (P.44)

The unsurpassed macro shooting function allows you to capture details from a very close distance at only 1 cm. The camera also has a built-in flash for close-up shots at 15 cm (Telephoto) or 20 cm (Wide-angle).

This combination gives you clear macro shots even under low light conditions.

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). This provides less image quality deterioration than JPEG files and easier image processing on a computer. A JPEG file based on the DNG file is recorded at the same time.

Up-down dial and ADJ. lever for faster and easier operations (P.20)

You can use the up-down dial and ADJ. lever to quickly and easily make the shooting settings and various menu operations.

You can also press the ADJ. lever to easily select ADJ. mode (P.64) and make various shooting settings.

30 fps or 15 fps high-quality movies with sound (P.109)

Record high-quality movies with 640 × 480 pixels at 30 frames per second and with full sound.

Easily customize your favorite shooting settings with my settings mode (P.76)

You can customize two groups of settings, and then turn the mode dial to MY1 or MY2 to shoot with those registered settings.

Skew correction mode helps straighten skewed images (P.46)

In skew correction mode, a rectangular object shot at an angle can be straightened to look as if it were shot squarely. With the simple touch of a button, you can straighten skewed images of objects such as a message board, a display panel, or a name card.

USB cable enables instant transfer of camera data to a computer

Install the provided software on your computer and then simply connect the camera to your computer with the provided USB cable to automatically transfer images to your computer. The camera is compatible with USB 2.0 for high-speed data transfers. (Your computer must also be compatible with USB 2.0 to take advantage of this feature.)

Irodio Photo & Video Studio software for browsing, viewing, and editing still images and movies (P.166)

This bundled software enables you to view, organize, and edit shot images. You can also use the video editor function to create movies using still images, video clips, audio, and music files.

Direct printing without the use of a computer (P.128)

A direct print-compatible printer can be connected to the camera with the USB cable to directly transfer images to the printer. This allows for easy printing without using a computer.

You can also print reports.

Caution

• If you are using AAA nickel-hydrogen batteries or AAA Oxyride batteries, depending on the type of batteries and usage conditions, may not appear, or or may instantaneously appear. Check your batteries beforehand.
• If you are using the AC adapter, may appear. This does not indicate a malfunction and you can continue to use the camera.

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.

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.

• 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
Records to the internal memory

When an SD memory card is loaded

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)).

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.100.

Shooting with a Set Aperture Value (A: Aperture Priority Mode)

Setting the mode dial to A (aperture priority mode) allows you to manually set the aperture value. Once the aperture value is set, the camera automatically sets the optimal shutter speed.

The selectable aperture depends on the zoom position.

Aperture values at wide-angle: from 2.5 to 9.1

Aperture values at telephoto: from 4.4 to 15.8

Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur the background and capture a sharp portrait of the foreground subject. Selecting a higher aperture value (closing the aperture) allows you to capture an image with everything from the foreground to the background in focus.

Use the up-down dial to set the aperture priority mode.

1 Turn the mode dial to A.

• The mode symbol appears on the LCD monitor, and the current aperture value is displayed in orange on the right edge of the screen.

1/500	1/400	1/320	1/250	1/200	1/160
1/125	1/100	1/80	1/60	1/50	1/40
1/30	1/25	1/20	1/15	1/13	1/10
1/8	1/6	1/5	1/4	1/3	1/2.5
1/2	1/1.6	1/1.3	1	2	4
8	15	30	60	120	180

Note

Depending on the aperture value, some shutter speeds may not be available.

Faster shutter speeds allow to capture a sharp image of a fast-moving subject. Slower shutter speeds allow you to capture an image with a flowing effect and emphasize the movement of the subject.

Use the up-down dial to set the aperture value.

Use the ADJ. lever to set the shutter speed.

1 Turn the mode dial to M.

• The mode symbol appears on the LCD monitor, and the current aperture value, shutter speed, and exposure value indicator are displayed on the right edge of the screen.

320 × 240	320

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

• 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)

To use the shooting setting menu, see "Using the Menu". (P.79)

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) To use the shooting setting menu, see "Using the Menu". (P.79)

Using the AC Adapter (sold separately)

When shooting or viewing still images for a long time, or when connecting to your computer, use of the AC adapter (sold separately) is recommended.

If you have already used this camera, make sure it is turned off before loading the AC adapter coupler.

1 Slide the release lever toward OPEN to open the battery/card cover.

2 Insert the AC adapter coupler.

• When the AC adapter coupler is loaded in place, it is locked with the hook shown in the figure.
  3 Open the power (DC input) cable cover and place the cable outside.
  4 Close the battery/card cover and slide the release lever in the opposite direction of OPEN to lock it in place.
  5 Plug the power cord into an outlet.

Caution

• When closing the battery/card cover, slide the release lever and be sure to lock it in place.
• Be sure to attach the AC cable and plug the power cord into the outlet firmly.
• When you are not using the camera, unplug the AC adapter from the camera and the power outlet.
• If you disconnect the AC adapter from the camera or the plug from the outlet while the camera is in use, data may be lost.
• When using the AC adapter, the battery level indication may not reach the full area.

Disconnecting the AC Adapter

Make sure the camera is turned off before disconnecting the AC adapter.

1 Unplug the power plug from the outlet.
2 Slide the release lever toward OPEN to open the battery/card cover.
3 Remove the AC adapter coupler from the camera.
4 Close the battery/card cover and slide the release lever in the opposite direction of OPEN to lock it in place.

Using the External Flash

The camera has a hot shoe, allowing you to attach an external flash (available in stores).

When using an external flash, follow the steps below.

X contact

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.
