Number of shots you can take
Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 310
- 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. (P.55)
- 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 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.

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.86).

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.126).
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.86

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.
