• For information on how to turn the camera off, see P.26.

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. (P.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.

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 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.

When no SD memory card is loaded
Records to the internal memory

When an SD memory card is loaded
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.48.
• Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on the capacity of the SD memory card. (P.185)
• Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it with this camera. (P.135)
• You can copy images recorded in the internal memory to the SD memory card. (P.119)
• 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.135)
• SDHC memory card (4 GB) can also be used.

- DuringPlayback Mode

Each time you press the DISP. button, the display changes in the following order: Histogram, White Saturation Highlights Display, No Display, and Normal Symbol 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 by changing the composition or by setting the exposure level lower (-) (P.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] (P.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.

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.

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.
