Number of shots you can take

Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 290

* When [LCD Auto Dim] (P.184) is set to [On]
- Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display 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).
- You can take approximately 270 shots when [LCD Auto Dim] is set to [Off].
- 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 battery 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.

About the SD Memory Card (available in stores)

You can store 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 approximately 88 MB. To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a high-capacity SD memory card.

About Formatting

Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it with this camera. If an error message such as [Card Error] is displayed when an SD memory card is loaded in the camera or the card has been used with a computer or other digital camera, you must format the card with this camera prior to use. (P.168)

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.

White Saturation Highlights Display

The white saturation areas of the image flash in black. White saturation is the loss of tone 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 image tone cannot be edited later. It is recommended that you shoot another image by changing the composition or by setting the exposure level lower (-). (P.124)

Note

The white saturation highlights display is for reference only.

About the Electronic Level

When [Level Setting] is turned on in the setup menu or by pressing and holding the DISP. button (P.187), the camera uses a level indicator and level sound to let you know whether the image is level during shooting. The level indicator is displayed during normal symbol display and histogram.

This is useful for keeping the image level when taking pictures of scenery or buildings. This is also very useful for taking pictures with the horizon visible.

For information on how to set [Level Setting], see P.187.

● With [Level Setting] set to [Display]:

The level indicator appears on the picture display. The level sound will not emit.

● With [Level Setting] set to [Display+Sound]:

The level indicator appears on the picture display. When the camera is level, the level sound is continually emitted at a set interval.

● With [Level Setting] set to [Sound]:

When the camera is level, a level sound is continually emitted at a set interval and the level indicator is not displayed.

Level indicator display

When level:

The level indicator becomes green, indicating that the scale is in the middle.

When tilted to the right or left:

The mark on the level indicator becomes orange, indicating the opposite side of the direction in which the camera is tilted.

When the camera is tilted too far to the right or left:

Half of the level indicator on the opposite side of the direction in which the camera is tilted becomes red. The mark on the level indicator is not displayed.

When the camera is tilted too far forward or backward, or it cannot be determined whether the camera is level:

The top and bottom of the level indicator become red. The mark on the level indicator is not displayed.

When the camera is held vertically:

When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function can be used to determine whether the image is vertically level.

Caution

• During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off (P.56), the level sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed. When [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound], only the level sound is emitted.
• The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when recording movies, and during interval shooting.
• The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.
• No level sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound] or [Sound] and [Volume Settings] is set to [☐☐☐] (Mute) (P.187).
• Use this function as a reference to see if images are level when shooting images. The accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be guaranteed.

About the Histogram Display

When Histogram is on, a histogram appears in the lower right corner on the picture display. 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)).

Camera interface screenshot showing exposure settings and a preview of a small screen (no readable text or symbols)

By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an image without being affected by the brightness around the picture display. This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright or dark.

If the histogram has only peaks on the right side, this picture is overexposed with too many pixels only for highlight sections.

Monochrome landscape illustration featuring mountains, water, clouds, and a small boat (no text or symbols)

If the histogram has only peaks on the left side without anything else, this picture is underexposed with too many pixels only for shadow sections. Refer to this histogram when correcting the exposure.

Illustration of two people in a retail setting with shelves of bottles and a wine bottle (no text or symbols)

Note

• The histogram displayed on the picture display is for reference only.
• After taking a picture, you can correct its brightness and contrast by making adjustments to the histogram. (P.147)
• 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.124.

Dynamic Range Double Shot Mode (DR)

The “dynamic range” of a digital camera refers to the range of brightness that can be processed by the camera.

When you shoot a scene with high contrast, such as both a subject in sunlight and a subject in a shaded area, the bright areas appear overly bright and the image does not look natural. This is because the range of brightness that can be processed by the camera is narrower than that of the human eye.

When you set the mode dial to DR and shoot, the scene is reproduced with a smooth transition from the bright areas to the dark areas, allowing you to capture a more natural-looking image.

Note

With Dynamic Range Double Shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes, so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The ⚫ symbol is always displayed.

Focusing Modes

If you shoot the subject in the default focusing mode, the camera focuses automatically with Auto Focus (AF).

Select from the following 7 focusing modes.

Focusing Modes

Symbol	Mode	Description
None	Multi AF	Measures the distances from 9 AF areas and focuses to the nearest AF area. This prevents the center of the picture display from becoming out of focus and enables you to shoot with a minimum number of out-of-focus pictures.
None	Spot AF	Selects one AF area at the center of the picture display to allow the camera to focus on this area automatically.
(seac)	Continuous AF	Measures the distance from the center AF area and focuses on the subject in the center area. If the subject moves while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera will track the subject while focusing continuously.
(###)	Multi-trgt AF	Takes 7 consecutive pictures while shifting the focus to multiple positions. (P.104)
(seat)	MF (Manual Focus)	Enables you to adjust the focus manually. (P.105)
(sean)	Snap	Fixes the shooting distance to a short distance (approx. 2.5 m (8.2 ft)).
(seat)	∞ (Infinity)	Fixes the shooting distance to infinity. Infinity is useful for shooting distant scenes.

Exposure Compensation

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.

ISO Sensitivity

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, and 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 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. The maximum ISO setting for [Auto-Hi] is specified in the setup menu. (P.178)

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./OK button. This section explains easy ways to change the setting with the ADJ./OK button.

To use the shooting menu, see "Using the Menu" (P.100).

• If the picture display or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become washed out and images may become hard to view.
• The picture display 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 picture display.
• 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. If condensation occurs, remove the battery and memory card, and wait until the moisture has dried before using the camera.
• To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera's microphone or speaker holes.
• Do not get the camera wet. Do not operate the camera with wet hands. This can result in malfunction or an electrical shock.
