Key Features

28-mm wide-angle GR lens for high depiction performance

The compact body is equipped with a 28-mm wide-angle GR lens. This lens enables the camera to reproduce high-resolution, high-contrast images and provide high image quality with low distortion.

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.

10.01 megapixel CCD and RAW mode for high-quality shooting (P.91)

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.

New image processing engine—GR Engine II

The camera comes with GR Engine II, a new image processing engine that allows you to take pictures with high resolution and low picture noise while reproducing natural colors in various shooting scenes. The GR Engine II maximizes the high depiction performance of the GR lens.

Macro shooting at 1.5cm (P.43) and close-up flash shooting at 20~cm (P.44)

The unsurpassed macro shooting function allows you to capture details from a very close distance at only 1.5cm from the front edge of the lens.

The camera also has a built-in flash for close-up shots at 20cm that gives you clear macro shots even under low light conditions.

Variety of accessories for greater creative expression (P.14)

You can use the camera with a 21-mm wide conversion lens or 40-mm tele conversion lens, according to your shooting purpose. (Use with the hood & adapter.) Enhance your photographic experience with a variety of optional accessories, including an external viewfinder and cable switch.

Electronic level function to help keep the image level (P.59)

The camera is equipped with an electronic level function that is useful for keeping the image level when taking pictures of scenery or buildings. The camera uses a level indicator displayed on the picture display and a level sensor sound to let you know whether the image is level.

Up-down dial and ADJ. lever for faster and easier operations (P.21)

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.

Easily customize your favorite shooting settings with my settings mode (P.86)

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

Fn (Function) button enables easy mode switching with a single push of the button (P.164)

When a function is assigned to the Fn (Function) button, you can perform the assigned function, such as switching to JPEG mode or RAW mode, switching to auto focus or manual focus, or switching to color or black-and-white mode, simply by pressing the Fn button. You can also assign various other shooting settings to the Fn button.

Depth of field display function useful for pan-focus shooting (P.95)

The camera comes with a function for displaying the depth of field (the distance range in which objects appear in focus). You can check the target depth of field on the picture display, which is useful for panfocus shooting using manual focus and the aperture setting.

Power your camera in one of three ways (P.26)

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.

Irodio Photo & Video Studio software for browsing, viewing, and editing still images and movies (P.204)

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.149)

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 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.

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 storage capacity of shots 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 storage capacity of shots you can take

Battery Type	Storage capacity of Shots (Normal Mode)
Rechargeable Battery (DB-60)	Approx. 370
AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores)	Approx. 45

• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature:23 degrees Celsius, picture display on, 30 seconds between shots, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after each 10 shots).
• The storage capacity of shots when using AAA alkaline batteries is based on the use of AAA alkaline batteries manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd.
• The storage capacity 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. For long periods of use, it is recommended that you carry spare batteries.

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 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-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 approx. 54 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.

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.120)

Note

The white saturation highlights display is for reference only.

About the Electronic Level

When [Level Setting] is set to on in the setup menu or by pressing and holding the DISP. button (P.173), the camera uses a level indicator and level sensor 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.173.

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

The level indicator appears on the picture display. When the camera is level, the level indicator becomes green, indicating that the scale is in the middle. When the camera is tilted, the marking of the level indicator becomes orange, and indicates the opposite side of the direction in which the camera is tilted.

- With [Level Setting] set to [Disp + Snd]:

The level indicator appears on the picture display. When the camera is level, the level indicator becomes green, indicating that the scale is in the middle, and the level sensor sound is continually emitted at a set interval. When the camera is tilted, the marking of the level indicator becomes orange, and indicates the opposite side of the direction in which the camera is tilted.

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

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

Level indicator display

Note

• If the camera is tilted too much, the marking of the level indicator becomes red and indicates the opposite end of the direction in which the camera is tilted.
• When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function can be used to determine whether the image is vertically level.

Caution

• If the camera is tilted too far forward or backward, or it cannot be determined whether the camera is level, the level indicator becomes red.
• During grid guide, no display, or when the picture display is off (I P.56), the level sensor sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed. When [Level Setting] is set to [Disp + Snd], only the level sensor 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 sensor sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Disp + Snd] or [Sound] and [Vol. Settings] is set to (Mute) (P.172).
• Use this function as reference so see if images are level when shooting images. The accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be guaranteed.

Histogram

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)).

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 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 picture display 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.120.

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 you 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 picture display, and the current aperture value, shutter speed, and exposure value indicator are displayed on the right edge of the screen.

• When the exposure value is in the range of -2EV to +2EV, the brightness of the picture display changes according to the exposure value.

Movies

Image Size	Movie Size
640 × 480	640
320 × 240	320

• You can also choose the number of frames for movies.

(P.130)

Note

• The number of images that can be stored in the internal memory or SD memory card depends on the [Pic Quality/Size] setting. (12) P.223
• 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 in multi-shot, auto bracket, white balance bracket, color bracket, or digital zoom 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.182)

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

Select from the following five focusing modes.

Focusing Modes

Symbol	Method	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 to allow the camera to focus on this area automatically.
MF	MF (Manual Focus)	Enables you to adjust the focus manually.
S	Snap	Fixes the shooting distance to a short distance (about 2.5m (8.2 ft.).
∞	∞ (Infinity)	Fixes the shooting distance to infinity. Infinity is useful for shooting distant scenes.

• If you selected [MF], [Snap], or [] , the symbol appears on the screen.
• If you selected [MF], [Snap], or [] in manual exposure mode or aperture priority mode, the depth of field appears on the screen. The depth of field is displayed in green inside the focus bar. It increases or decreases in relation to the aperture value. If you selected [MF], [Snap], or [] in program shift mode, the depth of field appears only after half-pressing the shutter release button (only when the aperture value is displayed). The depth of field is not displayed in auto shooting mode and scene mode. The displayed depth of field is for reference only.

Depth of Field

The depth of field is the distance range in which objects appear in focus. The higher the aperture value (the more the aperture is closed), the greater the range in which objects are in focus. Conversely, the lower the aperture value (the more the aperture is opened), the smaller the range in which objects are in focus.

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 EV to +2.0 EV. 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 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, macro settings, and 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 the upper limit of the sensitivity can be set higher 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. Set the maximum sensitivity for [Auto-Hi] in the setup menu. (P.163)

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. lever. This section explains easy ways to change the shading setting with the ADJ. lever. (P.64) To use the shooting menu, see "Using the Menu". (P.89)

• 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.

• When using a commercially-available external flash that is not in the list of recommended flashes (P.227), make sure the flash has the following specifications.

• It must not have a signal terminal other than an X contact.
  The polarity of the X contact must be positive (+)
  The voltage of the X contact must not exceed 20V.

• 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 aperture value and ISO sensitivity of the external flash are the same as those of the camera. If so, change the aperture value and ISO sensitivity of the flash.
• Use an external flash with a lighting angle that covers 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 with an external flash may result in over-exposure of the subject.
