When formatting has finished, the menu screen will reappear.

Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file management information on the card and does not ensure its contents are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.

The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen may be less than indicated on the memory card.

Pressing the Shutter Button

The shutter button has two stops. To take images that are in focus, be sure to first press the shutter button lightly (halfway) to focus, then take the shot.

AUTO ON/OFF

Press halfway (lightly to the first stop).

The camera focuses and automatically selects the necessary settings for shooting, such as the brightness.
When the camera focuses, it will beep twice and the indicator will light green.

ON/OFF • [100] ☑ • [4] ☒

Press fully (to the second stop).

The camera plays the hutter sound and takes the shot.
Since the shot is being taken while the shutter sound plays, be careful not to move the camera.

Does the length of the shutter sound change?

• Since the time required to shoot differs according to the scene you want to take, the length of the shutter sound may change.
• If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded image may be blurry.

If you just press the shutter button fully without pausing halfway, the image may not be in focus.

AUTO Taking Pictures

Since the camera can determine the subject and shooting conditions, you can let it automatically select the best settings for the scene and just shoot. The camera can also detect and focus on faces, setting the color and brightness to optimal levels.

ON/OFF

Turn on the camera.

- Press the power button.

The start-up sound will play, and the startup screen will appear.
- Pressing the power button again will turn the camera off.

Select the AUTO mode.

Set the mode switch to AUTO.
When you point the camera toward the subject, the camera will make a slight noise as it determines the scene.

The camera focuses on the subject it judges to be the main subject, and displays the icon for the determined scene in the upper right of the screen.

When faces are detected, a white frame appears on the face of the main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces.
Even if the detected faces move, the camera will follow the faces within a certain range.

AF Frames

ON/OFF

Focus.

• Press the shutter button halfway to focus.
  When the camera focuses, it will beep twice and the indicator will light green (orange when the flash will fire).
  Green AF frames appear where the subject is in focus.
  Several AF frames will appear when the camera focuses on more than one point.

Shoot.

Press the shutter button fully.

The camera will play the shutter sound and shoot. The flash will automatically fire in low light conditions.
The indicator will blink green while the image is recorded to the memory card.
The image will appear on the screen for about two seconds.
- You can take a second picture even while an image is displayed by pressing the shutter button.

What if...

• The camera does not play any sounds?

Pressing the DISP. button while turning on the camera power will turn off all sounds except for warning sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the MENU button, select the 🎩 tab, and then select [Mute]. Use the ◀ buttons to select [Off].

- The image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?

The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. Shoot within the effective flash range of approximately 30 cm – 3.5 m (1.0 – 11 ft.) at maximum wide angle, and approximately 30 cm – 2.0 m (1.0 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto.

- The camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway?

Your subject is too close. When the camera is at maximum wide angle, move about 2 cm (0.79 in.) or more away from your subject and shoot. Move about 50 cm (1.6 ft.) or more away when the camera is at maximum telephoto.

- The lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in dark areas.

- The ↕ icon blinks when you try to take an image?

The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.

Scene Icons

The camera displays an icon for the scene it has determined and then automatically focuses and selects the optimum settings for subject brightness and color.

Background Subject	Bright		Including Blue Skies		Sunsets	Dark
		Backlit Backlit					When Using Tripod
People –
Subjects Other Than People Landscapes
Close Subjects –
Icon Background Color	Gray Light Blue Orange Dark Blue

* Displays when the camera is attached to a tripod.

Under certain conditions, the icon that displays may not match the actual scene. Especially when there is an orange or blue colored background (a wall for example), or the “Blue Skies” icons may appear and it may not be possible to shoot with the appropriate color. If this happens, try shooting in the P mode (p. 68).

You can view your images on the screen.

Display in Dark Conditions during Shooting

The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions, allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual image recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the movement of the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This has no effect on the recorded image.

Overexposure Warning during Playback

In “Detailed Information Display” (p. 45), overexposed areas of the image flash on the screen.

Histogram during Playback

High Low BrightDark

The graph that appears in “Detailed Information Display” (p. 45) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the distribution and amount of brightness of an image. When the graph approaches the right side, the image is bright, but when it approaches the left side, the image is dark, and in this way you can judge the exposure.

Indicator

The indicator on the back of the camera (p. 43) will light or blink under the following conditions.

Colors Status Operation Status

Green	Lights Shooting preparation complete (p. 24)/Display Off (p. 132)
	Blinks Recording/reading/transmitting image data (p. 24)
Orange	Lights Shooting preparation complete (flash on) (p. 24)
	Blinks Camera shake warning (p. 59)

When the indicator blinks green, data is being recorded to/read from the memory card or various information is being transmitted. Do not turn off the power, open the memory card slot/battery cover, shake or jolt the camera. These actions may corrupt the image data or cause the camera or memory card to malfunction.

Commonly used shooting functions can be set with the FUNC. menu. The menu and menu items differ depending on the shooting mode (p. 150). You can also use the FUNC. menu in the playback mode.

About low level formatting

When the [Memory card error] message appears, or when the camera does not work correctly, low level formatting the memory card may solve the problem. Copy the images from the memory card to a computer or other device before low level formatting.

• Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting (p. 22), since all recorded data are erased.
• You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop]. When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the memory card can be used without problem.
