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. The
battery lasts a long time, so it is convenient
when traveling.
Number of shots you can take --------------------------------------------------------------Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 380
• 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. (GP.51)
• 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.

SD Memory Card (available in stores)

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.

Records to the SD memory card

Caution----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------• If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera will 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.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

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 26 MB.
To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a
high-capacity SD memory card.

Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

• For information on switching between the SD memory card and internal memory
during playback, see P.44.
• Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on
the capacity of the SD memory card. (GP.174)
• Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it with this camera.
(GP.116)
• 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.

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] (GP.118).
If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

• 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.82

Changing the Exposure
(EXPOSURE COMP.)

1
Various Shooting Functions

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.
To change the setting, use the Shooting Setting menu or the ADJ. button. This section
explains easy ways to change the exposure setting with the ADJ. button.
To use the Shooting Setting menu, see “Using the Menu” (GP.61).
