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.

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 26 MB.

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

Preventing Camera Shake ---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you move the camera when pressing the shutter release button, the still image might

not come out clearly due to camera shake.

Camera shake tends to occur in the following cases:

•When shooting in a dark place without using the flash

•When using the zoom function

•When shooting using long time exposure (GP.77)

When the J mark appears on the LCD monitor, this indicates that camera shake

may occur. To prevent camera shake, try any of the following.

•Using the camera shake correction function (GP.87)

•Set the flash to [AUTO] or [FLASH ON] (GP.36)

•Raising the ISO setting (GP.85)

•Using the self-timer (GP.42)

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

These lines are not recorded with images.

Synchro-Monitor Mode -------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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).

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.

Maximizing the LCD Monitor Brightness

Histogram

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

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.82
