With highlight display

Histogram A histogram is a graph that displays brightness along the horizontal axis (black to white) and the number of pixels at each brightness level on the vertical axis. It allows the camera user to easily check the way a picture is being exposed. When the values are concentrated to the left A, the picture is under exposed. Pictures that are mostly black, such as night scenery, forms this type of histogram. When the values in the histogram are distributed evenly B, the exposure is adequate and the brightness is wellbalanced. When the values are concentrated to the right C, the picture is over exposed. Pictures that are mostly white, forms this type of histogram. Example of histogram
When the recorded picture and the histogram do not match each other under the following conditions, the histogram is displayed in orange. When the flash is activated When the flash is closed 1 When the brightness of the screen is not correct in dark places 2 When the exposure is not adequately adjusted The histogram does not appear when in motion picture mode [i], during multi playback and playback zoom. The histogram in the recording mode is an approximation. The histogram in recording and playback may not match each other. The histogram in this camera does not match the one displayed in image editing software used with a PC, etc. Check white saturated areas with the highlight display in the auto review function or the review function. (P28)

Correct posture for taking good pictures To take pictures without blurring: Hold the camera gently with both hands, keep arms stationary at your side and stand with your feet slightly apart. Be careful not to move the camera when you press the shutter button. Do not cover the microphone or the AF assist lamp with your fingers or other objects. Do not touch the lens part. Do not cover the photo flash with your finger or other objects.
1 : When holding the camera sideways 2 : When holding the camera vertically A : Photo flash B : AF assist lamp
For the following modes and methods, keep the camera steady. Use a tripod for best results. By combining the use of a tripod with the self-timer (P44), you can avoid blurring caused when you press the shutter button. Slow sync./Red-eye reduction [u] (P41) [NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P64), [NIGHT SCENERY] (P64), [CANDLE LIGHT] (P66), [FIREWORKS] (P67), [PARTY] (P67), [STARRY SKY] (P68) in scene mode (P61) When you have reduced shutter speed (P55, 56)
Focusing The focus range is 50 cm to Z (Wide), 1.2 m to Z (Tele). If you press the shutter button fully without prefocusing, pictures may be blurry or unfocused. When the focus indication is blinking, the subject is not focused. Press the shutter button halfway and focus on the subject again. If the camera will not focus after a few tries, turn it off and on and try again. In the following cases, the camera cannot focus on subjects properly. When including both near and distant subjects in a scene. When there is dirt or dust on the glass between the lens and the subject. When there are illuminated or glittering objects around the subject. When taking a picture in a dark place. When the subject is moving fast. When the scene has low contrast. When jitter occurs. When recording a very bright subject. We recommend taking pictures using manual focus (P83), prefocus (P84) or AF/AE lock (P85). In dark places, the AF assist lamp (P77) may turn on to focus on the subject. Even if the focus indication appears and the subject is focused, it is cancelled when you release the shutter button. Press the shutter button halfway again.
Jitter (camera shake) Be careful of jittering when pressing the shutter button. The jitter alert 1 appears when the shutter speed is slow and the chances of blurring are greater.

F2.8 1/8

When the jitter alert appears, take special care with the shooting methods described on P32, or use a tripod for best results. By combining the use of a tripod with the self-timer (P44), you can avoid blurring caused when you press the shutter button. Format detection function If you take pictures by holding the camera vertically, the information of the rotation on the pictures are automatically added and recorded to the pictures. When [ROTATE DISP.] (P93) is set to [ON], you can rotate and display pictures on the screen or the TV according to the information of the rotation on the pictures. When you take pictures by holding the camera vertically, read Correct posture for taking good pictures on P32 carefully. This function may not work properly on pictures recorded by aiming the camera up or down. In motion picture mode [i] or [FLIP ANIM.], you cannot use the Format detection function.

Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
1 Switch the self-timer setting.
4 : Self-timer set to 10 seconds 5 : Self-timer set to 2 seconds No display (cancelled)
2 Focus on the subject to take the

picture.

When you press the button fully with one stroke, the subject is automatically focused just before the recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator blinks and then it may turn on brightly to work as the AF assist lamp (P77) for focusing on the subject. The self-timer is fixed at 2 seconds when you are using [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode (P69). When you set the self-timer in the burst mode, the number of pictures taken at one time is fixed to 3. When using a tripod or in other cases, setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to stabilize the jitter caused by pressing the shutter button. We recommend using a tripod when setting the self-timer. (When using a tripod, be sure to confirm that the tripod is stable when this unit is attached.)

CANCEL MENU

The self-timer indicator blinks and the shutter is activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds). If you press the [MENU] button when the self-timer is set, the selftimer setting is cancelled.
Compensating the Exposure
Use this function when you cannot achieve appropriate exposure due to the difference of brightness between the subject and the background. Over exposed
1 Press e several times until
[CEXPOSURE] appears and then compensate the exposure.

EXPOSURE

Compensate the exposure toward negative.
You can compensate from 2 EV to +2 EV in steps of 1/3 EV.

Properly Exposed

Under exposed
EV is an abbreviation of Exposure Value, and it is the amount of light given to the CCD by the aperture value and the shutter speed. The compensation range of the exposure will be limited depending on the brightness of the subject. The exposure compensation value appears on the lower left of the screen. The exposure value is memorized even if the camera is turned off. You cannot compensate the exposure with [STARRY SKY] in scene mode (P68).
Compensate the exposure toward positive.
Taking Pictures using Auto Bracket
In this mode, 3 pictures are automatically recorded by each press of the shutter button according to the compensation range of the exposure. You can select the desired exposure among the 3 types of pictures. You cannot use auto bracket when there are only one or two pictures remaining. When taking pictures using auto bracket after the exposure compensation, the pictures are based on the compensated exposure. When the exposure is compensated, the compensated exposure value appears on the screen. When the flash is activated, you can take only 1 picture. When setting auto bracket, you cannot use the audio recording function. When setting auto bracket and the burst mode simultaneously, auto bracket will be performed. The exposure may not be compensated with auto bracket depending on the brightness of the subject. Auto review works if you activate auto bracket, irrespective of the auto review setting. (But the picture is not enlarged.) You cannot change the auto review setting in the setup menu. Setting ISO sensitivity to [ISO400] increases the time lapse between pictures to allow for the noise reduction process. You cannot use auto bracket if you have set quality to [TIFF] or [RAW]. You cannot use auto bracket with [STARRY SKY] in scene mode. When using Shutter-priority AE [N] or Manual exposure [O] mode and you have set the shutter speed to more than 1.3 second, auto bracket does not work.

When you delete pictures, use a battery with sufficient battery power (P14) or use with the AC adaptor (ACA-DC4-U/J/E; optional). The more pictures there are to delete, the more time it takes.

Using the Mode Dial

Aperture-priority AE
When you want the background to be in sharp focus, set the aperture value to a higher number. The higher the aperture value is the smaller the aperture opening will be. For a soft focus background, set the aperture value to a lower number which corresponds to a larger aperture opening.
1 Set the aperture value and take

the picture.

ISO100 00
Refer to P58 for the available range of the aperture value and the shutter speed. The brightness of the screen may differ from that of the actual pictures. Check it using review function or setting to the playback mode. The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to [AUTO]. (P73) (When the recording mode is switched to Aperture-priority AE, the ISO sensitivity is automatically set to [ISO100].) When the exposure is not adequate, the aperture value and the shutter speed on the screen turn red.

The recordable time is an approximation. (Actual times depend on recording conditions and the type of SD card.) Recording time depends on the subject. The remaining recordable time shown on the LCD may not reduce regularly. This camera cannot take motion pictures if you are using a MultiMediaCard.
