(Night scene)

Suitable for shooting pictures in the evening or at night. The camera sets a slower shutter speed than is used in normal shooting. If you take a picture of a street at night in any other mode, the lack of brightness will result in a dark picture with only dots of light showing. In this mode, the true appearance of the street is captured. The camera automatically sets the optimal shooting conditions. If you use the flash, you can take pictures of both your subject and the night background. "Night scene mode" (P.53)

Taking still pictures

You can take still pictures using either the monitor or the viewfinder. Both methods are easy as all you have to do is to press the shutter button.
Taking still pictures using the monitor
With the monitor, you can shoot while checking the picture area that the camera actually records.
Slide the lens barrier fully open until it clicks. The lens extends and the monitor turns on.
Decide the composition while looking at the image on the monitor.
Shooting mode (P.41) AF target mark (P.11)
Number of storable still pictures (P.74) Memory gauge (P.13) Flash standby/Flash charge This indicates the same status as the orange lamp on the right of the viewfinder. (P.46) Green lamp This indicates the same status as the green lamp on the right of the viewfinder. (P.46)

Press the shutter button gently (halfway) to adjust the focus.
Focus and exposure are locked, when the green lamp lights steadily. (Focus Lock) When the flash is ready to fire, the mark lights.

Shutter button

Press the shutter button all the way (fully).
The camera takes the picture, and a beep sounds. When the green lamp stops blinking, you can take the next picture. The orange lamp on the right of the viewfinder blinks while the picture is stored on the card. TIPS
The monitor turns off automatically. If the camera is not used for over 3 minutes, the monitor turns off automatically. The lens retracts automatically 5 minutes after that. Touch the shutter button or zoom lever to turn the monitor on. The monitor is hard to see. Bright light, such as direct sunlight, may cause vertical lines to appear on the monitor screen. In this case, use the viewfinder. (Note that this does not affect recorded pictures.)
Taking still pictures using the viewfinder
The camera actually records a wider area than the picture you compose while looking through the viewfinder.
Slide the lens barrier fully open until it clicks. The lens extends and the monitor turns on. "Turning off the monitor" (P.49)
Decide the composition while looking at the image in the viewfinder.
Orange lamp AF target mark Green lamp
Take the picture by following the same procedure as for shooting using the monitor.
"Taking still pictures using the monitor" (P.44)
Correct focus cannot be obtained on the subject you want to shoot. "If correct focus cannot be obtained" (P.50) The green lamp blinks. You are too close to the subject. Take the picture at least 20 cm (7.9") away from the subject. If you use the super macro mode, you can take pictures as close as 7 cm/2.8" from the subject. "Super macro mode shooting" (P.65) Depending on the subject, the focus may not be locked. "If correct focus cannot be obtained" (P.50) The orange lamp blinks when the shutter button is pressed halfway. The flash is charging. While the orange lamp is blinking quickly after shooting, the picture you just took is being stored. Wait until the lamp goes off. To check the picture you have just taken immediately. Set REC VIEW to ON. "REC VIEW" (P.111) Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is pressed hard, the camera may move, resulting in a blur. Never open the card cover, remove the batteries or disconnect the AC adapter while the orange lamp is blinking. Doing so could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just taken. When taking pictures against strong backlight, the area of the picture in shadow may appear colored.

Remaining recording time

Press the shutter button fully to start recording.
The orange lamp on the right of the viewfinder lights. While recording a movie, the camera fixes its focus and zoom. During movie recording, lights red.
Press the shutter button again to stop recording.
The orange lamp blinks while the movie is stored on the card. When the remaining recording time has been used up, recording stops automatically. TIPS
To keep your subject in focus all the time while shooting Set to OFF. "Recording sound with movies" (P.83) To use the zoom while shooting Set DIGITAL ZOOM to ON. "Using the digital zoom" (P.58) Set to OFF, and you can use the optical zoom while shooting. "Recording sound with movies" (P.83) During movie recording, the flash is disabled. It takes longer to store movies than still pictures. The maximum recordable time varies depending on the conditions such as the record mode.
Notes for recording movies over a long time Recording will continue until the card is full unless stopped by pressing the shutter button. A long recorded movie cannot be edited. (P.101) If a single movie recording uses up all of the cards memory, create space on the card by deleting the movie or downloading it to a PC.
Telephoto and wide-angle shooting are possible at 3x magnification (the optical zoom limit, equivalent to 35 mm 105 mm on a 35 mm camera). By combining the optical zoom with the digital zoom, zoom magnification can be increased to a maximum of approximately 12x.

Selecting the metering area
In a backlight situation, your subject may appear dark if the picture is taken with the normal metering value (Digital ESP metering). In this case, by changing the metering area to the center of the viewfinder screen (Spot metering), a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light. ESP (Digital ESP) : Meters the center of the viewfinder and the area around it separately to obtain the optimum exposure. (Spot metering) : Meters only the center of the viewfinder to obtain the appropriate exposure for the subject.

P.60 P.60, P.67 P.68

Bright subjects such as snow will turn out darker than their natural colors in the image.
The colors of pictures taken indoors look unnatural. Possible cause Indoor lighting can affect the picture's colors. There is no white in the subject. The white balance setting is wrong. Corrective action Set the white balance according to the lighting. Include something white in the picture, or shoot using the fill-in flash mode.
