Notes on using your camera
Types of Memory Stick that can be used
The IC recording medium used by this camera is a Memory Stick. There are two types of Memory Stick.

Memory Stick

Notes on the AC Adaptor
Do not short the DC plug of the AC Adaptor with a metallic object, as this may cause malfunction. Clean the DC plug of the AC Adaptor with a dry cotton swab, etc. Do not use the plug if it is dirty. Use of a dirty plug may not properly charge the battery pack.
Notes on recording/playback
Memory Stick Duo: Inserting a Memory Stick Duo into a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor. Before you record one-time events, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly. Be careful not to get the camera wet. Water entering the inside of the camera may cause malfunctions which in some cases may not be repairable. Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. This may cause irrecoverable damage to your eyes. Or it may cause the malfunction of your camera. Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or emits radiation. The camera may not be able to record or play back properly. Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions. If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera (page 92). Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to malfunctions and an inability to record images, this may render the recording medium unusable, or cause image data breakdown, damage or loss. Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface, resulting in insufficient light emission. To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always copy (back up) data to other medium. The contents of the recording cannot be compensated for if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media, etc.

Overexposure = too much light Whitish image Correct exposure
The exposure is automatically set to the proper value in the auto adjustment mode. However, you can adjust it manually using the functions below. [Manual exposure]: Allows you to adjust the shutter speed and aperture value manually. t page 24 [EV]: Allows you to adjust the exposure that has been determined by the camera. t page 27 [Metering Mode]: Allows you to change the part of the subject to be measured to determine the exposure. t page 30

Characteristics of shutter speed
Characteristics of aperture (F value)
Faster Moving objects appear stopped.
Slower Moving objects appear to flow.
Open In-focus range narrows, both backward and forward.
Close In-focus range widens, both backward and forward.
Adjusting the ISO sensitivity
ISO is unit of measurement (sensitivity), estimating how much light an image pickup device (equivalent to photo films) receives. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity. [ISO] adjusts the sensitivity t page 32
High ISO sensitivity Records a bright image even when shooting in a dark location. However, the image tends to become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity Records an image without noise. However, the image may become darker.
On the effects of lighting
The apparent color of the subject is affected by the lighting conditions.
Example: The color of an image affected by light sources

Weather/lighting

Daylight

Cloudy

Fluorescent

Incandescent

Characteristics of light

White (standard)

Bluish

The color tones are adjusted automatically in the auto adjustment mode. However, you can adjust color tones manually with [White Bal] (page 31).

Quality

On image quality and image size
A digital image is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels. If it contains a large number of pixels, the picture becomes large, it takes up more memory, and the image is displayed in fine detail. Image size is shown by the number of pixels. Although you cannot see the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data processing time differ when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen.

A histogram is a graph showing the brightness of an image. Set the mode dial to P or SCN in advance, then press repeatedly to display the histogram. The graph display indicates a bright image when skewed to the right side, a dark image when skewed to the left side. A histogram can be used to check the exposure and adjust [EV].

Multi Burst ( M )

Records 16 frames in succession as a still image file when you press the shutter button.
This is convenient for checking your form in sports, for example. You can select the Multi Burst shutter interval in [Interval] mode (page 34).

Burst (

Records the maximum number of images in succession (refer to the following table) when you press and hold down the shutter button.
When Recording disappears, you can shoot the next image.

Normal

Does not shoot continuously.
On the [Multi Burst] You can play back images shot with [Multi Burst] using the following procedure. To pause/resume: Press z on the control button. To play back frame-by-frame: Press b/B in pause mode. Press z to resume playback in series. You cannot use the following functions in the [Multi Burst] mode: Smart zoom Flash Inserting the date and time Dividing a series of images shot with [Multi Burst] Deleting a frame in a series of images shot with [Multi Burst] Setting the frame interval to a mode other than [1/30] when the mode dial is set to Setting the shutter speed to lower than 1/30 second when the mode dial is set to M When playing back a series of images shot with [Multi Burst] using a computer or a camera not equipped with the Multi Burst function, the image is displayed as a single image with 16 frames. The image size of images shot in the [Multi Burst] mode is 1M. You may not be able to shoot images in the [Multi Burst] mode depending on the Scene mode (page 27). On the [Burst] The flash is set to (No flash). When recording with the self timer, a series of a maximum of five images is recorded. When the mode dial is set to M, you cannot set the shutter speed in the [Burst] mode to 1/6 second or slower. When the battery level is low, or when the Memory Stick is full, the [Burst] stops. You may not be able to shoot images in the [Burst] mode depending on the Scene mode (page 27).

The date and time do not appear during shooting, instead, the indicator appears. The date and time appear in red on the lower-right corner of the screen during playback only.

Day&Time Date

The date is inserted in the order you select. (t step 2 Set the clock in Read This First)
Does not superimpose the date and time.
You cannot insert the date and time into movies or images in the [Multi Burst] mode. The date and time superimposed cannot be removed later.

Red Eye Reduction

Reduces the red-eye phenomenon when using the flash. Select this before shooting.

On ( Off

Reduces the red-eye phenomenon.
The flash pre-strobes twice or more before shooting.
Does not use Red Eye Reduction.
Because it takes about a second until the shutter clicks, hold the camera firmly to prevent the effects of vibration. Also, do not let the subject move. Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired effects depending on individual differences, the distance to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe, or other conditions.

AF Illuminator

The AF illuminator supplies fill light to focus more easily on a subject in dark surroundings. The AF illuminator emits red light allowing the camera to focus easily when the shutter button is pressed halfway, until the focus is locked. The ON indicator appears at this time.

Auto Off

Uses the AF illuminator. Does not use AF illuminator.
If the AF illuminator light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast, focus will not be achieved. (A distance of up to approximately 3.8 m (12 feet 5 1/2 inches) (W)/2.8 m (9 feet 2 1/8 inches) (T) is recommended.) Focus is achieved as long as the AF illuminator light reaches the subject, even if the light is slightly off the center of the subject. When [Focus] is set (page 29), [AF Illuminator] does not function. The AF range finder frame does not appear. The or indicator flashes, and AF operates with priority on subjects located near the center of the frame. The AF illuminator does not operate when (Twilight mode), (Landscape mode) or (Fireworks mode) is selected in the Scene mode (page 27). The AF illuminator emits very bright light. Although there are no problems with safety, do not look directly into the AF illuminator emitter at close range.

Auto Review

Displays the recorded image on the screen for approximately two seconds immediately after shooting a still image.

On Off

Use the Auto Review. Does not use Auto Review.
You cannot shoot the next image during the Auto Review display. If you press the shutter button halfway down during this period, the recorded image display disappears and you can immediately shoot the next image.
