I love this camera. I have a gray and black one. I like how the camera has great zoom and video. The video is so easy to upload to the web. Not my favorite camera. It definitely wears over time. But it does take good pictures, however, most cameras these days take good pictures.

[ Notes on recording/playback
Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly. The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splashproof, nor water-proof. Read Precautions (page 32) before operating the camera. Avoid exposing the camera to water. If water enters inside the camera, a malfunction may occur. In some cases, the camera cannot be repaired. Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the malfunction of the camera. Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or emits radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back images. Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions. If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera (page 32). Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may not be able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become unusable or image data may be damaged. 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.
[ On image data compatibility

The camera moved accidentally when you took the image. This is called Camera shake. On the other hand, if the subject moved when you took the image, it is called subject blur.

Camera shake

Cause Your hands or body shake while you hold the camera and press the shutter button, and the entire screen is blurred.
What you can do to reduce the blurring Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat surface to hold the camera steady. Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and stabilize the camera by holding your arms firmly at your side after pressing the shutter button.

Subject blur

Cause Even though the camera is steady, the subject moves during the exposure so the subject looks blurred when the shutter button is pressed.
What you can do to reduce the blurring Select (High Sensitivity) with the mode dial. Select a higher ISO sensitivity to make the shutter speed faster, and press the shutter button before the subject moves.
Notes When the anti-blur function is set to [Auto], you can reduce the camera shake automatically. However, this is not effective for subject blur. Besides, camera shake and subject blur occur frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions, such as those encountered in (Twilight) mode or (Twilight Portrait) mode. In that case, shoot with the above tips in mind.
Exposure Adjusting the light intensity
You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter.

Exposure:

Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives light Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass through ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) = Recording sensitivity
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. Adjusting EV: Allows you to adjust the exposure determined by the camera (page 39). Metering Mode: Allows you to change the part of the subject to be measured to determine the exposure (page 41).

When shooting movies: Press the shutter button fully down. To stop recording, press the shutter button fully down again.
If you shoot a still image of a subject that is difficult to focus on
The shortest shooting distance is approximately 5 cm (2 inches) (W)/50 cm (1 feet 7 3/4 inches) (T) (from the front of the lens). When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to flash slowly and the beep does not sound. In addition, the AF range finder frame disappears. Recompose the shot and focus again.
Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:
It is dark and the subject is distant. The contrast between the subject and the background is poor. The subject is seen through glass. The subject is moving quickly. There is reflective light or shiny surfaces. The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.

* When you shoot images using (Twilight Portrait) or (Twilight) mode, the shutter speed becomes slower, and blurring is occur frequently, so use of a tripod is recommended.
Functions you can use in Scene Selection
For shooting an image appropriately according to the scene condition, a combination of functions is determined by the camera. Some functions are not available, depending on the Scene Selection mode. ( : you can select the desired setting)
