Notice

If static electricity or electromagnetism causes data transfer to discontinue midway (fail), restart the application or disconnect and connect the communication cable (USB, etc.) again.

Storing the lens hood

The lens hood can be attached in the reverse direction to store it with the camera when it is not in use. Position the lens hood as shown below, by aligning the mark on the lens hood and the mark on the lens, and attach the hood to the lens (1). Turn the lens hood clockwise until it clicks to align with the z mark (2).

Attaching the lens hood

When you shoot in bright lighting conditions, such as outdoors, we recommend that you use the lens hood to reduce the image quality deterioration caused by unnecessary light. Position the lens hood as shown below, by aligning the mark on the lens hood and the mark on the lens, and attach the hood to the lens (1). Turn the lens hood clockwise until it clicks to align with the z mark (2).
Attaching a conversion lens (not supplied)
When you want to do enhanced wide-angle shots or zoom-in shots on distant objects, attach a conversion lens.
1 Attach the lens adaptor (not supplied). 2 Attach a conversion lens.

Matching shooting features to photo-shooting situations
After you are familiar with your camera, lets shoot an image in various situations with some settings changed. This section describes some representative shooting examples.
Q: To shoot a night scene
Q: To shoot a portrait with its background blurred
, Shooting with shutter speed priority mode (page 36)
Using the flash in the auto adjustment mode restricts the shutter speed and the flash light does not reach distant subjects. The image, therefore, is not captured clearly. In such cases, slow the shutter speed manually, set the flash to (No flash), and reduce the light using the EV adjustment. You can then shoot a clear night scene.
, Shooting with aperture priority mode (page 37)
When you want to enhance the person with the background blurred, adjust the aperture manually. The more the aperture is opened (the aperture value becomes smaller), the narrower the focus is. The background is blurred accordingly.
Q: To shoot without flash
Q: To shoot a portrait against light
, Selecting the ISO sensitivity (page 45)
When you cannot use the flash or set the shutter speed slower, increase the ISO rating. The higher rated ISO setting helps maximize the effect of the surrounding light to shoot. We recommend that you set the ISO sensitivity according to the shutter speed so that the vibration warning indicator (page 120) is not displayed.

, Selecting a flash mode (page 50)
Shooting a human subject in a bright place can create dim facial shadows. This occurs when the background is brighter than the person. In such cases, set the flash to (Forced flash). You can shoot both the person and the background clearly.
You can use the flash within the reach of the flash light.
Q: To shoot a moving subject
When shooting a moving person or subject, set the shutter speed higher to freeze the motion or set the shutter speed slower to get the flow of motion of the subject. Adjust the shutter speed to express a moment that is beyond the speed of the naked eye.
Q: To shoot the beautiful afterglow of the sunset
, Adjusting color tones (page 55)
If the image you shot is not expressed in your favorite colors, change the white balance mode. Setting the white balance mode to (Daylight) enhances the redness of the sunset.

Exposure setting

Shooting with Program auto
In program auto mode, the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed and the aperture according to the brightness of the subject just as in the auto adjustment mode (mode dial: ). In addition, the program auto mode can change the shooting settings in the menu, a feature which the auto adjustment mode does not have (page 130).

Program Shift

You can change the aperture value and shutter speed combination while keeping the brightness fixed.
1 Select the aperture value and shutter speed combination using the main command dial. is indicated while the aperture value and shutter speed combination is shifted. 2 Shoot the image. To cancel Program Shift, turn the main command dial to return the indication from to.
You cannot shift the aperture value and shutter speed combination when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. When the brightness changes, the aperture value and shutter speed also change while maintaining the shift amount. You may not be able to change the aperture value and shutter speed combination depending on your shooting situations. When the flash mode setting is changed, Program Shift is canceled. Setting the mode dial to other than P or turning off the power cancels Program Shift.
Shooting with shutter speed priority mode
You can adjust the shutter speed manually. If you shoot a moving subject at a higher shutter speed, it appears as if frozen on the image. At a lower shutter speed, the subject appears as if it flowing. Aperture value is automatically adjusted to attain correct exposure according to the brightness of the subject.

2 Move the PUSH AF/Expanded focus frame to the portion you want to focus on by moving the multi-selector to v/V/b/B. Using the expanded focus function (page 74), the area around the PUSH AF/Expanded focus frame is doubled ( turns yellow), so you can easily focus on a subject. When you stop rotating the manual focus ring, the expanded display will be canceled after about two seconds ( turns white). 3 Turn the manual focus ring to achieve a sharp focus. When the indicator flashes, the focus distance has reached its limit.
Manual focus distance information is approximate. The PUSH AF/Expanded focus frame is not displayed when using the digital zoom. To cancel the expanded focus function t page 74 z Convenient focus adjustment function Pressing the PUSH AUTO button focuses on a subject located near the PUSH AF/Expanded focus frame ( turns to ). Since this helps to achieve the focus easily, you can use this function as a preparation before doing fine adjustment with manual focus ring.

Note that the surface of the flash emitter may be hot right after you use the flash several times in succession. The recommended distance from the base point of distance mark using the flash is about 0.5 m to 8.5 m (1 feet 7 3/4 inches to 27 feet 10 3/4 inches) (W)/0.4 m to 5.0 m (1 feet 3 3/4 inches to 16 feet 4 7/8 inches) (T) (when ISO is set to [Auto]). Attaching the supplied lens hood or the optional lens adaptor blocks a flash light. Because the shutter speed is slower under dark conditions when (Slow synchro), (Slow synchro with red-eye reduction) or (No flash) is selected, it is recommended that you use a tripod. While the flash is being charged, the /CHG lamp flashes. After charging is completed, the lamp goes out. You can change the brightness of the flash using [Flash Level] in the menu settings (page 63). In dark surroundings, fill light is emitted to focus on a subject. When you do not use that light, set [AF Illuminator] to [Off] (page 73). You can mount an external flash on this camera (page 52).

To make fine adjustments

Using this adjustment, you can shoot with a color conversion filter effect. The adjustment can be set in 3 steps and its compensation is equivalent to 10 mired for each step (see below). This adjustment is available except for AWB (Auto).

1 Press and hold WB (White balance) and turn the main command dial to select a mode closer to the lighting conditions. 2 Press and hold WB (White balance) and turn the sub command dial to set the fine adjustment value. + or - is indicated next to the selected mode icon.
Depending on the type of fluorescent light, fine adjustment may not be achieved properly even if you select (Fluorescent). When you use the flash except in WB (Flash) or (One push) mode, you cannot make the fine adjustment, since the white balance is set to Auto. z On mired Mired is a measurement unit that multiplies the inverse number of a color temperature by 106. As for the color temperature, regardless of its variation width, the lower the color temperature is, the larger its temperature difference is, and vice versa. Mired expresses the variation width in the approximate proportion and it is used as a measurement for units of color conversion filters.
