BASIC IMAGE RECORDING This causes an image or a message to appear on the monitor screen, and then enters the currently selected recording mode. If the camera is in the PLAY mode when it turns on, the message There are no files will appear if you do not have any images stored in memory yet. In addition, the icon will be visible at the top of the display. If this happens, press [ ] (REC) to enter the currently selected recording mode.
3. Compose the image on the monitor screen so
the main subject is within the focus frame.
The focusing range of the camera depends on focus mode you are using (page 68). You can compose images using either the monitor screen or the optical viewfinder (page 54). When using the optical viewfinder to compose images, you can use the [DISP] button to turn off the monitor screen and conserve battery power.

IMPORTANT! Auto Pan Focus is enabled when the REC tabs Auto PF setting is turned on (page 69). With Auto Pan Focus the shutter releases without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed and the image is recorded as soon as you press the shutter button all the way down. This helps to ensure that you are able to capture exactly the moment you want.

I Recording Precautions

Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto the USB cradle while the green operation lamp is flashing. Doing so not only causes the current image to be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in file memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera. Never remove the memory card while an image is being recorded to the memory card. Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems with recorded images. When Auto is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 100), the camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity in accordance with the brightness of the subject. This can cause some digital noise (graininess) to appear in images of relatively dark subjects. When recording a dimly lit subject while Auto is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 100), the camera increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed. Because of this, you need to guard against camera movement if you have flash turned off (page 59). Bright light shining on the lens can cause images to appear washed out. This tends to happen when recording images outdoors in bright sunlight. To protect against this, use your free hand to shade the lens from the light.

3. Use [] and [] to select the Auto Focus area
you want, and then press [SET].
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS Spot Multi

) to cycle through the focus mode settings until is shown as the focus mode indicator.

2. Record the image.

The focus and image recording operations are identical to those in the Auto Focus mode. NOTE When the Macro mode cannot focus properly because the subject is too far away, the camera automatically switches to the Auto Focus range (page 69). Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation (page 55) while recording with the Macro mode, a value will appear on the monitor screen as shown below to tell you the focusing range. Example: 10cm - 50cm
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT! Use of the flash along with wide angle zoom or the Macro mode can cause the light of the flash to become blocked, which can produce unwanted shadows in your image.

Using Pan Focus

Normally, your camera performs Auto Focus to ensure that your images are always in focus. Selecting Pan Focus disables Auto Focus, so the shutter is released as soon as you press the shutter button. This mode is best for basic snapshots. The focus range depends on the zoom setting, the amount of light available when recording, and other recording conditions.
2. Press the shutter button all the way down to
immediately record without Auto Focus.
NOTE If you press the shutter button half way, the focus distance will appear on the monitor screen.

Focus range

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT! The focus range at the optical zoom telephoto setting is narrower than the focus range at the wide angle setting. The focus range during darker lighting is narrower than the focus range of brighter lighting.

Using the Infinity Mode

The Infinity mode fixes focus at infinity (). Use this mode when recording scenery and other faraway images.

Using Manual Focus

With the Manual Focus mode, you can adjust the focus of an image manually. The following shows focus ranges in the Macro mode for two optical zoom factors.
Optical Zoom Factor 1X 3X Approximate Focus Range 6cm (2.4) to infinity () 18cm (7.1) to infinity ()

2. While watching the

image on the monitor screen, use [] and [] to focus.

Manual focus position

To do this: Focus in on the subject Focus out on the subject Do this: Press []. Press [].
At this point, a boundary also appears on the display, indicating the part of the image that will be used for manual focus.

Boundary

Pressing [] or [] causes the area inside of the boundary displayed in step 1 to fill the monitor screen momentarily to aid in focus. The normal image will reappear a short while later.
3. Press the shutter button to record the image.
IMPORTANT! In the Manual Focus mode, the [] and [] keys adjust focus, even if you used key customization to assign other functions to them (page 104).
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS NOTE Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation (page 55) while recording with manual focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen as shown below to tell you the focusing range. Example: MF 10cm -

Using Focus Lock

Focus lock is a technique you can use to focus on a subject that is not located within the focus frame when you record an image. You can use focus lock in the Auto Focus mode ). and the Macro mode (

1. Using the monitor

This locks the focus on the subject that is currently within the focus frame.

Main subject

2. Keeping the shutter
button pressed half way down, recompose the image as you like.
Exposure Compensation (EV Shift)
Exposure compensation lets you change the exposure setting (EV value) manually to adjust for the lighting of your subject. This feature helps to achieve better results when recording a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, or a subject that is against a dark background. EV Shift Range: 2.0EV to +2.0EV Steps: 1/3EV
3. When the image is composed the way you
want, press the shutter button the rest of the way to record it.
The focus and image recording operations are identical to those in the Auto Focus mode. NOTE Locking the focus also locks the exposure.
1. In a REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Select the REC tab,
select EV Shift, and then press [].

3. Use [] and [] to

change the exposure compensation value, and then press [SET].
Pressing [SET] registers the displayed value.

EV value

To cancel EV Shift, adjust the value until it becomes 0.0.

4. Record the image.

IMPORTANT! When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation. NOTE Performing an EV shift operation causes the metering mode to switch automatically to center weighted metering. Returning the EV shift value to 0.0 causes the metering mode to change back to multi-pattern metering. You can use key customization (page 104) to configure the camera to perform exposure compensation whenever you press [] or [] while in a REC mode. This comes in handy when adjusting exposure compensation while viewing the on-screen histogram (page 97).

[] : Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best used for light-colored subjects and backlight subjects.
[] : Decreases the EV value. A lower EV value is best for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

Adjusting White Balance

The wavelengths of the light produced by various light sources (daylight, light bulb, etc.) can affect the color of a subject when it is recorded. White balance lets you make adjustments to compensate for different lighting types, so the colors of an image appear more natural.
When shooting under these conditions: Normal conditions Outdoor daylight on a clear day Outdoor daylight on an overcast or rainy day, in the shade of a tree, etc. In the shade of a building or any other area where the color temperature is high Under white or daylight white fluorescent light (suppresses color fogging) Under daylight fluorescent light (suppresses color fogging) Under incandescent lighting Difficult lighting that requires manual control (See Configuring the White Balance Setting Manually.) Manual
Select this setting: Auto
select White Balance, and then press [].
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS NOTE When Auto is selected for the white balance setting, the camera automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment impossible. When this happens, use daylight, cloudy, or one of the other fixed white balance settings to specify the type of lighting available. You can use the key customization feature (page 104) to configure the camera so the white balance setting changes whenever you press [] or [] while in a REC mode.
Configuring the White Balance Setting Manually
Certain complex light sources or other environmental conditions can make it impossible to obtain good results when Auto or one of the fixed light source settings is selected for white balance. Manual white balance lets you configure the camera for a particular light source and other conditions. Note that you must perform manual white balance under the same conditions you will be shooting under. Have a sheet of white paper on hand before starting the following procedure.

Recording Images of Business Cards and Documents (Business Shot)
Recording a business card, document, whiteboard, or similarly shaped object from an angle can cause the subject to appear misshaped in the resulting image. Business Shot automatically corrects the shape of rectangular objects to make them appear like the camera was positioned directly in front of them.

I Setup Sample Images

Business cards and documents White board, etc.
IMPORTANT! Before recording, compose the image so outline of the item you want to record fits entirely within the monitor screen. The camera will not be able to detect the shape of the subject correctly unless it is enclosed entirely within the monitor screen. The camera also will be unable to detect the shape of the subject if it is the same color as the background. Make sure the subject is against a background that allows the outline of the subject to stand out.
Before keystone correction
After keystone correction
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS NOTE When the camera is at an angle to a business card or document it is recording, the shape of the business card or document may appear distorted in the image. Auto keystone correction corrects for this distortion, which means that subjects appear normal even if you record at an angle.

To use Business Shot

2. Use [] and [] to select the Business Shot
image you want, and then press [SET].
This displays a screen that shows all of the objects in the image that qualify as candidates for keystone correction. An error message will appear (page 202) if the camera is unable to find any suitable keystone correction candidate in the image. After a short while, the original image will be stored in memory, as-is.
4. Use [] and [] to select the candidate you

want to correct.

Using the Movie Mode
You can record movies with audio. A single movie can be as long as available memory capacity allows. File Format: AVI AVI format conforms to the Motion JPEG format promoted by the Open DML Group. Image Size: pixels Movie File Size: Approximately 300KB/second. Maximum Movie Length One Movie: As long as available memory capacity allows NOTE You can play back movies recorded in the Movie mode on your computer using Windows Media Player.

5. Use [] and [] to

select Correct, and then press [SET].
Selecting Cancel in place of Correct stores the original image as-is, without correcting it. IMPORTANT! The maximum Business Shot image size is pixels, even if the camera is configured for a larger image size. An image size setting smaller than pixels records images at the specified size.

You can use the Web browser shown below to view or print the contents of an album. Note that to view a movie on a computer running Windows 2000 or 98, you need to install DirectX from the bundled CD-ROM. Microsoft Internet Explorer Ver 5.5 or later
The album feature of the camera creates files that make it possible for you to view images on your computer in a photo album layout. You can also use the applications contained on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the camera to automate image transfer and to retouch images.

Using the Album Feature

The album feature creates an HTML photo album layout that displays your images. You can use the HTML layout to post your images on a Web page, or for printing the images.

Creating an album

IMPORTANT! Remember that creating an ALBUM folder (page 173) causes different size versions of each image to be created in memory. If there is an ALBUM folder in image memory when you specify printing of all images by a professional print service or on a printer, you may end up with unwanted multiple prints of the same image. To avoid this problem, use the procedure under To delete an album on page 183 to delete the ALBUM folder.

I To create an album

IMPORTANT! Never open the battery cover or remove the memory card from the camera while an album is being created. Doing so not only runs the risk of certain album files being skipped, it can also result in image data and other data in memory being corrupted. If memory becomes full while an album is being created, the message Memory Full appears on the monitor screen and album creation is terminated. Album creation will not be performed properly if the battery goes dead while album creation is in progress.
