Notes on the LCD screen and lens

• The LCD screen is manufactured using

extremely high-precision technology, so over

99.99% of the pixels are operational for

effective use. However, some tiny black and/or

bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may

appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a

normal result of the manufacturing process, and

do not affect the recording.

• Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct

sunlight for long periods may cause

malfunctions. Be careful when placing the

camera near a window or outdoors.

• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen

may be discolored and that may cause a

malfunction.

• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a

cold location. This is not a malfunction.

• This camera is equipped with a power zoom

lens. Be careful not to bump the lens, and be

careful not to apply force to it.

Basic techniques for better images

When you press the shutter button halfway down, the camera adjusts the focus automatically

(Auto Focus). Remember to press the shutter button only halfway down.

When focusing is difficult t[Focus] (page 39)

If the image looks blurred even after focusing, it may be because of camera shake. tSee

“Hints for preventing blur” on the next page.

Focus Focusing on a subject successfully

Do not fully press

the shutter button

straight away.

Focus Exposure Color Quality

This section describes the basics so you can

enjoy your camera. It tells you how to use

various camera functions such as the mode

switch (page 20), and the menus (page 28).

Flash

Press the shutter

button halfway

down.

Then press the

shutter button fully

down.

Basic techniques for better images

Hints for preventing blur

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) mode in the

Camera (Scene Selection).

• 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.

Basic techniques for better images

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.

Adjusting the ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)

ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that

receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO

sensitivity.

To adjust the ISO sensitivity, see page 37.

Exposure Adjusting the light intensity

Overexposure

= too much light

Whitish image

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 36).

Metering Mode:

Allows you to change the part of the

subject to be measured to determine the

exposure (page 38).

Correct exposure

Underexposure

= too little light

Darker image

High ISO sensitivity

Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to

reduce blur.

However, the image tends to become noisy.

Low ISO sensitivity

Records a smoother image.

However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.

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

Exposure:

Basic techniques for better images

The apparent color of the subject is affected by the lighting conditions.

Example: The color of an image affected by light sources

The color tones are adjusted automatically in the auto adjustment mode.

However, you can adjust color tones manually with [White Balance] (page 41).

Basic techniques for better images

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.
