Key Features
Wide-angle zoom lens can capture wide-

angle pictures
This camera has a compact body only 25
mm thick, featuring a 24-mm* (Wide-angle)
to 72-mm* (Telephoto) 3× optical zoom lens
that covers a wide range of shooting. The
wide-angle lens is great for capturing
buildings, landscape scenes, group photos,
and more.
*Equivalent to that on a 35mm camera
Camera shake correction function
reduces blurring (P.106)
The camera comes with a camera shake
correction function to allow you to take
clearer pictures with minimized blurring
even indoors, at night and in other
situations where camera shake may occur.
Variety of accessories for greater

creative expression (P.16)
Use the camera with the optional hood &
adapter and 19-mm wide conversion lens to
capture even wider angles. Enhance your
photographic experience with a variety of
optional accessories, including an LCD
viewfinder and cable switch. The camera is
equipped with a hot shoe to allow you to use
an external flash.
Macro shooting at 1 cm (P.43) and close-
up flash shooting at 15 cm (Telephoto)
or 20 cm (Wide-angle) (P.44)
The unsurpassed macro shooting function
allows you to capture details from a very
close distance at only 1 cm. The camera
also has a built-in flash for close-up shots at
15 cm (Telephoto) or 20 cm (Wide-angle).
This combination gives you clear macro
shots even under low light conditions.

Aperture priority mode, manual
exposure mode, and program shift mode
for fine-tuned adjustments
You can manually set the aperture value
and shutter speed. This small, compact,
and lightweight camera has advanced
modes that rival those of digital SLR
cameras.
Power your camera in one of three ways (P.25)
You can power the camera in one of three
ways for convenient shooting anytime,
anywhere. Use the supplied large-capacity
rechargeable battery for long periods of
shooting and playback. Use commercially
available alkaline batteries when traveling
with your camera. Use the convenient AC
adapter for transferring data to a computer.
10.01 megapixel CCD and RAW mode for
high-quality shooting (P.80)
The camera has a CCD with 10.01 million
effective pixels to ensure high-resolution images.
In addition, you can use RAW mode to save
the raw picture data (as a .DNG file). This

processing on a computer. A JPEG file
based on the DNG file is recorded at the
same time.

and easier operations (P.20)
You can use the up-down dial and ADJ. lever
to quickly and easily make the shooting
settings and various menu operations.

pixels at 30 frames per second and with full
sound.

settings with my settings mode (P.76)
You can customize two groups of settings,
and then turn the mode dial to MY1 or MY2
to shoot with those registered settings.
Skew correction mode helps straighten

skewed images (P.46)
In skew correction mode, a rectangular
object shot at an angle can be straightened
to look as if it were shot squarely. With the
simple touch of a button, you can straighten
skewed images of objects such as a
message board, a display panel, or a name
card.

camera data to a computer
Install the provided software on your computer
and then simply connect the camera to your
computer with the provided USB cable to
automatically transfer images to your computer.
The camera is compatible with USB 2.0 for
high-speed data transfers. (Your computer
must also be compatible with USB 2.0 to
take advantage of this feature.)
Irodio Photo & Video Studio software for
browsing, viewing, and editing still
images and movies (P.166)
This bundled software enables you to view,
organize, and edit shot images. You can
also use the video editor function to create
movies using still images, video clips,
audio, and music files.

About the Battery

Rechargeable Battery DB-60 (supplied)
This is a lithium-ion battery. It is economical
because you can recharge it using the battery
charger and use it over and over again. The
battery lasts a long time, so it is convenient
when traveling.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can also use the following types of batteries.
• AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores)
You can obtain them anywhere, so they are convenient for travel.
However, in a low-temperature environment, the number of shots you can take will
decrease. Warm the batteries before use. It is recommended that you use the
rechargeable battery when using the camera for a long time.
• AAA Oxyride Batteries (available in stores)
These are not rechargeable batteries, but they can be used longer in a digital camera
than AAA alkaline batteries.
• AAA Nickel-Hydrogen Batteries (available in stores)
These batteries are economical because you can recharge and reuse them over and
over again. Please use a battery charger available in stores.
25
Number of shots you can take ---------------------------------------------------------------
• Approximate number of shots you can take on a single battery charge
Number of Shots
Battery Type
(Normal Mode)
Rechargeable Battery (DB-60) Approx. 340*1
AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores) Approx. 30*2
*1 Approximately 290 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.
*2 Approximately 25 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.
• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, LCD monitor on, 30
seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-angle or
wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after
each 10 shots).
• The number of shots when using AAA alkaline batteries is based on the use of AAA
alkaline batteries manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd.
• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of
time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The nickel-hydrogen batteries available in stores are not factory-charged. Charge
them before use.
• The nickel-hydrogen batteries may be inert and consequently may not supply power
immediately after they are purchased or when left unused for more than a month. In
such a case, recharge the batteries two or three times before use. The batteries self-
discharge with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge them before use.
• The life of an AAA alkaline battery depends on the brand and the storage time from
the date of production. In addition, the life of an alkaline battery becomes shorter at
low temperatures.
• Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell and Ni-Cd batteries, cannot be used.
• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off
and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.
• Please remove the batteries if you are not going to use the camera for a long period
of time.
• When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium-ion
battery (DB-60). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
26
SD Memory Card (available in stores)
You can store still images you have taken either in the camera’s
internal memory or on an SD memory card (available in stores).
The internal memory capacity is 26 MB.
To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a
high-capacity SD memory card.
Where images are recorded-------------------------------------------------------------------
When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera records images to the internal
memory; when an SD memory card is loaded, it records images to the SD memory
card.
When no SD memory card is loaded When an SD memory card is loaded
Records to the internal memory Records to the SD memory card
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera does not record to the internal memory,
even if the card is full.
• Take care not to get the contacts of the card dirty.
Write-protecting your images ----------------------------------------------------------------

Move the write-protection switch on the SD memory card to
LOCK to prevent your still images from being accidentally erased
or the card from being formatted. If you unlock the card (by
returning the switch to its original position), it is once again
possible to erase images and format the card.
It is recommended to move the write-protection switch to LOCK
when you have some important data recorded.
Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because no
data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card before shooting.
27
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• For information on switching between the SD memory card and internal memory
during playback, see P.52.
• Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on
the capacity of the SD memory card. (GP.197)
• Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it with this camera.
(GP.137)
• When using an SD memory card previously used with another camera, be sure to
back up any necessary data on the card before formatting it. (GP.137)

White saturation highlights display --------------------------------------------------------

The white saturation areas of the image flash in black. White saturation is the loss of
grayscale that indicates the color shading in an image in which very bright areas of the
subject are rendered in white. An image with a loss of grayscale cannot be edited later.
It is recommended that you shoot another image while avoiding direct sunlight and
setting the exposure level lower (-). (GP.100)
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The white saturation highlights display is for reference only.

Maximizing the LCD Monitor Brightness
Hold the DISP. button down to maximize the display brightness.
When the brightness is at the maximum setting, holding the DISP.
button down returns the brightness to the level set in [LCD
BRIGHTNESS]. (GP.139)
Histogram
When Histogram is on, a histogram
appears in the lower right corner on the
LCD monitor. A histogram is a graph
indicating the number of pixels on the
vertical axis and the brightness on the
horizontal axis (from left to right,
shadows (dark areas), midtones, and
highlights (bright areas)).
By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an
image without being affected by the brightness around the LCD
monitor. This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright
or dark.
If the histogram has only peaks on the
right side without anything else, this
picture is over-exposed with too many
pixels only for highlight sections.
If the histogram has only peaks on the

left side without anything else, this
picture is under-exposed with too
many pixels only for shadow sections.
Correct the exposure to an appropriate
level.
61
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The histogram displayed on the LCD monitor is for reference only.
• Depending on the shooting conditions (use of the flash, dark surrounding light, etc.),
the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the brightness
of the shot image.
• Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the best
possible result.
• A histogram with peaks in the center may not necessarily provide the best result to
suit your particular requirements.

For example, an adjustment is required if you want to underexpose or overexpose
the image.
• For information on how to correct the exposure compensation, see P.100.

Note ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The number of images that can be stored in the internal memory or SD memory card
depends on the [PIC QUALITY/SIZE] setting. (GP.197)
• There are three picture quality modes: Normal mode (N), Fine mode (F), and RAW
mode.
Normal mode: The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally,
shooting is done in this mode.
Fine mode: The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the
picture quality is better than in Normal mode.
RAW mode: The raw image data is saved as a RAW format file (.DNG file).
1
A JPEG file is also recorded at the same time. This allows you

to use image editing software to edit the image while retaining
the high quality at the time the image was shot.
Shooting with RAW mode ----------------------------------------------------------------

Normally, a shot image is processed and compressed by the camera and then saved as
a small JPEG file. To make a JPEG file small, the image data is compressed and the
image quality is lowered.
When shooting in RAW mode, shot images are not processed by the camera. The raw
data loaded from the camera’s sensor is stored in the DNG file created when shooting in
RAW mode. A DNG file is a raw image format designed by Adobe Systems. You can use
image editing software compatible with the DNG file format to edit the near-original
image data on a computer. You can use the provided Irodio Photo & Video Studio to edit
DNG files on Windows. However, you cannot use the Irodio Photo & Video Studio to edit
DNG files on a Macintosh. Use a commercially-available software that can edit DNG
files.
When shooting in RAW mode, note the following:

• You cannot use CONT. MODE, AUTO BRACKET, DIGITAL ZOOM, or IMAGE WITH
SOUND in RAW mode.
• No date is added to the DNG file even if [DATE IMPRINT] is set. The date is added to
the JPEG file recorded at the same time as the DNG file.
• [IMG SET] settings on the Shooting menu apply only to the JPEG file recorded at the
same time.
• You can use [RAW/JPEG SETTING] on the SETUP menu to change the picture
quality and image size of the JPEG recorded at the same time. (GP.152)

Changing the Sensitivity
(ISO SETTING)
ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive film is to light. A greater
value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for
shooting an object in a dark place or a fast-moving object while
minimizing blurring.
1 You can select from the following ISO settings:
[AUTO], AUTO-HI, ISO 80, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800,
ISO 1600
When ISO setting is set to [AUTO], the camera automatically
changes the sensitivity according to the distance, brightness, zoom,
macro settings, and picture quality/size. Usually, use the camera in
the [AUTO] mode.
When the ISO setting is set to [AUTO-HI] (auto high sensitivity), the
sensitivity is automatically set according to the shooting conditions
but at a higher sensitivity than in [AUTO]. When shooting a dark
subject, the shutter speed set in [AUTO-HI] is faster than in [AUTO],
which may reduce camera shake or blurring of the subject. In
[AUTO-HI], the sensitivity is automatically increased to the ISO
sensitivity set in the SETUP menu. (GP.143)
If you do not want to allow the camera to change the ISO sensitivity,
select an ISO setting other than [AUTO] or [AUTO-HI].

Caution------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• You cannot use the internal flash when an external flash is attached as this can cause
injury or damage.
• Irrespective of flash setting, a flash ON signal is output to the X contact of the hot shoe.
To stop an external flash, use a switch on the flash.
• Exposure may not be appropriate even when the F-value and ISO sensitivity of the
external flash are the same as those of the camera. If so, change the f-number and
ISO sensitivity of the flash.
• As the flash ON signal, the camera outputs a positive pulse to the X contact.
• A flash on the market rarely have an X contact of the opposite polarity. This kind of
flash may not only not work but also cause a problem to the camera. For the terminal
specifications, contact the manufacturer of the external flash.
• Use an external flash of a lighting angle covering the angle of view of the shooting
lens.
• Use an external flash basically at a distance where the internal flash is not adequate
(long distance). Shooting at a short distance may end in over-exposure.
• Do not use an external flash having a special signal pin. Using such a flash may cause
inappropriate exposure or damage of the camera circuit.
• You cannot use an LCD viewfinder when an external flash is attached.
