RECORDING

Resolution Settings

The camera has four resolution modes: Super Fine ( ), Fine

(

), Normal ( ), Economy ( ).

• To determine the number of images that can be stored on a

memory card of a different capacity, multiply the capacities

in the table by the appropriate value.

• The actual number of images that can be stored in memory

cannot be specified precisely because the amount of

memory required for storage of each image differs accord-

ing to image contents.

• The figures in the left are approximations only. The actual

number of images depends on image subject matter.

Use the procedure under “Record Menu” on page 59 for

details on changing the resolution modes.

• Note that the maximum number of images that can be

stored in a single folder is 250. Because of this, even if you

are using a card that allows storage of more than 250 im-

ages, the camera’s monitor screen will show capacity for

up to 250 images only. You will be able to store the addi-

tional images by changing to another folder.

• The number of images that can be recorded may differ

when you use card browser (page 89).

RECORDING

After adjusting the exposure, press the shutter

button to record the image.

NOTES

• Exposure compensation is generally expressed in

terms of an exposure compensation (EV) value. The

exposure compensation value is always set to zero

whenever you turn on the camera.

• Each press of [+] or [–] changes the exposure com-

pensation value by 0.5EV. A change in either direction

is indicated on the monitor screen by arrows pointing

left (negative correction) or right (positive correction).

• The normal maximum range for exposure compensa-

tion is –2EV to +2EV. Under certain conditions, how-

ever, the camera may impose lower maximum values

when exposure compensation would result in an im-

age that is too dark or too light.

Exposure Compensation

This camera features an program AE function that automati-

cally changes shutter speed and aperture in accordance

with available light. In addition, you can also manually adjust

the exposure to compensate for backlighting, indirect indoor

lighting, dark backgrounds, and other special conditions.

To manually adjust the exposure

If the monitor screen is turned off, press the DISP button to

turn it on.

Set the Function Switch to REC.

Use [+] and [–] to perform exposure compensa-

tion.

• Pressing [+] or [–] displays an EV indicator that shows

the current exposure compensation setting.

• Pressing [+] makes the image on the monitor screen

brighter. Use it to adjust for dim indoor lighting and

backlighting.

• Pressing [–] makes the image on the monitor screen

darker. Use it to adjust for bright sunlight.

• The EV indicator turns red whenever the compensa-

tion value is at its limit.

RECORDING

• The exposure compensation value automatically re-

verts to zero whenever the shutter button is pressed.

You can manually reset the exposure compensation

value by using [+] and [–] to change the value back to

zero, which is indicated when the EV indicator disap-

pears from the monitor. EV value is fixed during pan-

orama recording.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Slide the Function Switch to REC.

Press MODE, and then select (CONTINUOUS).

Compose the image and then record it.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

This section describes more advanced recording operations

that are also provided by this camera.

Use the monitor screen for zoom, macro, movie, panorama,

manual, timer and multiple exposure recording operations.

Continuous Recording

Holding down the shutter button records up to six images at

0.5-second intervals.

IMPORTANT!

• The flash unit is disabled while Continuous Recording

is being used.

• Note that you can use the viewfinder only (monitor

screen turned off) when recording images at a 0.5-

second interval. The interval is about one second

when the monitor screen is turned on.

• The power/card access lamp flashes while data is be-

ing written to the memory card. Never remove the

memory card, batteries or AC adaptor from the cam-

era while this lamp is flashing.

• Do not perform an image record operation while the

low battery indicator “

” is displayed. Doing so may

result in failure of part of the image to be recorded.

• It takes about 60 seconds for six images to be stored

in memory.
