INTRODUCTION • Best Shot Simply select the sample scene that matches the type of image you are trying to record and the camera performs troublesome setups automatically for beautiful pictures every time. Features • 3.2 million Effective Pixels A high-resolution megapixel CCD provides 3.2 million effective pixels (3.35 million total pixels) for images that print beautifully.
INTRODUCTION • PRINT Image Matching II Compatible Images include PRINT Image Matching II data (mode setting and other camera setup information). A printer that supports PRINT Image Matching II reads this data and adjusts the printed image accordingly, so your images come out just the way you intended when you recorded them. • Alarm A built-in alarm helps to keep you on time for important events, and even can be used in place of an alarm clock.
INTRODUCTION • Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true with young children. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter (3.3´) from the eyes of the subject. • Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and never let it get wet. Moisture creates the danger of fire and electric shock.
INTRODUCTION • Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device besides this camera.

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 4. Press the shutter About the REC Mode Monitor Screen release button to record the image. • The image shown on the monitor screen in the REC mode is a simplified image for composing purposes. The actual image is recorded in accordance with the image quality setting currently selected on your camera. The image saved in file memory has much better resolution and detail than the REC mode monitor screen image.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Recording Precautions Using Zoom • Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto the USB cradle while the operation/flash charge 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.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 5. In the REC mode, use [ ] and [ ] to change IMPORTANT! the digital zoom factor. • Zoom is disabled whenever the monitor screen is turned off (page 23). • Using digital zoom can cause degradation of the recorded image. • To disable digital zoom, select “Off” for the “Digital Zoom” setting on the “REC” tab.

Make sure that you keep the camera still until the shutter releases.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING ■ About Red-eye Reduction Flash Precautions Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of the eye. Red-eye reduction fires a preflash, which causes the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close. This is followed by another flash operation when the image is actually recorded.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING • When the red-eye reduction mode ( ) is selected, flash intensity is adjusted automatically in accordance with the exposure. The flash may not fire at all when the subject is brightly lit. • White balance is fixed while the flash is being used, so sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or other sources of illumination in the immediate area may affect the coloring of the recorded image.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING To do this: 5. Record the image. Select this setting: Specify a 10-second self-timer 10 sec Specify a 2-second self-timer 2 sec Specify Triple Self-timer X3 Disable the self-timer Off • When you press the shutter release button, the self-timer lamp flashes and the shutter releases after the selftimer reaches the end of its countdown. • With the Triple Self-timer, the camera records a series of three images in the sequence described below.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING NOTES Specifying Image Size and Quality • If you plan to make large prints of your images or otherwise use them in applications where highresolution is your top priority, select the “2048 x 1536” image size. • If you plan to send images as e-mail attachments or otherwise use them in applications where data economy is your top priority, select the “640 x 480” image size. You can specify the image size and image quality to suit the type of image you are recording.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING NOTE To specify image quality • Use the “Fine” setting when image quality is your top priority and file size is secondary. Conversely, use the “Economy” setting when file size is your top priority and image quality is secondary. 1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the “REC” tab. 3. Use [ ] and [ ] to select “Quality”, and then IMPORTANT! press [ ]. • Actual file size depends on the type of image you record.
