Notes on using your camera
Types of “Memory Stick” that can be
used (not supplied)
The IC recording medium used by this
camera is a “Memory Stick Duo”. There are
two types of “Memory Stick”.
“Memory Stick Duo”: you can use a
“Memory Stick Duo” with your
camera.
“Memory Stick”: you cannot use a
“Memory Stick” with your camera.
Other memory cards cannot be used.
• For details on “Memory Stick Duo”, see
page 97.
When using a “Memory Stick Duo”
with “Memory Stick” compatible
equipment
You can use the “Memory Stick Duo” by
inserting it into the Memory Stick Duo
Adaptor (not supplied).
Memory Stick Duo Adaptor
Notes on the “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack
• Charge the supplied NP-FT1 battery pack before
using the camera for the first time. (tstep 1 in
“Read This First”)
• The battery pack can be charged even if it is not
completely discharged. Also, even if the battery
pack is not fully charged, you can use the
partially charged capacity of the battery pack as
is.
• If you do not intend to use the battery pack for a
long time, use up the existing charge and
remove it from your camera, then store it in a
cool, dry place. This is to maintain the battery
pack functions (page 99).
• For details on the usable battery pack, see
page 99.
Carl Zeiss lens
This camera is equipped with a Carl Zeiss
lens which is capable of reproducing sharp
images with excellent contrast.
The lens for this camera has been produced
under a quality assurance system certified
by Carl Zeiss in accordance with the quality
standards of Carl Zeiss in Germany.
No compensation for contents of the
recording
• The contents of the recording cannot be
compensated for if recording or playback is not
possible due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media, etc.
Internal memory and “Memory Stick
Duo” back up
• Do not turn off the camera or remove the battery
pack or “Memory Stick Duo” while the access
lamp is lighted, as the internal memory data or
“Memory Stick Duo” data may be destroyed.
Always protect your data by making a back up
copy. See page 23 for the data back up method.
Notes on recording/playback
• This camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-
proof, nor water-proof. Read “Precautions”
(page 102) before operating the camera.
• Before you record one-time events, make a trial
recording to make sure that the camera is
working correctly.
• Be careful not to get the camera wet. Water
entering the inside of the camera may cause
malfunctions which in some cases may not be
repairable.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright
light. It may cause the malfunction of your
camera.

5
• Do not use the camera near a location that
generates strong radio waves or emits radiation.
The camera may not be able to record or play
back properly.
• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations
may cause malfunctions.
• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it
before using the camera (page 102).
• Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to
malfunctions and an inability to record images,
this may render the recording medium unusable,
or cause image data breakdown, damage or loss.
• Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of
flash emission may cause dirt on the flash
surface to become discolored or to stick to the
flash surface, resulting in insufficient light
emission.
Notes on the LCD screen, LCD finder
(for models with an LCD finder) and
lens
• The LCD screen and the LCD finder are
manufactured using extremely high-precision
technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are
operational for effective use. However, there
may be some tiny black points and/or bright
points (white, red, blue or green in color) that
constantly appear on the LCD screen and the
LCD finder. These points are normal in the
manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
• Exposing the LCD screen, the finder 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.
• Be careful not to bump the lens, and be careful
not to apply force to it.
On image data compatibility
• This camera conforms with DCF (Design rule
for Camera File system) universal standard
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and
Information Technology Industries
Association).
• Playback of images recorded with your camera
on other equipment and playback of images
recorded or edited with other equipment on your
camera are not guaranteed.

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.
To shoot a still image difficult to focus on t[Focus] (page 34)
If the image looks blurred even after focusing, it may be because of camera shake. tSee
“Hints for preventing blur” (as follows).
Focus Focusing on a subject successfully
Press the shutter
button fully down
straight away.
Press the shutter
button halfway
down.
AE/AF lock indicator
Flashing indicator ,
Indicator lit/beeps
Then press the
shutter button
fully down.
Hints for preventing blur
Hold the camera steadily, keeping your arms at your side. Also, you can stabilize the
camera by leaning against a tree or a building beside you. Using a tripod, and using the
flash in dark places, and turning on the anti-blur function are also recommended.
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 25), the menus (page 30), and so
on.
60min

11
Enjoying the camera
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
ISO is unit of measurement (sensitivity), estimating how much light an image pickup device
(equivalent to photo films) receives. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ
depending on the ISO sensitivity.
To adjust the ISO sensitivity tpage 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.
EV:
Allows you to adjust the exposure that has
been determined by the camera.
tpage 33
Metering Mode:
Allows you to change the part of the
subject to be measured to determine the
exposure. tpage 36
Correct exposure
Underexposure
= too little light
Darker image
High ISO sensitivity
Records a bright image even when shooting in a dark location.
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 = Recording sensitivity
Exposure:

12
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 Bal] (page 36).
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.

Selecting the image size for use (tstep 4 in “Read This First”)
The default settings are marked with .
* Images are recorded in the same 3:2 aspect ratio as photograph printing paper or postcards, etc.
** Both edges of the image may be cut off when printing (page 91).
*** By using a “Memory Stick” slot or USB connection, you can enjoy higher quality images.
Selecting the image quality (compression ratio) in combination (page 37)
You can select the compression ratio when digital images are saved. When you select a high
compression ratio, the image lacks the fineness of detail, but has a smaller file size.
Pixel Many pixels (Fine
image quality and
large file size)
Example: Printing in
up to A4 size
