Usage Tips

If the camera does not work as intended, or if an error message is displayed on the screen, and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the information below to fi x the problem(s).

Troubleshooting

Battery

“The camera does not work even when batteries are installed”.

● Insert recharged batteries in the correct

direction.

“Inserting and removing the battery and card (commercially available)” (p. 4), “Charging the battery” (p. 5)

● Battery performance may have been reduced

temporarily due to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while. Card/Internal memory

Card/Internal memory

“An error message is displayed”.

“Error message” (p. 40)

Shutter button Shutter button

“No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed”.

● Cancel sleep mode.

To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the n button to turn the camera on.

● Press the q button to switch to the shooting

mode.

● Wait until #(fl ash charge) stops blinking

(39)

39 EN

Monitor Monitor

“Diffi cult to see”.

● Condensation may have occurred. Turn off

the power, and wait for the camera body to become acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry out before taking pictures.

“Vertical lines appear on the monitor”. ● This condition may occur when the camera is

pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear sky and so on.

The lines may appear on the recorded movie.

“The light is caught in the picture”.

● Shooting with fl ash in dark situations results in

an image with many fl ash refl ections on dust in the air.

Date and time function Date and time function

“Date and time settings return to the default setting”.

● If the batteries are removed and left out of the

camera for about 12 hours*1_{, the date and time} settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.

*1_{The time until the date and time settings} return to the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded. “Turning on the camera and making the initial settings” (p. 7)

Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

“The camera makes a noise when taking pictures”.

● The camera may activate the lens and make a

noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.

Shooting tips

When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.

Focusing

“Focusing on the subject”

● Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the monitor

After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 9)

● Set [AF Mode] (p. 25) to [Face/iESP] ● Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 25)

The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.

● Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is diffi cult

In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.

Subjects with low contrast

When extremely bright objects appear in the center of the monitor

Object with no vertical lines*1

*1_{It is also effective to compose the shot by holding} the camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.

When objects are at different distances

Fast-moving object

The subject is not in the center of the frame

(42)

42 EN

Camera shake

“Taking pictures without camera shake” ● Taking pictures using N (p. 14) ● Select [C Sport] in the scene mode (p. 13)

The [C Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.

● Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity

If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a fl ash cannot be used. “ISO sensitivity” (p. 22)

Exposure (brightness)

“Taking pictures with the right brightness” ● Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 25)

Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.

● Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 21) fl ash

A subject against backlight is brightened.

● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene

Select [q Beach & Snow] in the scene mode (p. 13).

● Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 21)

Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.

Color hue

“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear”

● Taking pictures by selecting white balance (p. 21)

Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB Auto] setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artifi cial light settings, and so on.)

(43)

43 EN

Image quality

“Taking sharper pictures”

● Taking pictures with the optical zoom

Avoid using digital zoom (p. 26) to take pictures.

● Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity

If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy.

Camera care

Exterior

• Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very

dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well.

Monitor

• Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Lens

• Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower,

then wipe gently with a lens cleaner.

Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated cloth. Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is

left dirty.

Battery/USB-AC adapter • Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Storage

• When storing the camera for extended periods,

remove the battery, USB-AC adapter and card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.

• Periodically insert the battery and test the camera

functions.

Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are handled since this may result in corrosion.

Using a separately sold USB-AC

adapter

The USB-AC adapter F-3AC (sold separately) can be used with this camera. Do not use any USB-AC adapter other than the dedicated one. When using F-3AC, be sure to use the USB cable included with this camera.

Do not use any other USB-AC adapter with this camera.

Shooting is not available when using the F-3AC.

Using a separately sold

charger

A charger (LI-41C: sold separately, or UC-50 and UC-42BC: sold separately) can be used to charge the battery.

Using your charger and USB-AC

adapter abroad

• The charger and USB-AC adapter can be used in

most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger and USB-AC adapter may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent.

• Do not use travel voltage converters as they could
