    • You also can configure settings other than those listed above (page 50).
    .Pixels and image size
    A digital camera image is a collection of small 
    dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are 
    in an image, the more detail there will be. 
    However, you generally can do with fewer 
    pixels when printing an image (L size) through 
    a print service, attaching an image to e-mail, 
    when viewing the image on a computer, etc.
    The size of an image indicates how many 
    pixels it contains, and is expressed as 
    horizontal pixels
    xvertical pixels.
    Example:
    • Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
    • For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be 
    stored, see page 122.
    • For information about movie image size, see page 34.
    • For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 73.

    .To select the snapshot image size
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the second Control Panel option from the top 
    (Snapshot Image Size).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to select an image size and then press [SET].
    • The initial factory default image size setting is “16M”.
    • Selecting “3:2” records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the 
    standard aspect ratio of print paper.
    • The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has an 
    aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of 
    television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible 
    with the aspect ratio an HDTV screen.
    • You should regard the print paper sizes suggested here as guidelines only (200 dpi 
    print resolution).

    .Specifying Movie Image Quality
    Movie image quality is a standard that determines the detail, smoothness, and clarity 
    of a movie during playback. Shooting with the high-quality (HD) setting will result in 
    better image quality, but it also shortens the amount of time you can shoot.
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the third Control Panel option from the top 
    (Movie Image Quality).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want and then press [SET].
    • The 16:9 aspect ratio is available when “HD” is selected as the image quality.
    • Memory capacity (Movie recording time you can shoot) will be affected by the 
    quality settings you configure (page 123).

    1.In the REC mode, press [2] ( ) once.
    2.Use [4] and [6] to select the flash 
    setting you want and then press [SET].
    • If there are no indicators on the monitor 
    screen, you can cycle through the flash 
    modes by pressing [2] ( ). You can turn 
    display information on or off by pressing 
    [8] (DISP) (page 11).
    3.Press the shutter button to shoot.

    							36Snapshot Tutorial
    IMPORTANT!
    • Foreign matter on the flash window can react with the light of the flash, producing 
    some smoke and abnormal odor. Though this does not indicate malfunction, oil 
    from your fingers and other foreign matter when left on the flash window can 
    become difficult to clean off later. Because of this, you should make it a regular 
    habit to wipe the window clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
    NOTE
    • Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.
    • The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too 
    close.
    • Flash charging time (page 125) depends on operating conditions (battery 
    condition, ambient temperature, etc.).
    • Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed, 
    which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions, 
    secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
    • With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with 
    exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.
    • The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source 
    can cause abnormal image colors.
    • Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash 
    photograph is prohibited.
    Red-eye Reduction
    Using the flash to shoot 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. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash 
    mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the 
    image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye.
    Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.
    • Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking 
    directly at the camera (flash).
    • Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from 
    the camera.

    image size and quality settings, whether or not a 
    memory card is loaded in the camera, and the flash 
    charge condition.

    Your camera provides you with 5X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal 
    distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally 
    processes the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 
    5X to 79.7X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 41).
    1.In the REC mode, press the zoom button to zoom.
    2.Press the shutter button to shoot the image.

    NOTE
    • The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the 
    camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image 
    deterioration (page 41).
    • Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera 
    movement when shooting with telephoto.
    • Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.
    • Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical 
    zoom setting before you press the shutter button to start movie recording.
    .Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom Switch Point
    Holding down z (telephoto) will zoom until the maximum optical zoom factor is 
    reached. Momentarily releasing the button when it reaches the maximum and then 
    pressing it again will switch to digital zoom, which you can use to set an even higher 
    zoom factor.
    • During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.
