Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake” 
● Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] 
(p. 33)
The image pickup device
*1 shifts to correct for 
camera shake even if the ISO sensitivity is not 
increased. This function is also effective when 
taking pictures at a high zoom magni fi cation.
*1   A device that takes light received through the 
lens and converts it into electric signals.
 
● Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode] 
(p. 37)
 
● Select [C Sport] in the scene mode (p. 14)
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. 27)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”  
● Taking pictures of a subject against a 
backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when 
shot against backlight.
[Shadow Adjust] (p. 31)
[h Backlight HDR] (p. 14)  
● Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 32)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face 
against backlight, and the face is brightened.
 
● Taking pictures using [ n] for [ESP/n] 
(p. 32)
Brightness is matched with a subject in the 
center of the screen and the image is not 
affected by background light.
 
● Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 26)  fl ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
 
● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow 
scene
Select [q Beach & Snow], [a Snow] in the 
scene mode (p. 14).
 
● Taking pictures using exposure 
compensation (p. 26)
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. 27)
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 arti fi cial light settings, 
and so on.)
Image quality
“Taking sharper pictures”
 
● Taking pictures with the optical zoom or 
super-resolution zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 33) 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. 
“ISO sensitivity” (p. 27)

● Set [Power Save] (p. 49) to [On]
Playback/Editing tips
Playback
“Playing images in the internal memory and card”

high-de fi nition TV”
 
● Connect the camera to the TV using an 
HDMI cable (sold separately)
 
● “Playing back images on a TV  d [TV Out]”

Appendix
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.
 
• Foreign materials may be attached to the camera 
when using the camera in conditions with foreign 
materials such as dirt, dust or sand. If you continue 
to use the camera in such conditions, it could 
cause damage to the camera. 
To avoid such damage, wash the camera using the 
following method.
1  Close and lock the battery/card cover and 
connector cover  fi rmly. (p. 5)
2  Fill a bucket or other container with fresh 
water, immerse the camera facing downward 
in the bucket and shake the camera 
thoroughly. And rinse the camera by placing 
it directly under a strong stream of tap water 
with pressing the button.
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
