temperature may increase, resulting in 
automatic shutdown. If this occurs, wait 
until the camera has sufficiently cooled. 
The camera’s external temperature 
may also increase during use, however 
this is normal and does not indicate 
malfunction.
 
 Monitor
Difficult 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.
The light is caught in the picture.
•  Shooting with flash in dark situations results in an image with many flash 
reflections on dust in the air.
 
 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 3 days*1, 
the date and time settings return to the 
default setting, and must be reset.

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.
•  Take pictures using the touch screen.  g P. 29
•  Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the monitor.  g P. 37
After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose\
 the shot, and 
take the picture. 
•  Using the face priority AF.  g P. 38
•  Taking a picture of a shadowy subject.  g P. 51
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.
•  Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult. 
In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the sh\
utter button 
halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, c\
ompose the 
shot, and take the picture.
Subject with low contrast Excessively bright light in  center of frameSubject containing no vertical 
lines *1
Subjects at different 
distances*1Fast-moving subject
Subject not inside AF area
*1  It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, a\
nd then 
returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.
 
 Camera shake
Taking pictures without camera shake.
•  Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer].  g P. 32
The image pickup device shifts to correct for camera shake even if the I\
SO sensitivity 
is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom 
magnification.
•  Select [j Sport] in the scene mode.  g P. 17
The [j Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred \
by a 
moving subject.
•  Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity.  g P. 38
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high s\
hutter speed even 
at locations where a flash cannot be used.

Usage Tips

 Exposure (brightness) 
Taking pictures with the right brightness.
•  Select [Auto] for [Gradation] in picture mode. g P. 42
•  Using the face priority AF.  g P. 38
•  Taking pictures using [Spot Metering].  g P. 36
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] flash.  g P. 22
A subject against backlight is brightened.
•  Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene.  g P. 17
Select [q Beach & Snow] in the scene mode.
•  Taking pictures using exposure compensation.  g P. 21
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. N\
ormally, taking 
pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are d\
arker 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.  g P. 33
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 artificial light settings, 
and so on.)
 
 Image quality
Taking sharper pictures.
•  Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity.  g P. 38
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.
Playback/Editing tips
 
 Playback
Playing images in the internal memory.
•  Remove the card and display the images in internal memory.  g P. 5
Viewing images with high picture quality on a highdefinition TV
• Connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately).  g P. 56
 
 Editing
Erasing the sound recorded to a still image.
•  Display a still image to erase the sound, and select [Erase] for [ R]. g P. 27
