12 G ETTING UP AND RUNNING GETTING UP AND RUNNING This section covers how to prepare your camera for use. Details on the use and installation of the battery and memory card are given as well as how to attach the hand strap and optional AC adapter .
Changing the lithium-ion battery To remove the battery , move the latch towards the back of the camera until the battery is released (5). Pull the battery out of the chamber (6). This digital camera uses one NP-200 lithium-ion battery . Before using the battery , read the safety warnings on pages 3 and 4 of this manual.
14 G ETTING UP AND RUNNING Battery-condition indicator Full-battery icon - the battery is fully charged. This icon is displayed for three seconds when the camera is switched on or switched between the recording or playback mode.
15 AC adapter (sold separately) The AC adapter AC-4 or AC-5 allows the camera to be powered from a household outlet. The AC adapter is recommended when the camera is interfaced with a computer or during periods of heavy use. AC adapter model AC-4 is for use in North America, Japan, and T aiwan, and AC-5 is for use in all other areas.
16 G ETTING UP AND RUNNING Installing and removing a memory card Insert the memory card all the way into the card slot and then release (3). The card should catch in the slot. • Insert the card so the face is toward the front of the camera. Always push the card in straight, never at an angle.
The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards compared with SD Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When using large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take longer .
18 G ETTING UP AND RUNNING Setting the date and time After initially inserting a memory card and charging the battery , the camera’s clock and calendar must be set. When images are recorded, the image data is saved with the date and time of record- ing.
Press the menu button to activate the play- back menu. Use the right key to highlight the setup 1 tab at the top of the menu. Use the zoom lever to highlight the date/time-set menu option. Press the enter button to display the date/time setting screen.
20 R ECORDING MODE RECORDING MODE This section covers the basic recording operation as well as advanced recording functions. T o start using the camera, read pages 20 through 29. Many of the recording functions are controlled with menus. The menu navigation sections concisely describe how to change menu settings.
21 Using the zoom lens This camera is equipped with a unique 5.7 - 17.1mm zoom lens. This is equivalent to a 37 to 1 1 1mm lens on a 35mm camera. The lens is controlled by the zoom lever at the back of the camera. In 35mm photography , focal lengths below 50mm are referred to as wide-angle; the angle of view is larger than that of the human eye.
22 R ECORDING MODE LCD monitor display - recording mode If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be hand held safely , the camera-shake warning indicator will appear on the monitor and the viewfinder indicator lamp will turn green and blink slowly .
23 Basic recording operation Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the focus and exposure. • The focus signals (p. 25) on the monitor and the indicator lamp next to the viewfinder will confirm that the image is in focus.
24 R ECORDING MODE Focus lock The focus-lock function is used when you want to compose the image with the subject off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject.
25 Focus signals Special focusing situations This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The focus icon in the lower right cor- ner of the LCD monitor and the indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicate the focus status. The shutter can be released regardless of whether the camera can focus on the subject or not.
26 R ECORDING MODE Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low-light and backlit conditions. Red-eye reduction - the flash fires multiple bursts before the main flash burst to reduce red-eye; an effect caused by light reflected from the retina. Use in low-light conditions when taking photographs of people or animals.
0.25m ~ 2.3m (0.8 ft. ~ 7.5 ft.) 27 Flash range The camera automatically controls the flash output. For well-exposed images, the subject must be within the flash range. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.
Basic Custom Setup 1 Drive mode Image size Quality White balance Single 1600X1200 Standard Auto Camera operations and recording functions are controlled on the menu. Navigating the menu is simple. The menu button turns the menu on and of f. The zoom lever and left and right keys control the cursor and change settings on the menu.
29 Refer to the following sections for details on the menu options and their settings. The setup 1 section can be accessed from both the recording-mode and playback menu (p. 54). Drive mode Image size Basic Quality White balance 1600 X 1200 1280 X 960 640 X 480 Super fine Fine Standard Economy Auto Single Continuous Self-timer Movie Audio rec.
30 R ECORDING MODE The drive modes control the rate and method images are captured. Icons indicating the selected drive mode appear on the monitor . The drive mode is selected in the basic section of the recording- mode menu (p. 28). When the camera is turned off, the drive mode is reset to single-frame advance.
The continuous-advance drive mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-release button. The number of images that can be captured at one time and the rate of capture depend on the image-quality and image-size setting.
Used for self-portraits, the self-timer will delay the release of the shutter for approxi- mately ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed.
The movie-recording drive mode is selected in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28). Movie clips up to approximately thirty-five seconds in length with audio can be recorded. The movie image is 320 X 240 pixels (QVGA) and recorded at a rate of around 340KB/s.
Ninety seconds of audio can be recorded without an image. The audio-recording drive mode is selected in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28). When the function is active, the live view is replaced with a blue screen. Approximately 842 seconds of audio can be stored on one 8MB memory card.
Changing image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image size based on the final use of the image - smaller images will be more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes will produce higher quality prints.
36 R ECORDING MODE Image quality S. FIN FINE STD ECON Economy - the smallest file sizes. LCD monitor display Super fine - the highest-quality image. Fine - high-quality image. Standard - the default setting. File type TIFF JPEG JPEG JPEG This camera has four image-quality settings: super fine, fine, standard, and economy .
The number of images that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size and type of card and the file size of the images. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others.
38 R ECORDING MODE White balance is the camera’s ability to make dif ferent types of lighting appear neutral. The ef fect is similar to selecting daylight or tungsten film, or using color compensating filters in conventional pho- tography . One automatic and four preset white-balance setting are avail- able.
39 Preset white balance Fluorescent - for fluorescent lighting: office ceiling lights. Cloudy - for overcast outdoor scenes. Preset white-balance settings must be set before the image is taken. Once set, the effect is immedi- ately visible on the monitor .
40 R ECORDING MODE Digital zoom Assisting the optical zoom is a four-step 2X digital zoom. The digital zoom is activated in the custom section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28). The digital zoom increases the magnification of the greatest telephoto setting of the optical zoom in four steps: X1.
41 Instant playback After a still image is captured, it can be displayed on the monitor for two seconds before being saved. Instant playback shows the last frame in the series when used with the continuous-advance drive mode (p. 31). When the LCD monitor is turned off (p.
V oice memo allows an audio track up to fifteen seconds to be recorded with a still image. The function is activated in the custom section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28). When the function is active, the white microphone icon is displayed on the LCD monitor .
43 Folder name All recorded images are stored in folders on the memory card. Folder names come in two formats: standard and date. Standard folders have an eight character name. The initial folder is named 100ML T09. The first three digits are the folder’s serial number , which will increase by one each time a new folder is created.
44 R ECORDING MODE LCD brightness The brightness of the LCD monitor can be set in eleven levels. After selecting the LCD brightness option and pressing the enter button on the menu (p. 28, 54), the LCD brightness screen will be displayed. Pressing and holding the display button will also active the LCD brightness screen.
45 Setting the date and time It is important to accurately set the clock. When a recording is made, the date and time of the recording are saved with the file and are displayed in playback mode or with the DiMAGE Image V iewer Utility software included on the CD-ROM.
Use the left and right keys (1) to adjust the exposure-compensation value. • The LCD monitor will display the exposure- compensation icon and value. • Change in exposure compensation is visible in the live image on the monitor . The adjustment in exposure will be automatically set after five seconds or when another camera button is pressed.
Sometimes the camera’s exposure meter is deceived by certain subjects. Exposure compensation can be used in these situations. For example, a very bright scene, such as a snowy landscape or a white sandy beach, can appear too dark in the captured image.
48 R ECORDING MODE The display-information button controls the LCD monitor display . The display cycles to the next position each time the button is pressed: full display , live image only , and monitor off. If the display button is pressed and held, the LCD-brightness adjustment screen will appear , see page 44.
Photography can be a rewarding pursuit. This guide is an introduction to some basic photographic principles. The zoom lens does not only affect how large the subject is in the picture, but it also influences the depth of field and perspective. Depth of field is the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus.
