Appendix
*1 This digital camera supports Exif 2.2 (also called “Exif Print”). Exif Print is a 
standard for enhancing the communication between digital cameras and printers. 
By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camera’s image data at the 
time of shooting is used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints.

							162Battery Capacity (Battery Pack NB-4L (Fully charged))
 The actual figures will vary according to the shooting conditions and 
settings.
 Movie data is excluded.
 At low temperatures, the battery pack performance may diminish and the 
low battery icon appears very rapidly. In these circumstances, the 
performance can be improved by warming the battery pack in a pocket 
before use.
Test Conditions
Shooting: Normal temperature (23 
°C ± 2 °C/73 °F ± 3.6 °F), normal relative 
humidity (50%
 ± 20%), alternating wide angle end and telephoto 
end shots at 30 second intervals with the flash fired once every 
two shots and the camera power turned off after every tenth 
shot.
Power is left off for a sufficient amount of time*, then the power 
is turned back on and the testing procedure is repeated.
 The included memory card is used.
*Until the battery returns to normal temperaturePlayback: Normal temperature (23 °C ± 2 °C/73 °F ± 3.6 °F), normal relative 
humidity (50%
 ± 20%), continuous playback at 3 seconds per 
image.
See Battery Pack Handling Precautions (p. 22).

Photo Tips and Information
Tip for Using the Self-timer (p.76)
Normally the camera shakes a little when you press the shutter button. 
Setting the self-timer to   delays the shutter release for 2 seconds and 
allows the camera to stop shaking, thus preventing a blurred image. 
Even better results can be obtained by placing the camera on a stable 
surface or by using a tripod to shoot.
How to Adjust the Exposure (p.91)
This camera automatically adjusts the exposure to shoot images with the 
optimal brightness. However, recorded images may sometimes be brighter 
or darker than the actual image depending on the shooting conditions. If 
this happens, adjust the exposure compensation manually.
Underexposure
The whole recorded image is dark, which 
makes white elements of the image appear 
gray. Shooting bright subjects or in backlit 
conditions may cause the image to be 
underexposed. Adjust the exposure 
compensation towards the + end.
Optimal Exposure
Overexposure
The whole recorded image is bright, which 
makes black elements of the image appear gray. 
Shooting dark subjects or in dark places may 
cause the image to be overexposed. Adjust the 
exposure compensation towards the - end.

Appendix
ISO Speed (p.98)
The ISO speed is the numeric representation of the camera’s sensitivity to 
light. The higher the ISO speed, the higher the sensitivity. A high ISO speed 
allows you to shoot images in dark indoor or outdoor conditions without a 
flash and also helps prevent blurred images due to camera shake. This is 
convenient when shooting images in places where flash photography is 
prohibited. The ISO speed setting makes full use of the available light, 
resulting in images that convey the feel of the place they were shot.
Advanced Technique for the Macro mode (p.68)
Macro mode can make unique images when used with the zoom function. 
For example, shooting a flower at maximum wide angle in Macro mode 
allows the camera to bring both the flower and the background into focus. 
However, shooting at maximum telephoto can throw the background out of 
focus to make the flower stand out.

Digital Macro
When using digital macro, you can make a subject even larger than in the 
normal macro mode. You can enjoy seeing characteristics of a subject in 
your photos that might escape the naked eye.
