Changing the Save Method for the 
Original Image
When shooting still images in the Color Accent or Color 
Swap mode, you can set whether or not to save the original 
image as well as the transformed one.
1 (Rec.) Menu [Save Original]
[On]/[Off]*.
See Menus and Settings (p. 23).
*Default setting.
zIf [On] is selected, the two 
images will be numbered 
consecutively with the altered 
image following the original. 
When [Save Original] is Set to [On]
- Only the transformed image displays in the LCD 
monitor while shooting in the Color Accent or Color 
Swap mode.
- The transformed image is reviewed in the LCD 
monitor after shooting in the Color Accent or Color 
Swap mode. If you erase the image at this point, the 
original image is erased along with the transformed 
image. Exercise adequate caution before deleting a 
file.
- Since two images are recorded with each shot, the 
number of shots remaining is approximately half the 
number displayed when this function is set to [Off].

Raise the ISO speed to use a fast shutter speed when you wish to 
reduce the effects of camera shake or avoid blurry subjects, or to 
turn the flash off when shooting in a dark area.
The camera automatically applies noise reduction processing 
when you shoot at a high ISO speed. 
Adjusting the ISO Speed
Shooting Mode 
1FUNC. Menu * (ISO Speed).
See Menus and Settings (p. 22).
*Default setting.
zUse the   or   button to select an 
ISO speed and press the FUNC./
SET button.
zSelecting [AUTO] sets the optimal 
ISO speed according to the light 
level when shooting. Since the ISO speed setting will auto-
matically be raised in dark places, the camera will select a 
faster shutter speed and reduce the chances of camera 
shake.
zSelecting [HI]* sets the sensitivity to a higher value than the 
[AUTO] setting. This sets the shutter speed faster, reducing 
the potential for camera shake or blurry subjects compared 
with the [AUTO] setting. 
* Noise in the recorded image may be higher than for the 
[AUTO] setting.
zWhen in   (Auto) shooting mode, only [AUTO] or [HI] can 
be selected.

Your camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that 
detects the orientation of an image shot with the camera held 
vertically and automatically rotates it to the correct orientation when 
viewing it in the LCD monitor.
zWhen the camera is held vertically to shoot, the Intelligent 
Orientation sensor judges the upper end to be up and the 
lower end to be down. It then regulates the optimal white 
balance, exposure and focus for vertical photography. This 
function operates regardless of the on/off status of the Auto 
Rotate function.
Setting the Auto Rotate Function

tion is set to [On] and the [Shooting 
Info] is set to [On],   (normal),   
(right end is down) or   (left end is 
down) will appear in the display.
zThis function may not operate correctly when the camera is 
pointed straight up or down. Check that the arrow   is 
pointing in the right direction and if it is not, then set the 
Auto Rotate function to [Off].
zEven if the Auto Rotate function is set to [On], the 
orientation of images downloaded to a computer will 
depend upon the software used to download the images.

A number one higher than the last one recorded is 
assigned to the next image. This is convenient for 
managing all your images together on a computer 
because you avoid file name duplication when changing 
folders or memory cards.*
* When a blank memory card is used. If a memory card with 
recorded data is used, the 7-digit number for the last recorded 
folder and image is compared with the last one on the card, and 
the larger of the two is utilized as the basis for new images.

The folder and image number are reset to the starting 
value (100-0001).* This is convenient for managing 
images on a folder-by-folder basis.

File and Folder Numbers
Recorded images are assigned consecutive file numbers starting 
with 0001 and ranging up to 9999, while folders are assigned 
numbers starting with 100 and ranging up to 999. Up to 2,000 
images can be saved into a single folder. 
zImages may be saved to a new folder when there is insufficient 
free space even if the total number of images in a folder is less 
than 2,000 because the following types of image are always 
saved together into the same folder.
- Images from continuous shooting
- Self-timer images (custom)
- Stitch Assist mode images
- Still images shot in Color Accent/Color Swap mode with the 
[Save Original] category set to [On]
zImages cannot be played back when the folder numbers are 
duplicated or image numbers are duplicated within folders.
zPlease refer to the Software Starter Guide for information 
regarding folder structures or image types.
