setting is not used during video output (from the USB/AV port) 
(page 156).
Specifying the File Name Serial Number Generation Rule 
(File No.)
ContinueTells the camera to remember the last used file number. A new file will 
be named using the next sequential number, even if files are deleted or 
if a blank memory card is loaded. If a memory card is loaded and that 
card already has files stored on it and the largest sequential number in 
the existing file names is greater than the largest sequential number 
remembered by the camera, numbering of new files will start from the 
largest sequential number in the memory card file names plus 1.
ResetRestarts the serial number from 0001 whenever all files are deleted or 
when the memory card is replaced with a blank one. If a memory card 
is loaded and that card already has files stored on it, numbering of new 
files will start from the largest sequential number in the memory card 
file names plus 1.

Procedure
[MENU] * Set Up Tab * World Time
You can use the World Time screen to view the current time in a zone that is different 
from your Home City when you go on a trip, etc. World Time displays the current time 
in 162 cities in 32 time zones around the globe.
1.Use [8] and [2] to select “World” and then press [6].
• To change the geographic area and city for the time where you normally use 
the camera, select “Home”.
2.Use [8] and [2] to select “City” and then press [6].
• To change the “World” setting to summer time, use [8] and [2] to select 
“DST” and then select “On”. Summer time is used in some geographical areas 
to advance the current time setting by one hour during the summer months.
3.Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select the geographic area you want and 
then press [SET].
4.Use [8] and [2] to select the city you want and then press [SET].
5.Press [SET].
IMPORTANT!
• Before configuring World Time settings, make sure that the Home City setting is 
the place where you live or normally use the camera. If it isn’t, select “Home” on the

Procedure
[MENU] * Set Up Tab * Timestamp
You can configure the camera to stamp the recording date only, or date and time in 
the lower right corner of each snapshot.
• Once date and time information is stamped into a snapshot, it cannot be edited or 
deleted.
Example: December 30, 2009, 1:25 p.m.
• Even if you do not stamp the date and/or time with Timestamp, you can do so later 
using the DPOF function or some printing application (page 128).
• Stamping is performed in accordance with the date and time settings (page 153) 
and the display style settings (page 154).
Procedure
[MENU] * Set Up Tab * Adjust
When the date and time settings are what you want, select “Apply” and then press 
[SET] to apply them.
• You can specify a date from 2001 to 2049.
• Be sure to select your Home City (page 152) before setting the time and date. If 
you set the time and date while the wrong city is selected for your Home City, the 
times and dates of all of the World Time cities (page 152) will be wrong.

If a memory card is loaded in the camera, this operation will format the memory card. 
It will format built-in memory if no memory card is loaded.
• The format operation will delete all contents on the memory card or in built-in 
memory. It cannot be undone. Make sure you do not need any data currently on 
the card or in built-in memory before you format it.
• Formatting built-in memory will delete the following data.
– Protected images
– BEST SHOT user setups
– Startup screen
• Formatting a memory card will delete the following data.

Configuring Monitor Screen Settings
Each press of [8] (DISP) will cycle through display settings that display or hide on-
screen information and the control panel. You can configure separate settings for the 
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• The control panel is not displayed and display information settings cannot be 
changed during movie recording.
Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you can use to 
check the exposure of an image before you shoot it. You also can 
display the histogram in the PLAY mode for information about the 
exposure levels of images.
NOTE
• A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The 
recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its 
histogram is centered.
• Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve 
an optimum histogram configuration.
• Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to 
indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is 
shot.
• The histogram cannot be displayed during high speed movie recording.

							160Configuring Monitor Screen Settings
A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the 
number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal 
axis indicates lightness. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you 
can use EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum 
exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph is as close to the center as 
possible. For snapshots, you can even display individual histograms for R (red), G 
(green), and B (blue).
Example Histograms
How to Use the Histogram
A histogram towards the left side results when the 
overall image is dark. A histogram that is too far to 
the left may result in “black out” of the dark areas 
of an image. 
A histogram towards the right side results when 
the overall image is light. A histogram that is too 
far to the right may result in “white out” of the light 
areas of an image. 
An overall well-balanced histogram results when 
the overall image is at optimal lightness.
