Your images will not come out clearly if you move the camera when you press the 
shutter button. When pressing the shutter button, be sure to hold the camera as 
shown in the illustration below, and keep it still by pressing your arms firmly against 
your sides as you shoot.
Holding the camera still, carefully press the shutter button and take care to avoid all 
movement as the shutter releases and for a few moments after it releases. This is 
especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter 
speed.
NOTE
• Take care that your fingers and the 
strap do not cover any of the areas 
indicated in the illustration.
• To protect against accidentally 
dropping the camera, attach the 
wrist strap and make sure it is 
around your fingers or wrist while 
you are operating the camera.
• Never swing the camera around by 
its strap.
• The supplied strap is intended for 
use with this camera only. Never 
use it for any other purpose.

.If the image does not focus...
If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the 
image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.). Re-point the camera at 
the subject and try to focus again.
.If the subject is not in the center of the frame...
“Focus lock” (page 56) is the name of a technique you can use when you want to 
shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in 
the center of the screen.
.To track the movement of a moving subject
Half-press the shutter button to follow and focus automatically on a moving subject. 
See “O Tracking” (page 60) for more information.

Operation
• Never open the battery cover while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can 
result in the image you just shot being saved incorrectly, damage to other images 
stored in memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.
• If unwanted light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand 
when shooting an image.
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots
• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can 
cause digital noise in the monitor screen image.
• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual 
image will be recorded at the quality set for the image quality setting (page 64).
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an 
image.
• Any of the following can make proper focus impossible.
– Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject
– Strongly back lit subject
– Very shiny subject
– Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern
– Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera
– Subject in a dark location
– Camera movement while shooting
– Fast-moving subject
– Subjects outside the focus range of the camera
• If you cannot focus properly, try using focus lock (page 56) or Manual Focus (page 
54).

.Pixels
A digital camera image is a collection of small 
dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are 
in an image, the more detail there will be. 
However, you generally can do with fewer 
pixels when printing an image (L size) through 
a print service, attaching an image to e-mail, 
when viewing the image on a computer, etc.
.About image sizes
The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and is expressed as 
horizontal pixelsxvertical pixels.
Changing the Image Size (Size)
