Image Size Selection Tips
Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be 
stored, see page 137.
• For information about movie image size, see page 65.
• For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 75.
Large Number 
of PixelsMore detail, but takes up more memory. Best 
when you plan to print large-size prints (such 
as A3 size).
Small Number 
of PixelsLess detail, but takes up less memory. Best 
when you want to send images by e-mail, 
etc.

.To select the image size
1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
2.Use [8] and [2] to select the top Control Panel option (Image Size).
3.Use [4] and [6] to select an image size and then press [SET].
• The initial factory default image size setting is “12M”.
• Selecting “3:2” records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the 
standard aspect ratio of print paper.
• The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has an 
aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of 
television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible 
with the aspect ratio an HDTV screen.
• You should regard the print paper sizes suggested here as guidelines only (200 dpi 
print resolution).

1.In the REC mode, press [2] ( ) to 
select the flash setting you want.
Each press of [2] ( ) cycles through 
the available flash settings.

Using Flash (Flash)
 Auto FlashFlash fires automatically in accordance with exposure 
(amount of light and brightness) conditions.
 Flash OffFlash does not fire.
 Flash OnFlash always fires. This setting can be used to brighten a 
subject that normally comes out dark due to daylight or 
backlight (daylight synchro flash).
 Red EyeFlash fires automatically. This type of flash can be used to 
reduce the chance of redness in the subject’s eyes.
Back lamp
Flashes orange while the flash is charging to 
indicate that image recording is disabled.
• You will not be able to take another flash 
snapshot until the lamp stops flashing orange, 
which indicates that charging is complete.

NOTE
• Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.
• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too close.
• Flash charging time (page 140) depends  on operating conditions (battery 
condition, ambient temperature, etc.)
• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting  is dim results in a slow shutter speed, 
which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions, 
secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
• With red eye reduction, the flash is fi red automatically in accordance with 
exposure. It does not fire in  areas where lighting is bright.
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent  lighting, or some other light source 
can cause abnormal image colors.
• Select  ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting  when shooting in areas where flash 
photography is prohibited.
Red-eye Reduction
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a  dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the 
eyes of people who are in the image. This  is caused when the light from the flash 
reflects off of the retina of the eye. When  red-eye reduction is selected as the flash 
mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause  the irises in the eyes of any people in the 
image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye.
Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction. • Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking 
directly at the camera (flash).
• Red-eye reduction may not work very well  if the subjects are located far away from 
the camera.

• Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when 
shooting with face detection.
• Face detection may take a bit longer when you hold the camera sideways.
• Detection of the following types of faces is not supported.
– Face that is obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, etc., or a face in dark shade
– A profile or a face that is at an angle
– A face that is very far away and small, or very close and large

3.Use [4] and [6] to select the shooting condition you want and then 
press [SET].
• When “‡ Auto WB” is selected for the white balance setting, the camera 
automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors 
and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to 
determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment 
impossible. If this happens, select the white balance setting that matches your 
shooting conditions (Daylight, Overcast, etc.)

You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.
• Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0EV to +2.0EV
• Unit: 1/3EV
1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
2.Use [8] and [2] to select the third Control Panel option from the 
bottom (EV Shift).
3.Use [4] and [6] to adjust the exposure compensation value.
To cancel exposure compensation, change 
the EV value to 0.0.
4.Press [SET].
This applies the exposure compensation 
value. The exposure compensation value you 
set remains in effect until you change it or turn 
off the camera (which causes it to revert to “0.0”).
NOTE
• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to 
obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.
Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift) 
[6]: Increases the EV value. A higher EV 
value is best for light-colored subjects 
and backlit subjects.
[4]: Decreases the EV value. A lower EV 
value is best for dark-color subjects and 
for shooting outdoors on a clear day.
