The Print set option in the playback menu is used to create digital “print orders” 
for printing on DPOF-compatible devices (A133). 
When the camera is connected to a PictBridge-compatible printer, pictures can be 
printed from the printer according to the DPOF print order you have created for 
pictures on the memory card. If the memory card is removed from the camera, you 
can create the DPOF print order for pictures in the internal memory and print 
pictures according to the DPOF print order.

A Image Mode
Choose an image mode, which is the combination of image size and image quality 
(compression), according to how you plan to use the picture and the capacity of 
the internal memory or memory card. The larger the image, the larger the size at 
which it can be printed or displayed without becoming noticeably “grainy,” 
limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.
The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor in shooting and 
playback modes (A6, 7).
CImage Mode
Changes made to the image mode setting apply to all shooting modes (except those available from 
the movie menu).

CThe Number of Exposures Remaining
The following table lists the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory 
and on a 256 MB memory card. Note that the number of pictures that can be stored will differ 
depending on the composition of the picture (due to JPEG compression). In addition, this number 
may differ depending on the make of memory card, even if the capacity for the memory card is the 
same.
1If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposure 
remaining display shows 9999.
2Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi. Print sizes are calculated by dividing the 
number of pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, at 
the same image size, pictures printed at higher resolutions will print smaller than the size 
indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions will print larger than the size indicated.

B White Balance
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. 
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with 
the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct 
sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this 
adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is 
known as “white balance.” For natural coloration, choose a white balance setting 
that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto, 
can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting 
suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings 
other than Auto, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).
BFlash Mode
At white-balance settings other than Auto or Flash, turn the flash off (W) (A30).
aAuto (default setting)
White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in 
most situations.
bPreset manual
Neutral-colored object used as reference to set white balance under unusual 
lighting conditions, see “Preset Manual” (A86) for details.
cDaylight
White balance adjusted for direct sunlight.
dIncandescent
Use under incandescent lighting.
eFluorescent
Use under most types of fluorescent lighting.
fCloudy
Use when shooting under overcast skies.
gFlash
Use with the flash.

Preset Manual
Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with 
a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red 
shade look as though they had been taken under white light).

used during shooting.
2Use the rotary multi selector to choose 
bPreset manual in the white balance menu, 
and press the k button.
The camera zooms in.
3Choose Measure.
To apply the most recently measured value for preset 
manual, choose Cancel and press the k button.
4Frame the reference object.
5Press the k button to measure the white balance value.
The shutter is released and the new white-balance value is set.
No pictures are recorded.
CNote on Preset Manual
Regardless of the flash mode selected, the flash will not fire when the k button is pressed in step 5. 
Therefore, the camera cannot measure a value for preset manual for when the flash is used.

shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.
USingle (default setting)
One picture is taken each time shutter-release button is pressed.
VContinuous
While the shutter-release button is held down, pictures are taken at rate of up to 
about 1.0 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to i Normal (3648). 
Shooting ends when the shutter-release button is released, or ten shots have been 
taken with the shutter-release button held down.
jBSS
BSS is recommended for shooting under low lighting without the flash, with the 
camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which camera shake is likely to blur 
pictures. 
The camera takes up to ten pictures while the shutter-release button is held down. 
The sharpest picture (picture with the most detail) in the series is automatically 
selected and saved.
