AF-ASSIST ILLUMINATOR
Press the shutter button down halfway in dimly lit
conditions. The camera fires the AF-assist
illuminator (green) to allow easier focusing.
Note that the effective range decreases for
telephoto shots.
!
The camera focuses most easily when a picture is taken at a
distance of around 1.7 m (5.6 ft.) with wide-angle zoom
setting.
!
See P.86 for information on turning the AF-assist illuminator
off.
Frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire AF
(Auto Focus) frame. When a picture is taken at a
distance of approx. 0.6 m to 1.5 m (2.0 ft. to 4.9 ft.)
using the viewfinder, only the shaded area in the
figure is photographed.
To take pictures using the viewfinder, press the
“DISP (BACK)” button to turn the LCD monitor off.
Turning the LCD monitor off conserves battery
power.
!
The viewfinder cannot be used to take shots in Macro mode.
!
For more precise shot framing, use the LCD monitor to take
the picture.
!
When the zoom is set to wide-angle, the end of the lens may
be visible in the viewfinder. This is normal and is not recorded
in the shot.

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the
camera with both hands. Position of your right
thumb so that it is handy for using the zoom.
!
Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture
(camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera shake,
particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash
mode is Suppressed flash.

Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card
The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The larger the
xD-Picture Card capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also,
the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may
remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.
