Getting to know your camera better
• It is effective to set the exposure compensation to [+] by pressing 1F when shooting
against strong backlighting.
g “1F button Changing picture brightness (Exposure Compensation)” (P. 16)
• Adjusting exposure of person’s face by setting [AF MODE] to [FACE DETECT] makes the
subject’s face appear brighter even against strong backlighting.
g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 25)
There are two ways to record the pictures you take with this camera.
Recording pictures to the internal memory
• Pictures are recorded to the internal memory, and when the number of storable still pictures
reaches 0, you must connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures, and then
erase the pictures from the internal memory.
Using a card (optional)
• Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is full, you
download the pictures to a computer, and then either erase the pictures from the card or use
a new card.
• Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the camera.
Pictures in the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function.
