Getting to know your camera better
• With [ESP/n] set to [n], the picture can be taken based on the brightness at the
center of the monitor without being affected by the light in the background.
g “ESP/n Changing the area for measuring the brightness of a subject” (P. 20)
• Set the flash to [#] to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against backlight without
the face of the subject appearing dark. [#] is effective for shooting against backlight and
under fluorescent and other artificial lightening.
g “3# button Flash shooting” (P. 13)
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.
