Inserting/Removing Cards  
- About 2 MB of memory are built into this camera as recording media for  
image data, and other information, such as date and time, so even without a  
card inserted, the camera can record in an emergency. If you wish to use an  
aftermarket card, any of the following are appropriate:SD Memory Card, Multi-  
Media Card, Memory Stick. (All three will be called cardhereafter.)  
- First, turn OFF the main switch (lens cover closed), make sure the LCD monitor  
is OFF and turn off all power. If power is ON, damage may occur to the card or  
to the camera itself.  
Inserting a Card  
1. Open the battery/card cover.

the knocked out part first into the slot and push in until a click is heard.  
Take care that the card is inserted facing the right way. If the card is forcefully  
inserted facing the wrong way, it will damage the connector.  
There are two card slots. When a SD Memory card or MultiMedia Card are used,  
insert them in the slot at the back of the camera, and if a Memory Stick is used,  
insert it in the slot toward the front.  
3. Close the battery/card cover.

This may suggest that the focusing on the subject is difficult, and/or the  
subject is too dark. Should this be the case, please take the following steps.  
Make sure that the camera is not too close to the subject, then align the  
subject to the auto-focus mark in the center of the viewfinder. (For the  
shooting distance, see page 31.)  
If the subject is too dark (such as a person in the shade), use the flash  
(pp.37-39).

About White Balance  
The human eye has the ability to compensate so that it sees white subjects  
as white, whatever the light source. Digital cameras and similar devices can  
also seewhite subjects as white by first adjusting the colour balance of the  
ambient light to match the photo subject.This adjustment is called the White  
Balance.

Center-weighted metering  
In this mode the camera sets the exposure according to the metering for the  
central part of the whole frame. It is ideal for taking photos where the brightness  
of the subject in the center of the frame is desired.  
Spot metering  
In spot metering the camera measures the light of just the subject in the center of  
the frame, and sets the exposure to it.This mode is ideal when the background of  
the picture is brighter than the subject, or there is a great deal of contrast between  
the two, as the camera allows you to take the photo with the exposure set to the  
brightness of your desired subject.
