Inserting a Memory Card

3 Cautions

• Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or

deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

• Format memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer

or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 102.

• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card,

seek medical assistance immediately.

• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject

normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly

remove the card.

• Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.

• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card. Use a y card or better when

shooting HD movies.

• Formatting a memory card in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do not rename or delete

this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image files. Always use the camera to

delete pictures from memory cards; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or re-

name the copies, not the originals.

• Subjects photographed through a window or other

reflective object.

• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than

reflect light, such as hair or fur.

• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.

• Subjects that show little contrast with the back-

ground (for example, subjects in clothing that is the

same color as the background).

• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-

contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for

example, a subject photographed against a back-

drop of highly contrasting elements).

FMacro and Super Macro Modes (Close-ups)

For close-ups, press the selector left (F) to choose from the macro options shown below.

Choose from F(macro mode),

G(super macro mode), or

OFF (macro mode off)

When macro mode is in effect, the camera focuses on subjects near the center of the frame. Use the

zoom control to compose pictures. In super macro mode, zoom can not be adjusted and the flash can

not be used.

1Notes

• Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur caused by camera shake.

• Flash compensation may be required when using the flash (pg. 85).

• Using the flash at close range may cast a lens shadow. Zoom a little or have more distance from the subject.

NUsing the Flash (Intelligent Flash)

When the flash is used, the camera’s Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based on

such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the camera.

Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed while

preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the flash

when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.

Raise the flash.

Press the flash pop-up button to raise the flash.

Turning the Flash Off

Lower the flash where flash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting

under dim light. At slow shutter speeds, kwill be displayed to warn that pictures

may be blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.

Choose a flash mode.

Press the selector right (N). The flash mode changes each time the selector

is pressed.

A/K

(AUTO FLASH)

Descrippttion

N/L

The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural

(FORCED FLASH) coloration when shooting in bright light.

O/M

Capture both the main subject and the background under low light (note that

(SLOW SYNCHRO) brightly lit scenes may be overexposed).

NUsing the Flash (Intelligent Flash)

Focus.

Press the shutter button halfway to focus. If the flash will fire, pwill be displayed when

the shutter button is pressed halfway. At slow shutter speeds, k will appear in the

display to warn that pictures may be blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.

Shoot.

Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to shoot.

3 Caution

The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is com-

plete.

1Note

The peripheral part of an image may be dark when using the flash.

Red-Eye Removal

When Intelligent Face Detection is active (pg. 31), and ON is selected for B RED EYE REMOVAL in

the setup menu (pg. 91), red-eye removal is available in K, L, and M.

Red-eye removal minimizes “red-eye” caused when light from the flash is reflected from the subject’s

retinas as shown in the illustration at right.

J Using the Self-Timer

The camera offers a ten-second timer that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs,

and a two-second timer that can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter

button is pressed. The self-timer is available in all shooting modes.

Set the timer.

Press the selector down (h), and then press the selector left or right to highlight an option and

press MENU/OK.

Choose from

OFF (self-timer off),

OFF

S(10 s delay), or

Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to start the tim-

er. The display shows the number of seconds remaining until the

shutter is released. To stop the timer before the picture is taken,

press DISP/BACK.

J Using the Self-Timer

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink

immediately before the picture is taken. If the two-second

timer is selected, the self-timer lamp will blink as the timer

counts down.

Intelligent Face Detection

Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 31) is recom-

mended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with Intelligent Face

Detection, select S10 SEC or R2 SEC in the self-timer menu and then press the shutter button all the way

down to start the timer. The camera will detect faces while the timer is counting down and adjust focus and ex-

posure immediately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to move until the picture has been recorded.

1Note

The self-timer turns off automatically when the picture is taken, a different shooting mode is selected, playback

mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.

3 Cautions

Disconnecting the Camera

• If a memory card containing a large number of images

is inserted, there may be a delay before the software

starts and you may be unable to import or save im-

ages. Use a memory card reader to transfer pictures.

• Make sure that the computer does not display a mes-

sage stating that copying is in progress and that the

indicator lamp is out before turning the camera off or

disconnecting the USB cable (if the number of imag-

es copied is very large, the indicator lamp may remain

lit after the message has cleared from the computer

display). Failure to observe this precaution could re-

sult in loss of data or damage to the memory card.

• Disconnect the camera before inserting or removing

memory cards.

• In some cases, it may not be possible to access pictures

saved to a network server using the supplied software

in the same way as on a standalone computer.

• The user bears all applicable fees charged by the

phone company or Internet service provider when

using services that require an Internet connection.

After confirming that the indicator lamp is out, follow

the on-screen instructions to turn the camera off and

disconnect the USB cable.

Uninstalling the Supplied Software

Only uninstall the supplied software when it is no lon-

ger required or before beginning reinstallation. After

quitting the software and disconnecting the camera,

drag the “FinePixViewer” folder from “Applications”

into the Trash and select Empty Trash in the Finder

menu (Macintosh), or open the control panel and use

“Programs and Features” (Windows 7/Windows Vista)

or “Add or Remove Programs” (Windows XP) to unin-

stall MyFinePix Studio. Under Windows, one or more

confirmation dialogs may be displayed; read the con-

tents carefully before clicking OK.

S FACE RECOGNITION

Select AUTO REGISTRATION from S FACE

RECOGNITION and set it to ON. After shooting

the same face several times with 3 FACE DE-

TECTION turned on, the camera automatically

recognizes the face.

• Up to 8 people’s information can be registered.

• When 8 people’s information has already been reg-

istered, AUTO REGISTRATION does not function.

• If the camera detects two or more faces registered

by S FACE RECOGNITION, a green border and

orange border(s) will be displayed on the faces

when to shoot. A registered name will appear only

on the face with the green border. White borders

will be displayed on faces which have not been

registered. When no name has been registered,

“---” is displayed.

• S FACE RECOGNITION may not function in the

following:

- the subject does not face front.

- the face is not positioned within a frame.

- the feature of the face varies (because of age or

expression).

ANotes

• When the camera recognizes a face that has been

shot many times, the message REGISTER THIS PER-

SON? appears. Press MENU/OK to display PERSONAL

INFO so that you can register the face and its per-

sonal information.

• Using only AUTO REGISTRATION may be difficult to

recognize a face. In that case, register a face and its

personal information from REGISTER.

- the subject is in back-lit or poorly light.
