completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory  
card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as  
physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.

Shooting with Commonly  
Used Functions  
This chapter explains how to shoot in diffent conditions, as well as  
how to use common functions, such as thelf-timer.  
This chapter assumes the camera is set to A mode for “Zooming in  
More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom)” (p. 54) to “Using the Self-Timer”  
(p. 57). When shooting in a mode other than A, check which functions  
are available in that mode (pp. 162 – 163).  
“Shooting in Various Conditions” (p. 58) to “Take Shots That Look Like a  
Miniature Model (Miniature Effect)” (p. 66) assumes that the corresponding  
mode has been chosen.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download5. 3  
   
Zooming in More Closely on Subjects  
(Digital Zoom)  
You can use the digital zoom to zoom up to a maximum of approximately 48x  
and capture subjects that are too far away for the optical zoom to enlarge. The  
images may appear coarse, however, depending on the recording pixel  
setting (p. 70) and the zoom factor used.  
Move the zoom lever toward i.  
Hold the lever until zooming stops.  
X The zoom will stop when the largest  
possible zoom factor without image  
deterioration has been reached, and the  
zoom factor will appear when you release  
the zoom lever.  
Zoom Factor  
Move iward i again.  
X The oom wzoom in even further  
the ject.  
What if the zoom factor appears in blue?  
Images shot at zoom factors that appear in blue will be coarse.  
Turning off the digital zoom  
To turn off the digital zoom, press the n button to choose [Digital Zoom] in  
the 4 tab, then choose [Off].  
The focal length when using the optical zoom and digital zoom together is  
28 (W) – 1344 (T) mm, and 28 (W) – 336 (T) mm when using the optical  
zoom alone (all focal lengths are 35mm film equivalent).

Zooming in More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom)  
Digital Tele-Converter  
The focal length of the lens can be increased by approximately 1.5x or  
approximately 2.0x. This enables a faster shutter speed and less chance of  
camera shake than the zoom (including digital zoom) used by itself at the  
same zoom factor. The images may appear coarse, however, depending on  
the combination of recording pixel (p. 70) and digital tele-converter settings  
used.

When shooting, the camera detects if it is held vertically or horizontally, and adjusts  
settings accordingly for the best shot. It also detects orientation during playback, so you  
can hold the camera in either orientation and it will automatically rotate images for  
correct viewing.  
This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or down.

Handling Precautions  
This camera is a high-precision electronic device. Do not drop it or subject  
it to strong impacts.  
Never place the camera close to magnets, motors or other devices that  
generate strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields  
may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.  
If water droplets or dirt become stuck on the camera or screen, wipe with  
a dry soft cloth or eyeglass wiper. Do not rub or apply force.  
Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to wipe the camera or  
screen.
