About the Electronic Level

When [ Level Setting] is turned on in the setup menu or by pressing and holding the DISP. button, the camera uses a level indicator and level sound to let you know whether the image is level during shooting. The level indicator is displayed during normal symbol display and histogram display.

This is useful for keeping the image level when taking pictures of scenery or buildings. This is also very useful for taking pictures with the horizon visible.

When the camera is held vertically:

When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function can be used to determine whether the image is vertically level (the level indicator appears in a different place).

Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off

(

G

P.40), the level sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed.

When [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound], only the level sound is emitted.

• The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when recording movies, and during interval shooting.

• The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.

• No level sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound] or

[Sound] and [Volume Settings] is set to [ ] (Mute) (

G

P.100).

• Use this function as a reference to see if images are level when shooting images. The accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be guaranteed.

43

About the Histogram Display

When Histogram is on, a histogram appears in the lower right corner on the picture display. A histogram is a graph indicating the number of pixels on the vertical axis and the brightness on the horizontal axis (from left to right, shadows

(dark areas), midtones, and highlights

(bright areas)).

By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an image without being affected by the brightness around the picture display.

This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright or dark.

If the histogram has only peaks on the right side, this picture is overexposed with too many pixels only for highlight sections.

If the histogram has only peaks on the left side without anything else, this picture is underexposed with too many pixels only for shadow sections. Refer to this histogram when correcting the exposure.

44

• The histogram displayed on the picture display is for reference only.

• After taking a picture, you can correct its brightness and contrast by making adjustments to the histogram (

G

P.92).

• Depending on the shooting conditions (use of the flash, dark surrounding light, etc.), the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the brightness of the shot image.

• Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the best possible result.

• A histogram with peaks in the center may not necessarily provide the best result to suit your particular requirements. For example, an adjustment is required if you want to underexpose or overexpose the image.

• For information on how to correct the exposure compensation, see P.82.

Cautions on Use

Cautions on Use

• This product was manufactured for use in the country in which it was purchased. The warranty is only valid in the country in which the camera was purchased.

• Should the product fail or malfunction while you are abroad, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or bearing the expenditure incurred therefore.

• Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.

• While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other objects. Take special care to not hit the lens and picture display.

• Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it consecutively more than necessary.

• Do not touch the flash and keep foreign objects away from the firing unit.

Doing so can cause burns and fires.

• Do not fire the flash near eyes. It could cause visual impairment (particularly for infants).

• Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.

• The battery may become hot after extended use. Touching the battery immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.

• If the picture display or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become washed out and images may become hard to view.

• The picture display and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.

• Do not forcefully press the surface of the picture display.

• In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased to a fairly small amount. If condensation occurs, remove the battery and memory card, and wait until the moisture has dried before using the camera.

• To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera’s microphone or speaker holes.

• Do not get the camera wet. Do not operate the camera with wet hands. This can result in malfunction or an electrical shock.

• Before taking any important pictures (such as at weddings, on trips abroad, etc.), test the camera to check operation and ensure proper functioning. We recommend that you keep this manual and spare battery on hand.

136

Conditions in which condensation may easily occur: -----------------------
