Using the Histogram
Number of pixels→

A histogram shows the brightness
distribution of an image. The
horizontal axis indicates thebrightness (dark at the left and brightat the right) and the vertical axis
indicates the corresponding number(Dark)←Brightness→(Bright)of pixels.
Underexposed Overexposed
The shape and distribution of the
portions
portions
histogram before and after shooting
tell you whether the exposure level
and contrast are correct or not, and let you decide if you need to adjust
the exposure and take a picture again.

To Adjust the Exposure 1p.95
Compensating for Brightness (D-Range Setting) 1p.104

Understanding Brightness
If the image is normal in brightness with no extremely bright or dark
portions, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is underexposed,
the peak is on the left side, and if it is overexposed, the peak is on theright side.

Dark image

Image with few brightor dark areas

Bright image

When the image is underexposed, the part to the left is cut off (darkportions) and when the image is overexposed, the part to the right is cut
off (bright portions).
This camera can warn for bright portions by red flashing in shooting andin playback.

If a color is partially cut off on one side, it indicates that the color is underor overexposed, that the light is very weak or strong in that color, or thatthe white balance is incorrect.

Electronic Level Indication
This camera is equipped with an electronic level for detecting whether
the camera is level.
When you set [Electronic Level] to O (On) with [LCD View Options] inthe [A Rec. Mode 3] menu, the electronic level is displayed in standard
display mode, showing tilt of the camera. Any tilt with respect to the levelis shown on the horizontal bar graph and any tilt with respect to theperpendicular is shown on the vertical bar graph. The amounts of tilt are
indicated with the marks and the colors of the bar graphs.
ExamplesHorizontally and vertically level (green)

Tilted to the right by 1° (yellow)
Vertically level (green)

Horizontally level (green)
Tilted upward by 5° (red)Difficult to gauge the horizontal tilt (red)Difficult to gauge the vertical tilt (red)The electronic level indication is provided as a guide. It does notguarantee the precise level.

Remove the battery from the battery charger whencharging is finished.

The time required to fully charge the battery is about 140 minutes (max.).
(The charging time may vary depending on the ambient temperature andcharging conditions.) The appropriate ambient temperature for charging
the battery is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

1
Getting Started• Do not use the supplied battery charger (D-BC106) to charge batteries
other than the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI106, as the battery
charger may overheat or be damaged.
• The battery has reached the end of its service life when it starts to run
down soon after being charged. Replace it with a new battery.
• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails tolight, the battery may be faulty. Replace it with a new battery.

Installing the Battery
Use the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI106 that is provided withthe camera. Charge the battery before using it in the camera for the firsttime.

• This camera uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI106. Use of
any other type of battery may damage the camera and cause a
malfunction.
• Do not remove the battery while the camera is turned on.
• When storing the battery for more than 6 months, charge the battery
for 30 minutes using the battery charger and store the battery
separately.
Be sure to recharge the battery every 6 to 12 months. Storing thebattery at or below room temperature is ideal. Avoid storing it at hightemperature.
• The date and time may be returned to the default setting if the camera
is left without the battery for a long time.

Installing an SD Memory Card

1
Getting Started

This camera uses a commercially available SD Memory Card, SDHC
Memory Card, or SDXC Memory Card. Captured images are saved on
the SD Memory Card when a card is inserted in the camera. They are
saved in the built-in memory when no card is inserted (p.47).
• Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory
Card that is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital
devices. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.171) for
instructions on formatting.
• When using a new Eye-Fi card for the first time, copy the installation
file of Eye-Fi Manager on the card to your computer before formatting
the card.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing
the SD Memory Card.
• The number of still pictures that can be stored and the movie
recordable time vary depending on the capacity of the SD Memory
Card, the selected number of recorded pixels, and the quality level, as
well as the frame rate (for movies).
- Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels for still picturesin the [A Rec. Mode 1] menu. Refer to “Setting the Recording File
Format” (p.97) for details.
- Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels and frame rate
for movies in the [C Movie 1] menu. Refer to “To Select the Number
of Recorded Pixels for Movies” (p.118) for details.
- For an approximate guide to the number of still pictures or the lengthof recorded movies that can be saved on an SD Memory Card or in
the built-in memory, see “Main Specifications” (p.224).
• The power lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being accessed(data is being recorded or read).

Backing Up Data
The camera may not be able to access data on the SD Memory Card or built-in
memory in the case of a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to backup important data in another location.

About the red-eye phenomenon
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in
the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash isreflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by increasing the illuminationin the area around the subject and/or decreasing the subject distance andadjusting the lens to wider angle setting. Setting the flash mode to D, F or
H is also an effective way of reducing red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be correctedby the Red-eye Edit function (p.153).

Expanding the Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio that indicates the light level expressedby the CMOS sensor pixels from bright areas to dark areas. The
larger it is, the better the whole range from dark to bright areas willappear in the picture.
By expanding the dynamic range, you can expand the light level
expressed by the CMOS sensor pixels, making it more difficult forbright areas or dark areas to occur in the image.
To expand the dynamic range, make the settings in [D-Range
Setting] in the [A Rec. Mode 2] menu (p.104).

A button.
The camera locks the exposure amount atthat instant.
@ appears on the display while AE Lock is
engaged.

• The exposure is also locked when the focus is locked. If you do notwant to lock the exposure when the focus is locked, set [1. AE-L with
AF Locked] (p.67) in the [A Custom 1] menu to [Off].

To Select the AE Metering Method
Choose the part of the sensor to use for measuring brightness anddetermining exposure. The following three methods are available.
The sensor meters the brightness in multiple different
zones. (Default setting)
Even in backlit locations, this mode automaticallydetermines what level of brightness is in which portion
and automatically adjusts exposure.

M

Center-weighted
metering

Metering is weighted at the center of the sensor.
The sensitivity increases at the center and no automatic
adjustment is performed even during backlit scenes.

Spot metering

The brightness is measured only within a limited area atthe center of the sensor.
You can use this in combination with the AE Lockfunction (p.96) when the subject is extremely small anda correct exposure is difficult to obtain.

The subject is notin focus.
The subject is not in

RemedyLock the focus on an object the same
distance away as the subject (bypressing and holding the shutter releasebutton halfway), then aim the camera atyour subject and press the shutter
release button fully (p.56). Or set thefocus manually (p.90).
Locate the desired subject in the focus
frame (focusing area) in the center of thedisplay. If it is difficult to do so, first lockthe focus on the desired subject (focuslock), and then move the camera torecompose. Or, use the Z (Select) mode
to take a picture with the focusing area
set on the subject you wish to focus on(p.93).

Very occasionally, static electricity may cause camera malfunction. In
this case, remove the batteies and install them again. If the camera isthen working properly, normal condition is restored and you can continue
using the camera.
