There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.

• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the magnification, the 

grainier the picture appears.

• When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of unwanted color or 

unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the picture a grainy appearance. This camera 
is equipped with a function to allow shooting at high sensitivity while suppressing noise; however, 
increasing the ISO sensitivity can result in some noise, depending on the shooting conditions.

g “ISO Changing the ISO sensitivity” (P. 23)

• The reason why there are sometimes differences between the actual colors and the colors recorded 

in a picture is related to the light source illuminating the subject. [WB] is the function that helps the 
camera determine the true colors. Normally, the [AUTO] setting provides the optimal white balance, 
but depending on the subject, results may be better if you manually adjust the [WB] setting.

• When the subject is in the shade on a sunny day
• When the subject is illuminated by both natural light and indoor lighting, such as when 

near a window

• When there is no white in the center of the frame

g “WB Adjusting the color of a picture” (P. 22)

• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting OF 

toward [+] makes the subject closer to their real shades. Conversely, when you are shooting dark 
subjects, it can be effective to adjust toward [–]. Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the 
brightness (exposure) that was intended.

g “OF/< button Changing picture brightness (Exposure compensation)/Printing pictures” (P. 15)

• Set the flash to [

#] (fill-in) to activate fill-in-flash. You can shoot a subject against backlight without 

the face of the subject appearing dark. [

#] is effective not only for shooting against backlight, but 

also for shooting under fluorescent and other artificial lightening.

g “Y# button Flash shooting” (P. 15)

• Selecting a [+] exposure value with OF is useful in shooting a subject against backlight.

g “OF/< button Changing picture brightness (Exposure compensation)/Printing pictures” (P. 15)

• When [AF MODE] is set to [FACE DETECT], the camera determines the exposure by metering a 

face and the face in the picture taken will appear brighter even in backlight conditions.

g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 24)

There are two ways to record the pictures you take with this camera.

• Pictures are recorded to the internal memory, and when the number of storable still pictures 

reaches 0, you connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures; and then erase the 
pictures from the internal memory.

• Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is full, you can 

download the pictures to a computer and then either erase the pictures from the card or use a new 
card.

• Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the camera. Pictures in 

the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function.
