Basic Photography The Built-in Speedlight In mode, the built-in Speedlight will pop up automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway if additional light is required for correct exposure. Do not place your fingers where they will obstruct the built-in Speedlight. If the Speedlight is prevented from popping up when the shutterrelease button is pressed halfway, a message will be displayed ( 150). Do not attempt to raise the Speedlight by hand. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the Speedlight. To lower the Speedlight, gently press it straight down until it clicks into place. Do not apply force to the front, back, or sides. Digital Zoom ( 102) In digital zoom, data from the camera's image sensor are processed digitally, enlarging the center portion of the picture to fill the frame. Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of detail visible in the picture. Instead, details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly "grainy" image. Vibration reduction (VR) will not produce the desired results with digital zoom, but is effective at reducing the effects of camera shake at when used with optical zoom. When Lighting Is Poor When lighting is poor, the image in the display is processed to compensate and some mottling may occur. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Viewfinder Focus If the image in the electronic viewfinder seems blurred, rotate the diopter adjustment control until the image is in sharp focus. When operating the diopter control with your eye to the viewfinder, care should be taken to avoid accidentally putting your finger in your eye. Display Lag The image from the camera CCD must be processed before it can be displayed in the monitor or electronic viewfinder, resulting in a slight lag between the movement of the subject and the image in the display. This lag can be reduced by selecting Quick response for the Monitor options > Shutter release speed option in the setup menu ( 133). 19

The Built-in Speedlight
In
mode, the built-in Speedlight will pop up automatically
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway if addi-
tional light is required for correct exposure.
Do not place your
fingers where they will obstruct the built-in Speedlight.
If the
Speedlight is prevented from popping up when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway, a message will be displayed
(
150).
Do not attempt to raise the Speedlight by hand.
Failure to observe this precaution
could result in damage to the Speedlight.
To lower the Speedlight, gently press it
straight down until it clicks into place.
Do not apply force to the front, back, or sides.

When Lighting Is Poor
When lighting is poor, the image in the display is processed to compensate and some
mottling may occur.
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Viewfinder Focus
If the image in the electronic viewfinder seems blurred, rotate
the diopter adjustment control until the image is in sharp fo-
cus.
When operating the diopter control with your eye to the
viewfinder, care should be taken to avoid accidentally putting
your finger in your eye.

The image from the camera CCD must be processed before it can be displayed in the
monitor or electronic viewfinder, resulting in a slight lag between the movement of
the subject and the image in the display.
This lag can be reduced by selecting
