Viewing and Downloading Your Pictures Using a PC

Changing the Exposure

Your camera automatically adjusts the exposure of each picture to accommodate the current lighting conditions. You may want to manually adjust the exposure setting when using your camera in unusual lighting conditions; for example, when taking a picture of a person standing in front of a bright light source.

The camera’s Exposure preference setting lets you adjust the exposure from –2.0 to +2.0 in 0.5 increments.

To change the exposure level:

1Set the Mode switch to PREF.

2Turn the camera on.

3Press the 6 button until the Exposure menu tab is on top.

4Press the Select button to open the menu.

5Press the buttons below the arrows at the bottom of the LCD screen to decrease or increase the exposure setting.

6Press the Select button to activate the setting and exit the Exposure menu.

èThe exposure setting is automatically reset to 0.0

when the camera is turned off. To manually reset the camera back to the default, set the Exposure preference to 0.0.

Reformatting the Memory Card

Use the Reformat preference menu tab to erase all the data on your memory card and reformat it. This action will erase all files on your card, including locked pictures.

To reformat your memory card:

2Set the Mode switch to PREF.

3Press the 6 button until the Reformat menu tab is on top.

4Press the Select button to open the menu.

5If you are sure that you want to delete all the pictures (including locked pictures) from your memory card and reformat it, press the 6 button to highlight the Format Now menu option. If you don't want to reformat your card, highlight the Don't Format option.
