INTRODUCTION

Features

•4.0 million Effective Pixels

A high-resolution megapixel CCD provides 4.0 million

effective pixels (4.13 million total pixels) for images that

print beautifully.

•1.6-inch TFT color LCD monitor screen

•9.6X seamless zoom

3X optical zoom, 3.2X digital zoom

•10MB Flash memory

Images can be recorded without using a memory card.

•Support for SD memory cards and MMC (MultiMedia

Cards) for memory expansion

•Easy Image Transfer

Transfer images to a computer simply by connecting the

camera with a USB cable.

•Best Shot

Simply select the sample scene that matches the type of

image you are trying to record and the camera performs

troublesome setups automatically for beautiful pictures

every time.

•Coupling Shot and Pre-shot

Coupling Shot lets you combine two subjects into a single

image, while Pre-shot lets you add a subject to a

previously recorded background image. This means you

can create images that include you and your friend, even

if you are the only two people around. You can use

Coupling Shot and Pre-shot by selecting the applicable

sample images in the Best Shot mode.

•Image Roulette Feature

Images cycle like a slot machine on the display until one

of them remains.

•Triple Self-timer mode

The self-timer can be set up to repeat three times,

automatically.

•Real-time histogram

An on-screen histogram lets you adjust exposure as you

view the effect on overall image brightness, which makes

shooting under difficult lighting conditions easier than

ever before.

•World Time

A simple operation sets the current time for your current

location. You can select from among 162 cities in 32 time

zones.

INTRODUCTION

•Alarm

A built-in alarm helps to keep you on time for important

events, and even can be used in place of an alarm clock.

You can also have a specific image appear on the

monitor screen when the alarm time is reached.

•Album Function

HTML files are generated automatically to create an

album of recorded images. Album contents can be viewed

and printed using a standard Web browser. Images can

also be incorporated into Web pages quickly and easily.

•Calendar screen

A simple operation displays a full-month calendar on the

camera’s monitor screen. Each day of the full-month

calendar shows a thumbnail of the first image recorded

for that date, which helps to make searching for a

particular image quicker and easier.

•DCF Data Storage

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) data storage

protocol provides image inter-compatibility between the

digital camera and printers.

•Digital Print Order Format (DPOF)

Images can be printed easily in the sequence you want

using a DPOF compatible printer. DPOF can also be used

when specifying images and quantities for printing by

professional print services.

•PRINT Image Matching II Compatible

Images include PRINT Image Matching II data (mode

setting and other camera setup information). A printer that

supports PRINT Image Matching II reads this data and

adjusts the printed image accordingly, so your images

come out just the way you intended when you recorded

them.

•USB DIRECT-PRINT support

Your camera supports USB DIRECT-PRINT, which was

developed by Seiko Epson Corporation. When connected

directly to a printer that supports USB DIRECT-PRINT,

you can select images to print and start the print

operation directly from the camera.

•Bundled with Photo Loader and Photohands

Your camera comes bundled with Photo Loader, the

popular application that automatically loads images from

your camera to your PC. It also comes with Photohands,

and application that makes image retouching quick and

easy.
