Precautions

Camera Body Temperature

If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. This is not a malfunction and will not affect the camera’s performance or the stored images. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for an extended period.

About the LCD monitor

The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specifications. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black, red or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.

About 2CR5 Lithium Batteries

• Please note that using 2CR5 lithium batteries at low temperatures will severely limit their performance. Even new batteries may only provide power for a few shots. You can obtain more shots if you warm the battery in your pocket immediately prior to use. When operating the camera at close to 32˚F (0˚C), keep the LCD monitor off and compose images with the optical viewfinder.

• Even if the battery charge appears to be depleted while shooting at low temperature ("Lb" shows in the display panel), the battery may still retain a charge when used at room temperature.

• You are advised to use a power kit (sold separately in some regions), a charged battery pack or an AC adapter if you will be using the camera frequently at low temperatures, loading images onto a computer or performing other tasks that require extended operation.

Notice: Please ensure that you read and follow the handling and safety precautions on

pages 5 to 10 of this guide before attempting to use the camera.

Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems

Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera

Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or power cord (if connected) from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.

Extended Storage

When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the battery (except the CR2016 lithium button battery) and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended periods with a battery installed will run down the battery and may damage the camera.

Situations Not Suited to Autofocus Photography

The following situations are not suited to autofocus photography.

• Subjects with extremely low contrast

• Subjects that mix close objects with distant objects

• Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the image

• Subjects that are moving quickly

To take photographs under these conditions lock the forcus on an object the same distance away from the camera as the one you wish to photograph and then reposition the camera to achieve your desired shot.

When recording through glass, try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the chances of light reflecting back off the glass.

• Please use the supplied PhotoStitch program to merge the images on a computer.

Vertical Series

Shooting

Horizontal Series

2 x 2 (Matrix)

What is the Stitch Function?

• Stitching is the process of merging digital camera images so that the seams are invisible. Expansive scenes can be dynamically presented in their entirety.

How to Frame a Subject

The stitch function detects the overlapping portions of adjoining images and merges them. When shooting, try to include a distinctive item in the overlapping portion.

• Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30% to 50% of the width of the adjoining image. Try to keep any vertical misalignment to within 10% of the image height.

• Do not include moving items in the overlap.

• Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close items. Objects may appear warped or doubled up.

• Make the brightness as consistent as possible. The final image will appear unnatural if the difference in brightness is too large.

Camera Positioning

Landscapes

To record distant landscapes, pan the camera (tilt or swivel the camera on its own axis).

For a horizontal series, swivel the camera left or right.

For a vertical series, tilt the camera up or down.

Documents

To record close-ups of documents, shift the camera above the document, keeping it parallel to the document.

Shooting

Select from the following image arrangements.

Right: left to right in a horizontal plane

Left: right to left in a horizontal plane
