LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.
Take test shots
Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is
recording correctly.

Quick Start Basics
IMPORTANT!
• A battery that has not been used for a long time, or ambient temperature extremes
can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging takes longer than about
five hours, a timer will terminate it automatically, even if the battery is not fully
charged. This is indicated by the operation lamp flashing red.
• The USB-AC adaptor will become warm during charging. This is normal and does
not indicate malfunction.
• The shape of the power plug depends on each country or geographic area.
If the operation lamp is not lit or flashing during charging, check the orientation of the
USB cable connectors.
• Make sure that you insert the cable connector into the USB port until you feel it
click securely into place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in poor
communication or malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you
still will be able to see the metal part of the connector

Quick Start Basics
IMPORTANT!
• The first time you connect the camera or controller to your computer with the USB
cable, an error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect
and then reconnect the USB cable.
• A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and
connection conditions can cause charging to take more than approximately five
hours, which will trigger a timer that terminates charging automatically, even if the
battery is not fully charged. If this happens, disconnect and then reconnect the
USB cable to restart charging. To complete charging faster, use of the included
USB-AC adaptor is recommended.
• Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.
Other Charging Precautions
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the batteries.
Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger
can result in unexpected accident.
• This model can be charged only via from USB 2.0 specification USB port only.
• USB charging devices and power supply devices are subject to fixed standards.
Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause
malfunction and/or failure of your camera.
• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you.
Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port
specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.
• A battery that is still warm immediately after normal use may not charge fully. Give
the battery time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly while it is loaded in the camera or controller. Because
of this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need
to use it.
• Charging the battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. If this
happens, plug the USB-AC adaptor into an outlet that is further away from the TV
or radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
• Never use the power cord with another device.
• Use only the USB-AC adaptor and USB cable specified in this manual for charging.
Use of any other type of devices may result in improper charging.

indicates that the battery is about to go dead. Charge the battery immediately.
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about 5 days with no power supplied while the battery is
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page
68).
• See page 118 for information about battery life and number of shots.

Quick Start Basics
Turning Power On and Off
. Camera-Controller Wireless Connection (Bluetooth)
The camera and controller communicate over a
Bluetooth wireless technology connection. Once
you perform the “pairing” operation required for
Bluetooth wireless technology connection, the
camera and controller will automatically connect to each other whenever you turn
them on. Note that the connection will be lost of the distance between the camera and
controller becomes too great or if a wireless LAN connection is established between
the camera and a smartphone. The controller will turn off after a preset amount of
time after the Bluetooth wireless technology connection is lost. The camera will
remain on, so you can shoot images by pressing its shutter button.
IMPORTANT!
• Your camera has Bluetooth wireless technology communication functionality built
in. Avoid operating the camera (including camera standalone operations) inside of
aircraft or anywhere else where wireless data communication is restricted.
NOTE
• The Bluetooth connection settings of this camera cannot be changed.
• The camera and controller’s Bluetooth wireless technology will not connect to any
other type of device.
. To turn on power
Both the camera and controller need to be turned on in order to use them.
Camera

Quick Start Basics
• The maximum range for shooting with the controller’s shutter button is around
10 meters (32.8'). The maximum range for viewing the image on the controller’s
monitor screen is around five meters (16.4').
• If the connection is poor, the controller operation lamp will flash green and
“ ” (Bluetooth communication status) will appear on the monitor screen. Camera
response may be slow if you perform an operation on the controller while
communication conditions are bad. If this happens, try adjusting the orientation and
the distance between the camera and controller.
• Note the precautions below to ensure stable
communication between the camera and controller.
– Position the controller so it is upright, with its screen
in a landscape (horizontal) orientation.
– Make sure nothing is blocking the back of the
controller, which is imprinted with logos and text.
– Point the back of the controller at the camera.
– Make sure nothing is blocking the area around the
camera’s lens ring.
– Make sure there are no obstacles in the path
between the camera and controller.
Sleep Mode
If you press [p] (Power) on the controller or if you do not perform any controller
operation for 25 seconds while there is a Bluetooth wireless technology connection
between the camera and controller, the controller image will go blank. Then, if no
operation is performed for five seconds, the camera and controller will enter a sleep
mode. The operation lamp slowly flashes green while the camera is in the sleep
mode. To restore the controller display, press any controller button. The Bluetooth
wireless technology connection between the camera and controller is maintained
even while they are in the sleep mode, so they can quickly recover when you press a
button.
• If the distance between the camera and controller becomes to great or if
communication conditions become bad while the camera is in the sleep mode, the
connection may be dropped between them.
