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.

Changing the Screen Orientation

Normally, the camera automatically detects its current orientation and changes the icon and recorded image orientation accordingly. Note, however that the camera may not be able to detect its orientation correctly if it is pointed straight downwards. In this case, you can temporarily change the icon and recorded image orientation. This setting will remain in effect until you change it or until you turn off the camera.
1. Enter the REC mode.
2. Touch the screen orientation icon.
• If the icon is not displayed on the screen, touch the tab to display it.
3. Touch the icon of the orientation you want to
use.
This will cause both the icons and the recorded image to change in accordance with your selection.

IMPORTANT!
• Do not apply strong pressure to the surface of the monitor screen. Doing so can damage it.
• Never touch the lens with your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and other foreign matter on the lens can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Use a blower or other means to keep the lens and flash window free of dirt and dust, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

The frame of the camera can be rotated 360 degrees.
1. With the monitor screen facing towards
you, hold onto the frame.
2. Push the monitor screen panel from
behind.
3. Holding the edges of the monitor
screen panel, swing the frame open.

Other Charging Precautions
• 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 due to normal use may not charge fully. Leave the camera turned off and wait for a while to give the battery time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly. 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 the current battery level and charging conditions.
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
Checking the Current Battery Level
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates its current level as shown below.
Level High Low
Battery Indicator ***

Recording is not possible when is indicated. 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 30 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
97).
• See page 127 for information about battery life and number of shots.

NOTE
• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they are subject to change.

Preparing a Memory Card

Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 123.

Supported Memory Cards

– SD Memory Card – SDHC Memory Card – SDXC Memory Card
Use one of the above types of memory card.
• The above are supported memory card types as of October 2012.
• This camera supports use of SD memory cards of the following types and capacities: SD memory cards up to 2GB, SDHC memory cards from 2GB up to 32GB, SDXC memory cards from 32GB up to 2TB. Note that the ability to use any particular card with this camera, even if it satisfies the above capacity and type requirements, is not guaranteed.
• This camera supports use of Eye-Fi cards and FlashAir cards.

. To replace the memory card
Press the memory card and then release it. This will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and then insert another one.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save operation to fail and even damage the memory card.

To format (initialize) a new memory card

Format a memory card on the camera before using it for the first time.
IMPORTANT!
• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format the card.
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a card on a computer will result in a non-SD standard format, which can greatly slow down processing time and cause compatibility, performance, and other problems.
• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi Center install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.
• Formatting a FlashAir card with the camera will delete files on the card that are required for communication. For details about formatting, see the instructions that come with the FlashAir card.
1. Load a memory card (page 26).
2. Turn on the camera and then touch “MENU”.
• If “MENU” is not displayed on the screen, touch the tab to display it (page 35).
3. Drag upwards and downwards until you find “Setup”, and then touch it.
4. Touch “Format”.
5. Touch “Format” and then touch “Yes”.
This starts the memory card format operation.
