In accordance with CIPA standards
Normal temperature (23°C ( 73° F)), monitor on, zoom operation between full wide and full telephoto every 30 seconds, during
which two images are shot with flash; power turned off and back on every time 10 images are shot.

• Use only the special rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-50) to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not
supported.
• The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time settings of the camera are cleared about 12
hours after power is totally cut off (from both the battery and USB cradle). If this happens, be sure to reconfigure these settings
after power is restored.
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 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.
Lens
• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction.
• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight.
This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
Special AC Adaptor
• Power cord precautions for use in Singapore
The power cord set is not supplied. The power cord used must comply with relevant national and/or international standards.

ADJ TOOL
■ Introduction
Make sure to perform the adjustment by the USB ADJ Tool “AdjUSB.exe” when replacing the lens unit or the
PCB.
Here the necessary software, driver and setting are explained to use “AdjUSB.exe”.
Note that the tool, drivers etc. are available only for Windows.
1. Preparation
1-1. Prepare the necessary software, driver and DLL file.
2) Place the testmode driver in an appropriate place.
3) Place all of ADJ tool, USB DLL and ADJ setting file in the same folder.
1-2. Set the camera so that it recognizes the USB test mode.
1) Enter the test menu.
Turn the power on while pressing both [MENU] and [UPPER (DISP)].
Press [DOWN], [DOWN], [RIGHT] and [MENU].
2) Move the cursor to “2: USB TCC TEST” and press [SET].
3) Move the cursor to “1: USB TCC ON” and press [RIGHT], [RIGHT] and [SET].
4) USB TCC ON is now active. Turn the power off.
5) The test menu appears first when the camera power is turned on.
* When changing the USB TCC ON to OFF, set “2: USB TCC OFF” in the test menu.
1-3. Install the USB driver for the USB test mode in the computer.
(The following is an example using the Windows Me.)
1) Prepare the USB driver for the USB test mode.
2) Turn the camera power on which is set in the USB test mode as shown in 1-2 and let it enter the USB
test mode directly (the test menu appears right after the power is turned on).
