SAFETY INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing this camera. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions
contained in the following sections to ensure safe use of this product.
• Never operate the camera inside of an aircraft or anywhere else where operation of such devices are
restricted. Improper use creates the risk of serious accident.
• Do not aim the camera directly at the sun or other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight.
• Do not try to open the case of the camera or attempt to modify this camera in any way. High-voltage internal
components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Maintenance and repairs should be carried out
only by authorized service providers.
• Flashing too closely at the eyes of animals or people, especially youngsters, may cause eyesight damage.
Ensure that the camera is at least one meter (approx. 3.3 feet) away from infants when using the flash.
• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids. Do not use the camera with wet hands. Never use the
camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of fire and electric shock.
• Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent accidents or
damage to the camera.
• If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power OFF immediately and unplug
the AC adapter from the power outlet. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair.
Never attempt to repair the camera yourself.
• Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not stated or recommended for this
equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so could scratch the surface of the
lens, thereby reducing the quality of pictures or even the possibility of malfunction.
• The camera may become slightly warm during usage. This does not indicate malfunction.
• If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft-dust-free, dry cloth.

IMPORTANT!
• Image recording may not be performed if the shutter release button is pressed while the red operation
LED is blinking.
•You may not be able to achieve the desired results using a flash if the subject is too close or too far away.
About Red-eye Reduction
Using the flash to record at night or in a room with dim lighting can cause recorded images to show red spots
on the eyes of people. This is due to light emitted from the flash reflecting off of the retina of the eye. When
red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs two pre-flash operations: the first flash is
for triggering the irises to close, then the second flash is for Auto Focus operation. And the final flash is for the
actual recording of the image.
The flash flashes automatically as required by the imagetaking environment’s lighting level.
The flash is disabled, so it does not flash.
The flash is enabled, so it would flash regardless of lighting
level.
The flash flashes automatically as required by the imagetaking environment’s lighting level, and the flash prestrobes before shooting to account for the red-eye
phenomenon.

ABOUT THE HISTOGRAM
The histogram is a graph for assisting in judging the brightness of the image to be recorded. The greater the
bias towards the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias towards the right, the brighter the
image. If the image is dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive number. Similarly, adjust the
exposure compensation to a negative number if the image is bright.

Selecting the Metering Mode
Use the following procedure to specify multi-pattern metering, spot metering, or center-weighted metering as
En
the metering mode.
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU].
2. Press [ ] or [ ] repeatedly to highlight and select the “REC” tab.
3. Press [ ] or [ ] repeatedly to highlight and select ‘Metering’, then press [ ].
4. Press [ ] or [ ] repeatedly to highlight and select the desired setting, then press [SET].
Multi (Multi-pattern):
Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures
the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera
automatically determines shooting conditions according to the
measured lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly.
This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide
range of shooting conditions.
Center weighted (Center-weighted):
Center-weighted metering measures light concentrating on the center
of the focus area. Use this metering method to override the camera’s
exposure setting and tailor exposure for unique conditions.
Spot (Spot):
Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering
method to set exposure according to the brightness of the subject
without being affected by surrounding conditions.
IMPORTANT!
Changing the exposure compensation setting to a value other than 0.0 changes the metering mode setting
to “Center Weighted.” The metering mode changes back to “Multi” when the exposure compensation
setting is restored to 0.0.
Using the Filter Function
The camera’s filter function enables tinting of an image for recording.
1. Press [ ] or [ ] repeatedly to highlight and select the “REC” tab.

MEMOR
• Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When you insert a
memory card, however, the camera automatically stores files to the card.
• Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a memory card is
installed in the camera.
• Use only SD memory card or MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when
any other type of card is used.
• Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds.
• SD memory cards have a write-protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of
image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card, you must switch OFF writeprotection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its files.

IMPORTANT!
• Low battery power can cause the camera to turn OFF suddenly during data communication. It is
recommended to use an AC adapter (optional) to power the camera during data communication.
• Do not try to establish a connection between the camera and computer before installing the USB driver

USING A MEMORY CARD TO TRANSFER IMAGES TO ACOMPUTER
The procedures in this section describe how to transfer images from the camera to your computer using a
memory card.
Using a Computer with a Built-in SD Memory Card Slot
Insert the SD memory card directly into the slot. (Mind the positioning/insertion direction; forcefully pushing a
memory card into a slot can damage the card and/or the computer’s card slot. For instructions on
positioning/insertion direction, refer to the user documentation accompanying the computer.)
Using a Computer with a Built-in PC Card Slot
Use a commercially available PC card adapter (for an SD memory card/MMC). For full details, see the user
documentation that comes with the PC card adapter and your computer.

MEMORY DATA
Images recorded with this camera and other data are stored in memory using DCF (Design rule for Camera

digital cameras and other devices.
DCF Protocol
DCF devices (digital cameras, printers, etc.) can exchange images with each other. DCF protocol defines
camera format for image file data and the directory structure for file memory, so images can be viewed using
