Safety Information

Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the safety
precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.
Do not aim the camera directly into 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.

children. Eye damage may result. In particular, remain at least one meter away from
infants when using 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. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair.

Tips on Red-Eye Reduction feature:
Shooting with flash in dark places, the subject's eyes may appear red in the picture. This
phenomenon is known as "Red-Eye" and occurs when flash reflects back from the retina.
With the Red-Eye Reduction feature, the camera can contract the pupils of the subject by
lighting for about 1 second before the flash is fired to reduce the chances of Red-Eye.

Folder File Capacity

Each folder usually contains up to 999 images. If a photo is taken when the file number
has reached 0999, the camera will create a new folder. For example, if the current folder is
“100DICAM”, the new folder will be named “101DICAM.”
If the total folder number reached 999 and the total file number exceeds 9999, the
camera will display the warning message “FILE NUMBER OVER.” In this case, please set
the File Number Reset to ON mode and then format the memory or insert a new memory
card. (p.32)

File Number Reset

Setting the File No. Reset to OFF is useful for avoiding file name duplication when files are
downloaded to a computer. However, if you want to start numbering files from 0001 after
a new SD card is inserted, or after the memory is formatted, or when you experience a
““FILE NUMBER OVER” warning (p. 31), set the File Number Reset mode to ON.

Understanding Camera Memory and Storage

Internal Memory
The digital camera is equipped with internal memory. If an SD card is not installed in the
camera, all photos recorded by the camera will be stored in the internal memory. If an SD
card is installed, photos and video clips are stored on the SD card.
Optional SD Memory Card
Photos, video clips, and other information recorded by the camera are stored on the SD
card using the Design Rule for Camera File System (DCF) protocol. The DCF protocol is
designed to accommodate file and data exchange between digital cameras and other
devices.
DCF Protocol
The DCF protocol defines the format for image file data as well as the directory for the
memory card. Photos that are taken by a DCF camera can be viewed on DCF-compatible
cameras from other manufacturers.
