For Your Safety
Power Supp ly and Batter y
* Confirm yo ur batter y type before rea d-
ing the follo wing descriptions .
The follow ing explains proper use of
batteries and how to prolong their
life. Incorrect use of bat teries can
cause shorter battery life, as well as
leakage, excessive heat, fire or explosion.
Camera uses the Rechargeable
1
Lithium-ion Battery
* When shippe d, the battery is not
fully charged. Alw ays charge the
batter y before using it.
* When car rying the battery, install it
in a digital camera or keep it in the
soft case.
■ Ba ttery Fe atures
• The batter y gradually loses its
charge even when not used. Use
a batter y that has been charged
recently (in the last day or two) to
take pictures.
• To maximize the life of the batter y,
turn the camera off as quickl y as
possible when it is not being used.
• The number of available frames will
be lower in cold locations or at low
temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged battery. You can also
increase the amount of power produced by putting the batter y in
your pocket or another warm place
to heat it and then loading it into
the camera just before you take a
picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take
care not to place the battery directly against the pad. The camera
may not operate if you use a depleted bat tery in cold conditions.
■ Ch arging th e Batter y
• The bat tery can be charged at
ambient temperatures b etween
0°C and +40 °C (+32°F and +104°F).
Refer to the Own er’s Manual for the
time of charging battery.
• You should charge the battery
at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the batter y at
a temperature outside this range,
charging takes longer because the
performance of the battery is im paired.
• You cannot charge the battery at
temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.
• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before
being charged.
• The bat tery may feel warm after it
has been charged or immediately
after being used. This is perfectly
normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged
batter y.
■ Ba ttery Li fe
At normal temperatures, the battery can be used at least 300 times.
If the time for which the battery
provides power shortens markedly,
this indicates that the bat tery has
reached the end of its effective life
and should be replaced.
■ No tes on stora ge
• If a battery is stored for long periods
while charged, the per formance of
the battery can be impaired. If the
batter y will not be us ed for some
time, run the bat tery out before
storing it.
• If you do not intend to us e the
camera for a long period of time,
remove the battery from the camera.
• Store the batter y in a cool place.
- The b attery should be s tored in
a dry location with an ambient
temperature between +15°C and
+25°C (+59°F and +77°F).
- Do not leave the battery in hot or
extremely cold places.
■ Ha ndling th e Battery
Cauti ons for Your Sa fety:
• Do not carry or store battery with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not heat the battery or throw it
into a fire.
• Do not attempt to take apart or
change the battery.
• Do not recharge the battery with
chargers other those specified.
• Dispose of used b attery promptly.
• Do not drop the b attery or otherwise subjec t it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose the bat tery to water.
• Always keep the battery terminals
clean.
• Do not store batteries in hot places. Also, if you use the battery for
a long perio d, the camer a body
and the battery itself will become
warm. This is normal.
Camera uses AA Alkaline,
2
Rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal
hydride) or AA lithium batteries
* For details on the batteries that
you can use, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camera.
■ C autions fo r Using Batt ery
• Do not heat the batteries or throw
them into a fire.
• Do not carry or store batteries with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep batteries from getting
wet or stored in moist locations.
• Do not attempt to take apart or
change the bat teries, including
batter y casings.
• Do not subject the batteries to
strong impacts.
• Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.
• Do n ot store batteries in warm or
humid places.
• Keep the batteries out of reach of
babies and small children.
• Make sure that the batter y polarity
(C and D) is correct.
vii
For Your Safety
• Do not use new with us ed batteries. Do not use charged and discharged bat teries together.
• Do not use different types or
brands of batteries at the same
time.
• If you do not intend to us e the
camera for a long period of time,
remove the batteries from the
camera. Note if the camera is left
with the bat teries removed, the
time and date settings are cleared.
• The batteries feel warm right after being used. Before removing
the batteries, turn the camera off
and wait for the batteries to cool
down.
• Since batteries do not work well in
cold weather or locations, warm
the batteries by placing them inside your garments b efore use.
Batteries do not work well when
cold. They will work again when
the temperature returns to normal.
• Soil (such as fingerprints) on the
batter y terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the
number of images. Carefully wipe
the battery terminals with a sof t
dry cloth b efore loading.
If any liquid at all leaks from
the batteries, wipe the battery
compartment thoroughly and
then load new batteries .
If any battery fluid comes into
contact with your hands or
clothing, f lush the area thoroughly with water. Note that
batter y fluid can c ause loss
of eyesight if it gets into your
eyes. If this occurs, d o not rub
your eyes. Flush the fluid out
with clean water and contact
your physician for treatment.
■ Us ing the AA-s ize Ni-MH bat teries
corre ctly
• Ni-MH batteries left unused in
storage for long periods can become “deac tivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH batteries
that are only partially discharged
can c ause them to suffer from the
“memory effec t”. Ni-MH batteries
that are “deactivated ” or affected
by “memor y” suffer from the problem of only providing power for a
short time after being charged. To
prevent this prob lem, discharge
and recharge them several times
using th e camera’s “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function.
Deactivation and memor y are spe-
cific to Ni-MH batteries an d are not
in fact battery faults.
See Own er’s Manual for the proce-
dure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”.
CAUTION
Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable bat teries” function when
alkaline batteries being used.
• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the
quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to th e instructions
supplied with the charger to make
sure that the charger is used correctly.
• Do not use the battery charger to
charge other batteries.
• Note that the batteries feel w arm
after being charged.
• Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small amount of current
is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that
leaving Ni- MH batteries in the
camera for a long perio d will overdischarge the batteries and may
render them unusable even after
recharging.
• Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge
even when not used, and the time
for which they can be used may be
shortened as a result.
• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate
rapidly if over-discharged (e.g.
by discharging the batter ies in a
flashlight). Use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function provided in the camera to discharge
the batteries.
• Ni-MH batteries have a limited
service life. If a battery can only
be used for a short time even af ter
repeated discharge- charge c ycles,
it may have reached the end of its
service life.
■ Di sposing o f Batteri es
• When disposing of batteries, do
so in accordance with your local
waste disposal regulations.

• Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The
camera may in some cases record a greater or lesser
angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames
together perfectly. The last part of the panorama
may not be recorded if shooting ends before the
panorama is complete.
• Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned
too quickly or too slowly. Panning the camera in a
direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
• The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying
subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects
that are in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in
brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject
is poorly lit.
For Bes t Results
For best results, move the camera in a small circle at
a steady speed, keeping the camera horizontal and
being careful only to pan in the direction shown by
the guides. If the desired results are not achieved, try

N Using the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
When the flash is used, the camera’s Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based on
such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the camera.
Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed while
preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the flash
when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.
