Power Supp ly and Batter y

* Confirm your battery ty pe before read-

ing the foll owing descriptio ns.

The following explains proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use of batteries can cause shorter battery life, as well as leakage, e xcessive heat, fire or expl osion.

Camera uses the Rechargeable

Lithium-ion Ba

* When shipp ed, the bat tery is not

fully charged. Always charge the batter y before using it.

* When c arrying the bat tery, install it

in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.

■ Battery Features

• The battery gr adually 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 bat tery, turn the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

• Th e number of availabl e frames will be lower in col d locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged batter y. You can also increase the amount of power produced by put ting the battery in your pocke t or another warm place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a picture.

ttery

If you are using a heating pad, take

care not to place the batter y directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted bat tery in cold conditions.

■ Ch arging t he Batter y

• You can charge the batter y using the battery charger (included).

- The battery can be charged

at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the time of charging battery.

- You should charge the b attery

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 batter y is impaired.

- You cannot charge the batter y

at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

• The Rechargeable Lithium- ion Battery does not need to b e fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.

• The battery may feel warm af ter it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.

• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, th e battery can be used at least 300 times. If the time for which the battery provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its ef fective life and should be replaced.

■ Notes on storage

• If a batter y is stored for lo ng periods while charged, the performance of the battery can be impaired. If the batter y will not be used for some time, run the battery out before storing it .

• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the bat tery from the camera.

• Store the batter y in a cool place.

- The battery should be stored in

a dry location with an ambient temperature b etween +15°C and +25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

- Do not leave the batter y in hot or

extremely cold places.

■ Ha ndling th e Batter y

Cauti ons for Your Sa fety:

• Do not carr y or store bat tery with metal obje cts such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not heat the batter y or throw it into a fire.

• Do not attempt to take ap art or change the battery.

• Do not recharge the bat tery with chargers other those specified.

• Dispose of used batter y promptly.

• Do not drop the bat tery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts.

• Do not expose the battery to water.

• Always keep the batter y terminals clean.

• D o not store bat teries in hot places. Also, if you use the bat tery for a long period, the camera body and the battery itself will become warm. This is normal. Use the AC power adapter if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH

(nick

el-metal hydride) rechargeable

batteries

* For details on the batteries that

you can use, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camera.

■ C autions fo r Using Bat tery

• Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.

• Do not carr y or store batteries with metal obje cts 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 batteries, including battery casings.

• D o not subjec t the bat teries to strong impacts.

• D o not use bat teries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.

Page 7

For Your Safety

CAUTION

• Do not store batteries in warm or humid places .

• Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.

• Make sure that the battery polarit y (C and D) is correct.

• D o not use new with used bat teries. 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 use the camera for a long period of time, remove the bat teries from the camera. Note if the camera is left with the bat teries removed, the time and date set tings 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 before use. Batteries do not work well when cold. They will work again when the temperat ure 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 before 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 c an cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water and contac t your physician for treatment.

■ Us ing the AA- size Ni-MH b atteries

correctly

• Ni-MH batteries lef t unused in storage for long periods can be come “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH batteries that are only par tially discharged can cause them to suffer from the “memory effect”. Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or af fected by “memory” suffer from the problem of only providing power for a short time after b eing charge d. To prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them several times using the camera’s “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function.

Deactivation and memory are spe-

cific to Ni- MH batteries and are n ot in fact battery faults.

See Owner’s Manual for the proce-

dure for “Discharging rechargeable batteries”.

CAUTION

Do not use the “Discharging re chargeable batteries” function when alkaline batteries being used.

• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charg er (sold separately). Refer to the 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 warm after being charged.

• Due to the way the camer a is construc ted, 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 period will overdischarge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging.

• Ni-MH bat teries will self-discharge even when not us ed, and the time for which the y can be used may be shortened as a result.

• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if over-discharged (e.g. by discharging the batteries in a flashlig ht). Use the “Discharging re chargeable batteries” function provided in the camera to discharge the batteries.

• Ni-MH bat teries have a limited service life. If a bat tery can only be used for a short time even after repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have reached the end of its service life.

■ Disposing of Batteries

• When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.

Slide the battery-chamber latch in the direction shown and open the battery-chamber cover.

1 Note

Be sure the camera is off before opening the battery-chamber cover.

3 Cautions

• Do not open the battery-chamber cover when the camera is on. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to image files or memory cards.

• Do not use excessive force when handling the battery-chamber cover.

Insert the batteries.

Insert the batteries in the orientation shown by the “+“ and “–“ marks inside the battery chamber.

3 Cautions

• Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.

• Never use batteries with peel-

ing or damaged casing or mix old and new batteries, batteries with different charge leve ls, or batteries of different types.

Failure to observe these precautions could result in the batteries leaking or overheating.

• Neve r use manganese or Ni- Cd batteries.

• The capacity of alkaline batteries varies with the manufacturer and drops at temperatures below 10 °C/50 °F; Ni-MH batteries are recommended.

• Fingerprints and other soil on the battery terminals can shorten battery life.

First Steps

Page 24

Inserting a Memory Card

3 Cautions

• Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted fro m the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

• Format SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see “K FORMAT” (P 93).

• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card, seek medical assistance immediately.

• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD/SDHC/SDXC card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.

• Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.

• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card. Use a G card or better when shooting HD or high-speed movies.

• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.

• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image files. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

120

Progress bar

1 Note

Shooting ends if the shutter button is pressed all the way down during shooting. No panorama will be recorded if the shutter button is pressed before the camera has been panned through 120 °.

3 Cautions

• 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 panning at a different speed.

: PROGRAM AE

In this mode, the camera sets exposure automatically. If desired, you can choose different combinations of shutter speed and aperture that will produce the same exposure (program shift).

3 Caution

If the subject is outside the metering range of the camera, the shutter speed and aperture displays will show “---”. Press the shutter button halfway to measure exposure again.

Program Shift

Rotate the command dial to choose the desired combination of shutter speed and aperture. The default values can be restored by raising the flash, rotating the mode dial to another setting, turning the camera off, or selecting playback mode. The flash must be off for Program shift to be available. Furthermore, an option other than AUTO must be selected for U DYNAMIC RANGE and N ISO.

N Using the Flash (Super-Intelligent Flash)

Mode

Descri ption

When the flash is used, the camera’s Super-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.

Raise the flash.

Press the flash pop-up button to raise the flash.

Turning the Flash Off

Lower the flash where flash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting under dim light. At slow shutter speeds, k will be displayed to warn that pictures may be blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.
