Safety and Handling Precautions
Camera Information
Do not take apart or attempt to service the camera yourself.•
Do not expose the camera to moisture, or extreme temperatures.•
Allow the camera to warm up when moving from cold to warm temperatures.•
Do not touch the camera lens.•
Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight for extended periods.•
Do not use abrasive chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the product. •
Wipe the product with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Battery Information
Turn off the camera before installing or removing the battery.•
Use only the provided batteries or type of battery and charger that came with your camera. •
Using other types of battery or charger may damage the equipment and invalidate the
warranty.
When using Li-ion battery in this product, ensure that they are inserted correctly. Inserting •
the battery upside down can cause damage to the product and possibly cause an explosion.
When the camera is used for an extended period of time, it is normal for the camera body •
to feel warm.
Download all pictures and remove the battery from the camera if you are going to store the •
camera for a long period of time.
The type of battery and the battery power level may cause the lens to be stuck up. Ensure •
you use the correct battery type and use a fully charged battery.
Battery safety notice
If the battery pack is mishandled, the battery pack can burst, cause a re or even chemical
burns. Observe the following cautions.
Do not disassemble.•
Do not crush and do not expose the battery pack to any shock or force such as hammering, •
dropping or stepping on it.
Do not short circuit and do not allow metal objects to come into contact with the battery •
terminals.
Do not expose to high temperature above 45°C (113°F) such as in direct sunlight or in a car •
parked in the sun.
Do not incinerate or dispose of in re.•
Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium ion batteries.•
Be sure to charge the battery pack using a device that can charge the batter pack.•
Keep the battery pack out of the reach of small children.•
Keep the battery pack dry.•
Dispose of used battery packs promptly as described in the instructions.•
Replace the battery with the specied type only. Otherwise, re or injury may result. Do not
expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like.
v
Lithium-ion Battery Warning

Photography Terms and Denitions
Terms Denitions
A simple technique professional photographers use to ensure they properly
auto exposure bracketing
(AEB)
autofocus (AF)
expose their pictures, especially in challenging lighting situations. When AEB
is selected, the camera automatically takes three or more shots with a different
exposure for each frame.
Autofocus refers to a camera lens’ ability to adjust its conguration in order
to focus properly on a subject regardless of whether it is near or far from the
camera. Autofocus lenses generally provide vastly superior image quality than
do their xed focus cousins since they do not have to rely on their depth of
eld. Also known as: “AF”, “auto-focus”
An end-user created object that is used to logically group data objects

according to some user-dened criteria. An album may or may not be a
physical folder in a lesystem.
A circuit that converts an analog signal, having a continuously varying
amplitude, to a digitally quantized representation using binary output signals.
With auto white balance, the camera attempts to determine the color
temperature of the light and automatically adjust for that color temperature.
Many people just leave the camera set to auto white balance all the time.
A type of silicon integrated circuit used to convert light into an electronic signal.
A transport-provided logical or physical persistent mechanism for transferring
data between devices.
A standardized ASCII le created in a digital camera and stored on removable
media along with the image les that indicate how many copies of which
images should be printed. It also allows index prints, cropping, and text
overlays to be specied.

on a removable medium, such as a memory card or magnetic disk.
A compressed le format for digital cameras in which the images are
compressed using the baseline JPEG standard, described in ISO 12234-2,
and metadata and thumbnail images are stored using TIFF tags within an
application segment at the beginning of the JPEG le.
A numerical value that is inversely proportional to the exposure provided to
an image sensor to obtain an image. Images obtained from a camera using a
range of exposure index values will normally provide a range of image quality

A numerical value calculated from the exposure provided at the focal plane of
an electronic camera to produce specied camera output signal characteristics
using the methods described in the referenced standard. The ISO speed
should correlate with the highest exposure index value that provides peak
image quality for normal scenes.
