This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•
Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.•
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is •
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.•
Warning: A shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits and to prevent interference
to radio and television reception. Use only shielded cable to connect I/O devices to this equipment. Any changes or
modications not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void your warranty and service agreement.

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 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 not extend or retract •
properly.
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
Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Camera & battery recycle notice
In the European Union, do not discard this product and battery as unsorted municipal waste.
Contact local authorities for recycling program information.
Camera on operating notice
On operating temperatures
Your camera is designed for use under the temperatures between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and
104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
Do not use/ store the camera in the following places
In an extremely hot, cold or humid place. In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the •
camera body may become deformed and this may cause a malfunction.
Under direct sunlight or near a heater. The camera body may become discolored or •
deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.
In a location subject to rocking vibration•
Near strong magnetic place•
In sandy or dusty places. Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may •
cause the camera to malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.

A simple technique professional photographers use to ensure they properly
auto exposure
bracketing (AEB)
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.

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.

Digital Print Order
Format (DPOF)
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.

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

The software structure which species how the data are logically organized on

An optional sub-structure in a hierarchical storage area that can contain data
objects.
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.

A device-specic four byte unsigned integer (UINT32) that represents a unique
