GETTING UP AND RUNNING
INSERTING THE BATTERIES
This digital camera uses two AA-size alkaline batteries or Ni-MH batteries. AA-size Ni-MH batteries are recommended because of longer life. Do not use other types of batteries with this camera. When using Ni-MH batteries, fully recharge them with a battery charger suitable for complex elec­tronic equipment. Please consult your vendor about an appropriate charger. When replacing the batteries, the camera should be turned off.
Slide the battery-chamber door toward the front of the camera to release the safety catch (1). Open the door.
Insert the AA batteries as shown; make sure the positive and negative battery terminals are oriented correctly (2).
Close the battery-chamber door and slide it toward the back of the camera to engage the safety catch.
After installing the batteries, the set-date/time mes­sage may appear on the monitor. Set the date and time following the instructions in page 20. The clock and calendar can also be set in section 3 of the setup menu. If the camera is not used for several hours after the batteries are taken out, the clock, calendar, and memory settings are lost.

BATTERY-CONDITION INDICATOR
Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged. This is displayed briefly.
Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. The batteries must be replaced soon. The LCD monitor will turn off when the flash is charging. This warning automatically appears and remains on the monitor until the batter­ies are replaced. If the power level falls below this level when the camera is on, the battery-exhausted message will appear just before the camera shuts down.
AUTO POWER OFF
To conserve battery power, the camera will shut down if an operation is not made within three min­utes. To restore power, press the main switch. The length of the auto-power-off period can be changed in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 85). When the camera is connected to a computer, the auto-power-off period is set to ten minutes and cannot be changed.
This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator displayed on the LCD moni­tor. The indicator will change from white to red when battery power is low.
Low-battery indicator - the battery power is low. The batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. This warning remains on the monitor.
If power is insufficient for camera operation, LCD monitor will be blank and the shutter will not release. Change the batteries.
The AC adapter allows the camera to be powered from a household outlet. The AC adapter is rec­ommended when the camera is interfaced with a computer or during periods of heavy use.
AC adapter model AC-12U is for use in North America and Taiwan, AC-12GB is for use in United Kingdom and HongKong, AC-12 is for use in Japan, AC-12C is for use in China, and AC-12E is for use in all other areas.
Never connect the AC adapter to the camera while the camera is on.
Connect the power cord to the AC adapter unit.
Insert the power cord securely into an electrical outlet.
Insert the AC adapter’s output plug securely into the camera’s DC terminal.

ETTING UP AND RUNNING
INSTALLING AND REMOVING A MEMORY CARD
An SD (Secure Digital) Memory card or MultiMediaCard must be inserted for the camera to operate. If a card has not been inserted, a no-card warning will appear on the LCD monitor; the shutter can still be released, but no image is recorded.
Always turn off the camera and confirm the indicator lamp is not red and
blinking before changing the memory card, otherwise the card may be
damaged, and data lost.
Insert the memory card all the way into the card slot and then release. The card should catch in the slot.
Insert the card. Make sure the face of the card is toward the front of the camera. Always push the card in straight, never at an angle. Never force the card. If the card does not fit, check that it is orientated correctly.
To eject a memory card, press the card into the slot and release. The card can now be pulled out.
19
The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards compared with SD Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When using large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take longer.
The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to prevent image data from being deleted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the card, the data will be protected. However, when the card is protected, images cannot be recorded. If an attempt is made to record or delete an image with the camera, the card-locked message will appear and the LED lamp near the card slot will turn red and blink quickly. For memory card care and store see page 108.
If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need to be formatted. A card used in another camera may also have to be formatted before being used. A card can be formatted in section 1 of the setup menu (p. 82). When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is permanently erased.

USING THE ZOOM LENS
This camera is equipped with a unique 4.7 - 14.1mm zoom lens. This is equivalent to a 36 to 108mm lens on a 35mm camera. The lens is operated by the controller at the back of the camera. While zooming, the zoom scale is displayed on the LCD monitor.
To zoom in on the subject, move the controller up (T).
To zoom out, move the controller down (W).
The digital-zoom function can increase the power of the lens. The digital zoom is activated in section 2 of the advanced recording menu (p. 57).
The zoom lens not only affects how large the subject is in the picture, but it also influences the depth of field and perspective. Depth of field is the area between the closest object in focus and the furthest object in focus. As the lens zooms in to the telephoto position, the depth of field becomes shallower, separating the subject from the background. Many portraits are taken with telephoto lenses. Zooming the lens out to the wide-angle position makes both the foreground and background appear sharper. Usually landscape photographs take advantage of the large depth of field of wide-angle lenses. Wide-angle lenses also create a strong perspective which gives a sense of depth in the image. Telephoto lenses compress the space between the subject and background and create a weak perspective.

If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be hand held safely, the camera-shake warning indicator will appear on the monitor. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto position of the lens than at the wide-angle position. Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be released. If the warning appears, place the camera on a tripod or use the built-in flash.

FOCUS SIGNALS
SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS
This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The focus signal in the lower right corner of the LCD monitor indicates the focus status. The shutter can be released regardless if the camera can focus on the subject or not.
The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. In these situations the focus-lock func­tion (p. 26) can be used to focus on another object at the same distance as your main subject, and then the image can be recomposed to take the picture.
The subject in the focus frame is low in contrast.
The subject is too dark.
Two subjects at differ­ent distances overlap in the focus frame.
The subject is near a very bright object or area.
Focus confirmed - the LCD monitor focus signal is
white. Focus is locked.
