Important Safety Precautions (Cont’d)
Caution
When taking a picture, wipe off the flash surface and be
careful not to cover the flash.
If the flash surface is dirty or you take a shot with the flash
covered, it is possible for the flash surface quality or color to
change, due to the high temperature of the flash.

• Within the reach of children.
The strap may wrap around the neck causing strangulation,
or accessories such as batteries, Memory Card, etc. may
be swallowed.
• Unstable surfaces such as on an unstable table or an
angled surface.
Camera dropping on the head or other body parts may not
only cause personal injury but malfunction of the unit as
well.

to an outlet
q
1. Connect the power cord to the charger.
2. Plug the cord into an outlet.
3. Put the battery pack in the charger.
• While the battery pack is being charged, the charging display LED will be red;
when the battery pack is fully charged, the light will turn green.
4. After charging, remove the battery pack from the charger and then the
power cord from the outlet and the charger.
• Normal charging time is about 2.5 hours. Please charge your battery pack in an area
with a temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
• Charging time will vary with the surrounding temperature and the condition of the
battery pack.
• Before using new battery packs or battery packs that have not been used for some
time, be absolutely sure to charge them.
• When a battery pack reaches the end of its useful life, it can be used only for a short
time, even when fully charged. When that happens, replace with a new battery pack
(sold separately, model # DR-LB4).
• During charging both the charger and the battery pack get hot; this is normal.

Inserting/Removing Cards
- About 2 MB of memory are built into this camera as recording media for
image data, and other information, such as date and time, so even without a
card inserted, the camera can record in an emergency. If you wish to use an
aftermarket card, any of the following are appropriate: SD Memory Card, MultiMedia Card, Memory Stick. (All three will be called “card” hereafter.)
- First, turn OFF the main switch (lens cover closed), make sure the LCD monitor
is OFF and turn off all power. If power is ON, damage may occur to the card or
to the camera itself.
Under the factory default, the built-in memory has a demo picture of the
world map in it, leaving only about 1 MB of memory capacity. To erase this
image, follow the steps below.
1
• This procedure erases all images from built-in memory.
1. Select “FORMAT” from the set-up menu and
choose “IN MEMORY” (page 87)
2. On Screen 1, while pressing the DELETE
button, press MENU/SET button.
3. Once formatting starts, the message “NOW
FORMAT…” will appear. When formatting is
completed, the camera returns to the setup menu.

the knocked out part first into the slot and push in until a click is heard.
• Take care that the card is inserted facing the right way. If the card is forcefully
inserted facing the wrong way, it will damage the connector.
• There are two card slots. When a SD Memory card or MultiMedia Card are used,
insert them in the slot at the back of the camera, and if a Memory Stick is used,
insert it in the slot toward the front.
3. Close the battery/card cover.

Inserting/Removing Cards (Cont’d)
Card Removal
1. Open the battery/card cover.
2. If you gently push in on the card, the lock
will release and the card will come out a
little. Then carefully draw the card out.
3. Again, close the battery/card cover.
Warning! Insert or remove cards only after making sure that absolutely
all power is OFF as indicated by the viewfinder LED being
off.
While the card is being accessed, or an image is being processed,
the LCD monitor will show “Now COPY…”, etc., and the red LED
will come on.
If you open the battery/card cover while the red LED is flashing,
image processing may be interrupted or hindered.
While the red LED is still lit, make sure that you DO NOT open the
battery/card cover.
• When a card is inserted, it is recorded on first. (When a card is not inserted,
internal memory is used for recording. However, in this case the recording
image size is limited to only 640 × 480 pixels.)
• Also, it is possible to insert and use two cards simultaneously, such as an
SD memory card (or multi-media card) and a Memory Stick.
In this case the card being used will be recorded on first. By using the Setup menu, you can select which to record to first (p.92).
