This camera incorporates a safety circuit to protect its microcomputer against strong external static electricity. Though rarely, it may fail to function because this safety circuit has come into action. In this case, turn off the camera's power, remove the batteries, reload them and use the camera again.

For best performance, we recommend the use of genuine Kyocera accessories. Kyocera is not responsible for any accidents or damage caused by the use of accessories made by other manufacturers or fashioned by the user.

• Store the camera in a well-ventilated location, avoiding damp or dusty areas, drawers or boxes containing mothballs, or in laboratories or other locations where chemicals are handled. Exposure to such chemical fumes can result in damage to the camera's circuitry, resulting in short circuits and causing the camera to emit smoke or catch fire.

CAUTION

• Do not leave the camera for long periods in places subject to high temperatures, such as on a beach in summer or inside a car in full sun, as this can degrade the performance of the SD memory card or MultiMedia card and cause camera faults.

• Remove the batteries before storing the camera for extended periods of time, to prevent battery leakage and resulting damage.

• Rubbing or pressing strongly on the LCD monitor screen can result in damage or malfunctions. If there is dust or dirt on the LCD monitor, blow it off with a blower brush. Heavy soiling should be wiped off using soft cloth.

• If the LCD monitor should become broken, take precautions to prevent personal injury from glass fragments.

• If the LCD monitor breaks and its liquid contacts your skin, quickly wipe away

• Batteries normally suffer a temporary loss of performance at low temperatures. Before and after using the camera in cold locations, keep the batteries warm by holding them inside clothing or inside thermal insulation. Batteries with impaired performance at lower temperatures will return to normal at room temperature.

• Soiling such as sweat or grease on the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of a battery can cause contact problems. Wipe the batteries carefully with a dry cloth before using them.

• When taking the camera on a long trip, keep spare new batteries as a backup.

• The camera will not operate if the batteries are inserted with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals reversed.

CAUTION

• Do not leave batteries in locations subject to high temperatures, such as close to heater or other heat source, inside a car on a hot day, or in a location exposed to direct sunlight.

• When batteries will not be used for a long period, remove them from the camera and store them in a cool, dry location. Leaving batteries in the camera may cause them to leak fluid or overheat and could cause a fire.

• Batteries may feel hot immediately after use and could cause burns. Before removing batteries, turn the camera off and wait until the batteries have cooled down.

• Do not throw batteries around or otherwise subject them to strong impacts as this may cause them to leak fluid, overheat or explode.

• Do not use new and old batteries together or different types or brands of batteries together.

• If NiMH batteries charging is not completed even after the designated charging time has passed, stop battery charging. Continuing to charge batteries in this situation may cause the batteries to leak fluid or overheat.

• Do not use batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals reversed. Charging batteries when the terminals are reversed can cause abnormal reactions inside the batteries or unexpected abnormal current flows during discharging, causing the batteries to leak fluid, overheat or explode.

• When charging batteries, use the dedicated charger and follow the procedures provided in the "Instructions" for the batteries and charger to

CAUTION

• When the battery contact plates or battery terminals are soiled, wipe them with a dry cloth. Fingerprints or

other soiling on the camera's battery contact plates or on the battery terminals can cause significant electrical

resistance and reduce the number of available shots. Wipe the camera's battery contact plates and the

battery terminals clean with a soft, dry cloth.

• The first time you use rechargeable batteries after purchasing them, you should charge and discharge the

batteries 2 or 3 times. You should also charge rechargeable batteries that have not been used for 1 week or

longer. (This is due to an effect called "deactivation", whereby rechargeable batteries left for long periods

gradually self-discharge, resulting in the formation of a film on the internal terminals that hinders the flow of

current.)

Even rechargeable batteries that have not been used naturally discharge and lose their capacity if stored for

long periods. When this occurs, recharge the batteries before using them. At temperatures of 30°C or higher,

self-discharging may occur frequently and should be taken into account when selecting a storage location.

(Æ See "Charging and discharging batteries

• Do not top-up the charge in a rechargeable battery. Whenever possible, charge batteries fully once they are

completely discharged rather than topping up the charge. (This is to avoid the "memory effect", whereby

repeated topping up of the battery charge without fully discharging the battery results in a lower apparent

battery capacity and shortens the time for which the battery can be used, even though the battery has not

reached the end of its service life.)

Even when "LOW BATTERY" is displayed after you take a picture, you may still be able to turn the camera on

in Playback mode. When this occurs, the battery charge is not fully depleted and you should discharge the

batteries fully before recharging them. (Æ See "Charging and discharging batteries

• Remove the batteries from the camera if you do not intend to use it for a long period. Even when the camera

is turned off a very small current continues to flow. Leaving the batteries in the camera for a long period can

result in the batteries being overdischarged and unusable even when recharged.

• If batteries quickly run out of charge, they may be subject to the memory effect or they may be deactivated or

have reached the end of their service life. The memory effect and deactivation can be corrected by

repeatedly charging and discharging the batteries. If the batteries run out of charge after you have taken only

a few shots, the most likely cause is that the battery capacity is low, so that you can take shots immediately

after charging the batteries but the number of available shots tends to fall to just a few 2 or 3 days later.

Replace batteries that have reached the end of their service lives with new batteries.

ensure correct charging.

• When you are using multiple batteries, they should all be charged at the same time. Do not use charged and discharged batteries or different types or brands of battery together.

• Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries also have a limited service life. NiMH batteries that can only be used

for a short time even after repeated discharging and charging have probably reached the end of their service

lives.

Charging and discharging batteries

1. Charge the batteries.

2. Insert the batteries and a memory card (containing recorded images) into the camera.

3. Turn the camera on, select Playback mode and use the Auto Play function to run a slide show.

4. Leave the camera turned on until the power runs out (batteries fully discharged).

Repeat this charge/discharge procedure 2 or 3 times.

* If your charger has a discharge function, use the discharge function instead.

Apply insulating tape to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of used batteries and, wherever possible,

take them to an outlet that participates in a rechargeable battery recycling program.

Using Flash

«Applicable modes: C / N / S / I»

This camera has an Automatic Flash mode in which the camera determines whether or not to fire the flash based on the ambient light level. However, there is also a range of other flash modes that you can use to achieve particular effects in your shots.

A Important

When using the flash for close-up shots, you should set the ISO sensitivity to 200 or less.

If you set the sensitivity to a high ISO setting and then take close-up shots, the image will

be overexposed.

Flash Modes

[a] Auto Flash mode

The camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether to fire the flash.

[h] Red-eye Reduction Auto mode

In this mode, the flash reduces the red-eye effect by firing twice: once just before and again when the picture is

taken. As in Auto Flash mode, the camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether to fire the

flash.

A Important

[g] Flash Off mode

In this mode, the flash never fires, regardless of the ambient light levels. This mode is best for shots of sunsets

or shots where you want to retain an indoor ambiance.

A Important

The shot is taken the second time the flash fires, not the first time. Take care to ensure that

neither the camera nor the subject move after the flash fires for the first time.

• Because the shutter speed used may be slow, depending on the light levels, you should

place the camera on a tripod and use the self-timer (Æ

when the shot is taken.

• If the photographed image is too dark, use the exposure compensation (Æ

[b] Fill-in Flash mode

In this mode, the flash fires regardless of the ambient light conditions. When you take a picture in strong

sunlight or when the subject is backlit, this mode allows you to take a picture that clearly shows both the subject

and the background.

Avoiding camera shake

Camera shake refers to the effect of images appearing blurred or out of focus because the camera moved

when the picture was taken. This is particularly likely to occur at slow shutter speeds and in macro shots.

This applies particularly to macro shots with high magnifications, where the subject's depth of field

extremely shallow, and even the slight camera movement when the shutter release button is pressed can

have a large impact on the image.

In situations of this sort, place the camera on a tripod to take the shot. Still greater stability can be achieved

by using the self-timer (Æ

p.46) so that the camera does not move when the shutter release button is

pressed.

[AE MODE] Selecting the Exposure Setting Method

«Applicable mode: S»

The available AE (Automatic Exposure) mode settings are [PROGRAM] (automatic), [APER PRTY], and [SHTR PRTY]. In [PROGRAM] mode, the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture settings. This mode is recommended for first-time camera users or when you want to shoot without having to worry about the exposure settings. In [APER PRTY] mode, you set the aperture and the camera automatically sets the correct shutter speed for the subject brightness. When you shoot with a low aperture setting, the depth of field in which objects are clearly focused reduces in size. You can use this to take shots in which the subject stands out clearly against an unfocused background. Conversely, high aperture settings give a large depth of field in which objects are sharply focused and can be used to take pictures in which the subject and background are both in focus. (See "Depth of field In [SHTR PRTY] mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the correct aperture for the subject brightness. For example, you can set a fast shutter speed (a low setting) to freeze the movement of a fast-moving subject or a slow shutter speed (a high setting) to take pictures in low-light situations where you cannot use the flash. (See "

Shutter speed" on p.178 and "Shutter-priority AE" on p.178.)
