Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC)

Declaration of Conformity

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licenceexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

Opening and Adjusting the Angle of the Monitor

The direction and angle of the monitor on this camera can be adjusted. For normal shooting, fold the monitor against the back of the camera, facing rearward (3).

180°90°

To protect the monitor from scratches and dirt while you are carrying or not using the camera, close the monitor so that it is facing inward against the back of the camera.

B Notes About the Monitor

When moving the monitor, do not apply excessive force and make sure to turn it slowly within the adjustable range.

Page 23

Using the Camera Stand

Insert the battery into the camera (A10) and open the monitor 180 degrees. Insert your finger under the camera stand (LIFT TO OPEN) (1), and grasp it with your fingers to pull it outward (2). You can use the camera stand in either the fully open position (87 degrees) or the partially open position where it stops into place (67 degrees) (3).

67˚

87˚

B Notes About the Camera Stand

• If the camera stand angle is set to an angle other than those specified above, the

camera may become unstable and fall over. Adjust the angle so that the camera is stable, and make sure to place the camera on a level and stable surface before using it.

• Make sure to fold in the camera stand before returning the monitor to the

closed position against the back of the camera.

• Do not forcibly open the camera stand (more than 87 degrees). Doing so could

result in damage to the camera.

C Tip for Using the Camera Stand

Using the camera stand with the gesture control function (A41) or Self-Collage for glamour mode (A38) makes it easy to take self-portrait pictures.

• Move the battery latch to eject the battery.

• Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory

card.

• Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after using the camera, as they may become hot .

Charge the Battery

USB cable (included)

Power-on lamp

Electrical outlet

Charging AC Adapter

1 With the battery installed, connect the camera to an

electrical outlet.

If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the Charging AC Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly remove the plug adapter could damage the product.

* The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in

which the camera was purchased. This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to the Charging AC Adapter.

• The power-on lamp slowly flashes orange to indicate that the battery is charging.

• When charging is complete, the power-on lamp turns off. It takes about 2 hours to charge a fully exhausted battery.

• The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp quickly flashes orange, possibly due to one of the reasons described below.

- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.

- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.

- The battery is damaged.

2 Disconnect the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical

outlet and then disconnect the USB cable.

Preparing for Shooting

Page 32

B Notes About the USB Cable

• Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.

• Make sure that the plugs are properly oriented. Do not insert or remove the plugs at an angle when connecting or disconnecting them.

B Notes About Charging the Battery

• The camera can be operated while the battery is charging, but the charging time increases.

• If the battery level is extremely low, you may not be able to operate the camera while the battery is charging.

• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than Charging AC Adapter EH-71P/EH-71PCH, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

Preparing for Shooting
