B Notes About Closing the Cover without Getting the Camera Strap

or Cord Caught

If the camera strap’s cord gets caught in the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover when it is closed, the cover could be damaged. Before closing the batterychamber/memory card slot cover, make sure that the strap or cord does not get caught in it.

Page 37

B Opening/Closing the Battery-Chamber/Memory Card Slot Cover

Do not open and close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover in a sandy or dusty environment or with wet hands. If the cover is closed without removing foreign particles, water may seep inside the camera or the camera may become damaged.

• If foreign particles get inside the cover or camera, immediatel y remove them with a

blower or brush.

• If liquid such as water gets inside the cover or came ra, immediately wipe it off with

a soft and dry cloth.

Charge the Battery

USB cable (included)

Charge lamp

Electrical outlet

Charging AC Adapter

1 With the battery installed, connect the camera to an

electrical outlet.

Preparing for Shooting

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 charge lamp slowly flashes green to indicate that the battery is charging.

• When charging is complete, the charge lamp turns off. It takes about 2 hours

and 20 minutes to charge a fully exhausted battery.

• The battery cannot be charged when the charge lamp quickly flashes green, 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.

Page 39

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.

C Charging Using a Computer or Battery Charger

• You can also charge the battery by connecting the camera to a computer.

• You can use the Battery Charger MH-65 (available separately) to charge the battery

without using the camera.

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies

The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do

not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in

loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.

C The Auto Off Function

• When no operations are performed for about one minute, the monitor turns off, the camera enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.

• To turn the monitor back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an operation such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.

C When Using a Tripod

• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:

- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode (A19) set to W (off)

- When the zoom is at a telephoto position

• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off in the setup menu (A78) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

Available Flash Modes

Auto

The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting.

• The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only immediately after the setting is made.

Auto with red-eye reduction

Reduce “red-eye” in portraits caused by the flash.

Off

The flash does not fire.

• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dark surroundings.

Fill flash

The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.

Slow sync

Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. The flash fires when necessary to illuminate the main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting.

C The Flash Mode Setting

• The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A49).

• The setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after

the camera is turned off.

C Red-eye Reduction

Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect. If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.

Note the following when shooting:

• Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release button is pressed and when the image is shot.

• More time than usual is required to save images.

• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.

• In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas of the

image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.

The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.

Using Face Detection

In the following shooting modes, the camera uses face detection to automatically focus on human faces.

• x (scene auto selector) mode (A21)

• Portrait or Night portrait scene mode

(A23)

• Smart portrait mode (A34)

• When AF area mode (A88) in A (auto)

mode (A42) is set to Face priority.

If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around the other faces.

If the shutter button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:

• In x (scene auto selector) mode, the focus area changes depending on the

scene.

• In Portrait and Night portrait scene modes or in smart portrait mode, the

camera focuses in the center of the frame.

• In A (auto) mode, the camera selects the focus area containing the subject

closest to the camera.

B Notes About Face Detection

• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in which the faces are looking.

• The camera cannot detect faces in the following situations:

- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed

- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

C Face Detection During Movie Recording

When AF area mode (A104) in the movie menu is set to Face priority, the camera focuses on human faces during movie recording. If the b (e movie-record) button is pressed when no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.

• Smart portrait mode (A34)

- The amount of Skin softening effect can be adjusted.

• x (scene auto selector) mode (A21)

• Portrait or Night portrait scene mode (A23)

Editing functions such as Skin softening can be applied to saved images by using Glamour retouch (A67) even after shooting.

B Notes About Skin Softening

• It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.

• Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be

achieved, and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator is displayed in green:

• Subject is very dark

• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun

behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark)

• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject

wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall)

• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is

inside a cage)

• Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple

rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.)

• Subject is moving rapidly

In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A55).
