Getting Started

How to Attach the Strap

• The strap can be attached to the eyelet on either side (left and right) of the camera body.

Getting Started

How to Attach the Strap

Inserting the Battery and Memory Card

Battery latch Memory card slot

• With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move the orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).

• Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).

• Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or backward, as

this could cause a malfunction.

• If the write-protect switch of the memory card is locked, you cannot shoot, delete images, or format the memory card.

• Camera data, including images and movies, can be saved either on a memory card or in the internal memory. To use the internal memory, remove the memory card.

B Formatting a Memory Card

The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, make sure to format it with this camera.

• Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and other

data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep

before formatting the memory card.

• Insert the memory card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in

the setup menu (A120).

Removing the Battery or Memory Card

Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and screen have turned off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.

• 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 be hot.

Getting Started

Inserting the Battery and Memory Card

Charging the Battery

Power-on lamp (charge lamp)

Electrical outlet

USB cable (included)

Charging AC Adapter*

* A plug adapter is attached depending on the country or region of purchase. The

shape of the plug adapter varies with the country or region of purchase.

• Charging starts when the camera is connected to an electrical outlet while the battery is inserted, as shown in the illustration. The power-on lamp (charge lamp) slowly flashes while the battery is charging.

• When charging is complete, the power-on lamp (charge lamp) turns off. Unplug the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the USB cable. Charging time is about 2 hours and 30 minutes for a fully exhausted battery.

• The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp (charge lamp) quickly flashes, 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.

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.

•

Check the shape and direction of the plugs and do not insert or remove the plugs at an angle.

Getting Started

Charging the Battery

B Notes About Charging the Battery

• The camera can be operated while the battery is charging, but the charging time increases. The power-on lamp (charge lamp) turns off while the camera is being operated.

- Movies cannot be recorded while the battery is charging.

• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than the EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, 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.

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 screen 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 screen 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 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 (A120) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

Using the Flash

In situations where a flash is needed, such as in dark locations or when the subject is backlit, move the K (flash pop-up) control to raise the flash.

• When the shooting screen is displayed, you

can press the multi selector H (m) to set the flash mode. To set the flash to always fire, select m (fill flash).

• When not using the flash, gently push to

lower the flash until it clicks shut.

Switching Between the Monitor and Viewfinder

It is recommended that you use the viewfinder when bright conditions make it difficult to see the monitor, such as when outdoors in sunlight.

• When you bring your face close to the

viewfinder, the eye sensor responds to it and the viewfinder turns on, and the monitor turns off (default setting).

• You can also press the x (monitor) button to

switch the display between the monitor and viewfinder.

Diopter Adjustment of the Viewfinder

When the display in the viewfinder is difficult to see, adjust by rotating the diopter adjustment control while looking through the viewfinder.

• Take care not to scratch your eye with your

fingertips or nails.

B Notes About Checking and Adjusting Image Colors

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 shooting conditions (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 (A77). The camera can also focus using manual focus (A63, 64).
