If the camera does not work as intended, or if an
error message is displayed on the screen, and you
are unsure of what to do, refer to the information
below to fi x the problem(s).
Troubleshooting
Battery
“The camera does not work even when batteries
are installed”.
● Insert recharged batteries in the correct
direction.
“Inserting and removing the battery and card
(commercially available)” (p. 4), “Charging the
battery” (p. 5)
● Battery performance may have been reduced
temporarily due to low temperature. Take the
batteries out of the camera, and warm them by
putting them in your pocket for a while.
Card/Internal memory
“An error message is displayed”.
“Error message” (p. 40)
Shutter button
“No picture is taken when the shutter button is
pressed”.
● Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera
automatically goes into sleep mode and the
monitor turns off if there is no operation for
3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No
picture is taken even if the shutter button is
fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom
buttons or other buttons to restore the camera
from sleep mode before taking a picture. If
the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it
automatically turns off. Press the n

to become acclimated to the surrounding
temperature and dry out before taking pictures.
“Vertical lines appear on the monitor”.
● This condition may occur when the camera is
pointed at an extremely bright subject under a
clear sky and so on.
The lines may appear on the recorded movie.
“The light is caught in the picture”.
● Shooting with fl ash in dark situations results in
an image with many fl ash refl ections on dust

Date and time function
“Date and time settings return to the default
setting”.
● If the batteries are removed and left out of the
camera for about 12 hours
settings return to the default setting, and must
be reset.

Miscellaneous
“The camera makes a noise when taking
pictures”.
● The camera may activate the lens and make a
noise even if no operation is performed. This
is because the camera automatically performs

Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that
you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
“Focusing on the subject”
● Taking a picture of a subject not in the
center of the monitor
After focusing on an object at the same
distance as the subject, compose the shot, and
take the picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 9)
● Set [AF Mode] (p. 25) to [Face/iESP]
● Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 25)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
● Taking a picture of subjects where
autofocus is diffi cult
In the following cases, after focusing on an
object (by pressing the shutter button halfway
down) with high contrast at the same distance
as the subject, compose the shot, and take
the picture.
Subjects with low contrast
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the

Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
● Taking pictures using N (p. 14)
● Select [C Sport] in the scene mode (p. 13)
The [C Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving
subject.
● Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures
can be taken at a high shutter speed even at
locations where a fl ash cannot be used.
“ISO sensitivity” (p. 22)
Exposure (brightness)
“Taking pictures with the right brightness”
● Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 25)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face
against backlight, and the face is brightened.
● Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 21) fl ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
● Taking pictures of a white beach or snow
scene
Select [q Beach & Snow] in the scene mode
(p. 13).
● Taking pictures using exposure
compensation (p. 21)
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen
for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures
of white subjects (such as snow) results in
images that are darker than the actual subject.
Use the exposure compensation to adjust in
the positive (+) direction to express whites as
they appear. When taking pictures of black
subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to
adjust in the negative (-) direction.
Color hue
“Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as
they appear”
● Taking pictures by selecting white balance
(p. 21)
Best results in most environments can
normally be obtained with the [WB Auto]
setting, but for some subjects, you should try
experimenting with different settings. (This
is especially true for sunshade under a clear
sky, mixed natural and artifi cial light settings,
and so on.)

“Taking sharper pictures”

Avoid using digital zoom (p. 26) to take pictures.
● Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity

sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and
color unevenness that were not in the original
image) can occur, and the image can appear

Camera care
Exterior
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very
dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring
well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and
then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the
camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean
water and wrung well.
Monitor
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

• Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower,
then wipe gently with a lens cleaner.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or
alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is
left dirty.
Battery/USB-AC adapter
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Storage
• When storing the camera for extended periods,
remove the battery, USB-AC adapter and card, and
keep in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
• Periodically insert the battery and test the camera
functions.
Avoid leaving the camera in places where
chemical products are handled since this may
result in corrosion.

Using a separately sold USB-AC
adapter
The USB-AC adapter F-3AC (sold separately) can
be used with this camera. Do not use any USB-AC
adapter other than the dedicated one. When using
F-3AC, be sure to use the USB cable included with
this camera.
Do not use any other USB-AC adapter with this
camera.
Shooting is not available when using the F-3AC.
Using a separately sold
charger
A charger (LI-41C: sold separately, or UC-50 and
UC-42BC: sold separately) can be used to charge
the battery.
Using your charger and USB-AC
adapter abroad
• The charger and USB-AC adapter can be used in
most home electrical sources within the range of
100 V to 240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world.
However, depending on the country or area you
are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently
and the charger and USB-AC adapter may require
a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details,
ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent.
• Do not use travel voltage converters as they could
damage your charger and USB-AC adapter.
● This camera can be used without a card by storing
images in its internal memory.
SD/SDHC/SDXC card write-protect switch
The SD/SDHC/SDXC card body has a write-protect
switch.
If you set the switch to the “LOCK” side, you will not
be able to write to the card, delete data or format.
Return the switch to enable writing.
LOCK
Format
Cards must be formatted with this camera before
fi rst use or after being used with other cameras or
computers.
Checking the image saving location
The memory indicator shows whether the internal
memory or card is being used during shooting and
playback.
Current memory indicator
v: Internal memory is being used
w: Card is being used
Even if [Memory Format]/[Format], [Erase],
[Sel. Image], or [All Erase] is performed, the
data in the card is not completely erased. When
disposing of the card, damage the card to
prevent the disclosure of personal data.
● Switching between a card and internal memory is
not available.
When using the internal memory, remove the card
fi rst.
Readout/recording process of the card
During shooting, the current memory indicator lights
up in red while the camera is writing data. Never
open the battery/card cover or unplug the USB cable.
This can not only damage the image data but also
render the internal memory or card unusable.

Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image
may become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure
or damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the
monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the
edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not
a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the monitor may
take a long time to turn on or its color may change
temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold
places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm
place. The monitor exhibiting poor performance due to
low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
• The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-quality
accuracy, however, there may be a stuck or dead pixel on
the monitor. These pixels do not have any infl uence on
the image to be saved. Because of the characteristics, the
unevenness of the color or brightness may also be found
depending on the angle, but this is due to the structure of
the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
