Before use

■

Camera handling

Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.

●

The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.

●

Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where
water can come into contact with the camera.
Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile

●

substances (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).

■

Condensation (When the lens, the LCD monitor or the viewfinder is fogged up)

Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of

●

temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens,
the LCD monitor or the viewfinder dirty, cause mold, or damage the camera.
If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours

●

before using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature,
the fogging will clear naturally.

■

Caring for your camera

Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power

●

plug from the outlet.
Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force.

●

Do not press the lens with excessive force.

●

Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long

●

period of time.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents,

●

etc., to clean the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the
coating may peel off.
Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from

●

the sun may cause it to malfunction.
Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.

●

While the camera is accessing the card or built-in memory (for an operation

●

such as picture writing, reading, deleting, or formatting), do not turn off the
camera or remove the battery, card, AC adaptor (supplied).
The data on the built-in memory or the card may be damaged or lost due to

●

electromagnetic waves, static electricity or breakdown of the camera or the
card. We recommend storing important data on a PC etc.
Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the

●

camera only to ensure proper operation.

Troubleshooting

First, try out the following procedures.

If the problem persists, performing [Reset] in the [Setup] menu may resolve
the issue.

The charging lamp blinks.

Charging is being performed in a place with extremely high or low temperature.

●

→ Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in a place

where ambient temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) (temperature
conditions also apply to the battery itself).

Charging is not possible if the power supply capacity of the computer is low.

●

The lower right portion of recorded pictures appears dark or the color is unnatural.

Your finger is blocking the flash.

●

→ Make sure you are holding the camera correctly (→21).

Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED
lighting fixture.

This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This

●

is not a malfunction.

I would like to upload recorded pictures to a social networking service right after
taking them. How can I do that?

We recommend sending the pictures to your smartphone and uploading them from the

●

smartphone.

I am having a problem connecting to my Windows 8 PC. The user name and
password are not recognized.

Depending on the OS version, on Windows 8, for example, there are two types of user

●

account (local account/Microsoft account). Be sure to use the user name and password
for the local account. Since a Local account is not required by Windows 8, you may need
to create one.

(ENG) VQT5E54 35

Troubleshooting

The Wi-Fi connection is not recognizing my PC.

By default, the Wi-Fi connection uses the default workgroup name of “WORKGROUP”.

●

If the name of the workgroup has been changed, it will not be recognized. Select [PC
Connection] then [Change Workgroup Name] in the [Wi-Fi Setup] menu to change the
workgroup name to match that of your PC.

The GPS status indicator lights up while the camera is turned off.

[GPS Setting] is [ON].

●

→ Electromagnetic waves from the camera can affect instruments and meters. In airplane

cabins (during takeoff and landing) or in other restricted areas, set [Airplane Mode] to
[ON], and then turn off the camera.

Positioning takes time.

When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may

●

take several minutes.
Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the

●

GPS satellites change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and
environment.

→ Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera

using the “GPS Assist Tool”.

Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from

●

the GPS satellites.

The location name information is different from the recording location.

Immediately after the camera is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than

●

], the location name information that is recorded in the camera may vary significantly

[
from the current position.
When [ ] is displayed for the location name information, the information can be

●

changed to a different candidate before starting to record. You can edit a place name or
landmark name recorded in a picture.

Please refer to “Owner’s Manual for advanced features (PDF format)” for
