• We assume no responsibility nor liability for accidents, damages and malfunctions resulting from the use of lenses made by other manufacturers.

t Memo

• Refer to “Functions Available with Various Lenses” (p.90) for details on the functions of each lens.

Using the Battery and Charger

Use the battery D-LI109 and battery charger D-BC109 exclusively developed for this camera.

Charging the Battery

1 Connect the AC plug cord to the battery charger. 2 Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.

3 Face the A mark on the

battery up, and insert it into the battery charger.

Insert the battery into the battery charger at an angle, and then fit into place. The indicator lamp is lit while charging and turns off when the battery is fully charged.

u Caution

• Do not use the battery charger D-BC109 to charge batteries other than D-LI109. Charging other batteries may cause damage or heating.

• Replace the battery with a new one in the following cases:

• If the indicator lamp blinks or does not light after the battery

is inserted correctly

• If the battery starts to run down more quickly even after

being charged (the battery may have reached the end of its service life)

t Memo

• The maximum charging time is approximately 240 minutes (it depends on temperature and remaining battery power). Charge in a location where the temperature is between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F).

Inserting/Removing the Battery

u Caution

• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it may not be removed.

• Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth before inserting.

• Be careful as the camera or battery may become hot after the camera has been used continuously for a long period of time.

• Remove the battery when you will not use the camera for a long time. The battery may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of non-use. If the removed battery will not be used for six months or longer, charge the battery for about 30 minutes before storing it. Be sure to recharge the battery every six to twelve months.

• Store the battery in a location where the temperature will remain at or below room temperature. Avoid locations with high temperatures.

• The date and time may be reset if you leave the battery out of the camera for long periods of time. If this happens, set the current date and time again.

Troubleshooting

t Memo

• In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out and putting it back in again. If the camera operates correctly, it does not require any repairs.

Problem Cause Remedy

The camera does not turn on.

The shutter cannot be released.

Autofocus does not work.

Battery is not installed properly. The battery power is low. The built-in flash is being charged. There is no available space on the memory card. Data is being processed. The lens aperture ring is set to a position other than

The subject is difficult to focus on.

The subject is too close.

Check the orientation of the battery.

Charge the battery.

Wait until charging is finished.

Insert a memory card with available space or delete unwanted images.

Wait until processing is finished.

Set the lens aperture ring to the 9 position or select [Enable] in [26 Using Aperture Ring] of the E4 menu. (p.92)

v cannot work well for lowcontrast objects (the sky, white walls, etc.), dark colors, intricate designs, rapidly-moving objects or scenery shot through a window or a net-like pattern. Lock focus on another object located at the same distance as your subject, then aim at the target and take a picture. Alternatively, use w. Move away from the subject and take a picture.

Problem Cause Remedy The focus cannot be locked.

The built-in flash does not discharge.

The camera is not recognized when it is connected to a computer.

Dust or dirt particles appear in images.

There are visible defects in a captured image, or parts in the display monitor that do not light up or remain lit.

AF Mode of Live View is set to f.

The flash mode is set to A or B.

The USB connection mode is set to [PTP].

The CMOS sensor is dirty or dusty.

There are defective pixels in the CMOS sensor.

Set [Contrast AF] to e, j, g, h or i. (p.51)

When the flash mode is set to A or B, the flash does not discharge if the subject is bright. Change the flash mode. (p.47)

Set [USB Connection] to [MSC] in the D2 menu.

Activate [Dust Removal] from the D4 menu. The Dust Removal function can be activated every

time the camera is turned on and off.

Refer to “Sensor Cleaning” (p.96) if the problem persists.

Activate [Pixel Mapping] from the D4 menu. It takes about 30 seconds to correct the defective pixels, so be sure to install a fully charged battery.
