About the Battery

This camera uses the rechargeable battery DB-100, a dedicated
lithium-ion battery supplied with the camera. The rechargeable
battery needs to be charged before use. The battery is not charged at
the time of purchase.

Number of shots you can take ----------------------------------------------------

Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 280

• Based on CIPA standard. (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on,
30 seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide­angle or wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the
power off after each 10 shots)

• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode (GP.45) or sleep mode (GP.114)
to increase the number of shots you can take.

• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods
of time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots)
will decrease. If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we
recommend carrying a spare battery.

Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera
off and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.

• Please remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long
period of time.

• When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium­ion battery (DB-100). Do not use any other battery.

• Batteries should be disposed of under rules appointed by the government or
the local authorities.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

SD or SDHC memory cards (hereafter referred to as “memory cards”)
available separately from third-party suppliers.

About Formatting -------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

Before using a memory card for the first time or after using a memory card
in other devices, be sure to format it with this camera. Memory cards can
be formatted using the [Format [Card]] item (GP.110) in the setup menu
(GP.109).

When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera records images to the internal
memory (t); when an SD memory card is loaded, it records images to the SD
memory card (u).

Where images are played back from --------------------------------------------

When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera plays back from the internal
memory (t). When an SD memory card is loaded, it plays back from the SD
memory card (u).

About the Electronic Level

When [ Level Setting] is turned on in the setup menu or by pressing
and holding the DISP. button, the camera uses a level indicator
and level sound to let you know whether the image is level during
shooting. The level indicator is displayed during normal symbol display
and histogram display.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

This is useful for keeping the image level when taking pictures of
scenery or buildings. This is also very useful for taking pictures with the
horizon visible.

When level:

The level indicator becomes green,
indicating that the scale is in the middle.

When tilted to the right or left:

The mark on the level indicator becomes
orange, indicating the opposite side of the
direction in which the camera is tilted.

When the camera is tilted too far to the
right or left:

Half of the level indicator on the opposite
side of the direction in which the camera
is tilted becomes red. The mark on the
level indicator is not displayed.

When the camera is tilted too far forward
or backward, or it cannot be determined
whether the camera is level:

The top and bottom of the level indicator
become red. The mark on the level
indicator is not displayed.

When the camera is held vertically:

When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function
can be used to determine whether the image is vertically level (the level
indicator appears in a different place).

Red

Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off

(GP.45), the level sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed.
When [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound], only the level sound is emitted.

• The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when
recording movies, and during interval shooting.

• The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when
shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.

• No level sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound] or
[Sound] and [Volume Settings] is set to [] (Mute) (GP.111).

• Use this function as a reference to see if images are level when shooting
images. The accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be
guaranteed.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

About the Histogram Display

When Histogram is on, a histogram
appears in the lower right corner on the
picture display. A histogram is a graph
indicating the number of pixels on the
vertical axis and the brightness on the

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

horizontal axis (from left to right, shadows
(dark areas), midtones, and highlights
(bright areas)).

By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an image
without being affected by the brightness around the picture display.
This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright or dark.

If the histogram has only peaks on the
right side, this picture is overexposed
with too many pixels only for highlight
sections.

If the histogram has only peaks on the left
side without anything else, this picture
is underexposed with too many pixels
only for shadow sections. Refer to this
histogram when correcting the exposure.

Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• The histogram displayed on the picture display is for reference only.

• After taking a picture, you can correct its brightness and contrast by making
adjustments to the histogram (GP.100).

• Depending on the shooting conditions (use of the flash, dark surrounding light,
etc.), the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the
brightness of the shot image.

• Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the
best possible result.

• A histogram with peaks in the center may not necessarily provide the best result
to suit your particular requirements. For example, an adjustment is required if
you want to underexpose or overexpose the image.

• For information on how to correct the exposure compensation, see P.90.

smooth transition from highlights to shadows for natural contrast.

Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With dynamic range double shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with
different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are
combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes,
so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The J symbol is always
displayed.
