About the Battery

The camera can be used with the following batteries:

• DB-65 rechargeable Li-ion batteries (supplied)

• AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores)

• AAA Nickel-Hydrogen Batteries (available in stores)

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

• Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge

Battery Type

Rechargeable Battery (DB-65) Approx. 400 AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores) Approx. 35

* When [LCD Auto Dim] (GP.98) is set to [On].

• 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).

• The figure for the number of shots that can be taken with AAA alkaline batteries is based on measurements made with batteries manufactured by Panasonic.

• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can take (GP.46).

• 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.

Number of Shots (Normal Mode)

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-65). Do not use any other battery.

• DB-60 Li-ion batteries can not be used.

• NiMH batteries are not charged at purchase; charge before use.

• NiMH batteries may suffer a drop in performance immediately after purchase or following a month or more of disuse and may need to be recharged two or three times before they will hold a charge.

• The battery life of alkaline batteries varies with make and the time elapsed since the date of manufacture. Capacity drops at low temperatures.

• Manganese and Ni-Cd batteries can not be used.

• The drain on the battery increases when a GPS unit or barcode reader is connected or pictures are uploaded via Bluetooth® or over a wireless LAN. Use a DB-65 or ready spare AAA batteries.

SD Memory Cards (Available in Stores)

Pictures can be stored in the camera’s 6.5 GB internal memory or on optional Eye-Fi cards or SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards (hereafter referred to as “memory cards”).

Formatting ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 (note that formatting Eye-Fi cards deletes the software on the card). Memory cards can be formatted using

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

the [Format [Card]] item (GP.96) in the setup menu (GP.95).

Where images are recorded -------------------------------------------------------

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).

Eye-Fi cards ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operation has been confirmed with X2-series Eye-Fi cards, a type of SD memory card with built-in wireless LAN. Visit the Eye-Fi website (http://www.eyefi.com) for more information. Note the following:

• If you experience difficulty uploading selected images, make sure that the card does not contain an “EYERICOH” folder. This folder is deleted automatically when the camera is turned on with the card in place.

• Operation is not guaranteed with cards by other manufacturers offering similar functions. Eye-Fi-related menu options and upload icons are displayed only with Eye-Fi cards.

• Functionality (including wireless LAN support) is not guaranteed when Eye-Fi cards are with this product. Eye-Fi cards are authorized for use only in the country of purchase. All inquiries concerning Eye-Fi cards and their use should be directed to their manufacturer.

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

• If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera does not record to the internal memory, even if the card is full.

• Take care not to get the contacts of the card dirty.

Write-protecting your images ----------------------------------------------------

Move the write-protection switch on the SD memory card to LOCK to prevent your still images from being accidentally erased or the card from being formatted.

Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because no data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card before shooting. Although SD WORM cards do not have a writeprotection switch, they can not be formatted, and data can not be deleted.

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

• The [Copy to Card from Internal Memory] item (GP.85) in the playback menu (GP.84) can be used to copy the pictures in internal memory to a memory card.

At shipment, [CALS Pic Quality] is set to [a 4 : 3 N] (normal image quality, 1280 × 960 pixels, with a file size of about 363 KB) to conform to the Japanese standard for official public works photographs, which requires that images be 1 megapixel with a file size of 500 KB or less.

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

• When the mode dial is set to a mode other than CALS, [Picture Quality/size] returns to the setting in the previous mode.

• You can register [CALS Pic Quality] as My Settings (GP.106).

Shooting with My Settings Mode

Rotate the mode dial to T or U to take photos using settings saved with the [Reg. My Settings] option in the setup menu (GP.106).

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

You can change the camera settings set in my settings mode. Changing the mode or turning the camera off returns the settings to the original MY1 and MY2 settings.

About the Histogram Display

4:3 N

When Histogram is on, a histogram appears in the lower right corner on the

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

picture display. A histogram is a graph

indicating the number of pixels on the vertical axis and the brightness on the 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.89).

• 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.81.

Watermark options: Use an existing photo as a template, allowing you to match composition or distance when taking new pictures of the same subject. See P.56 for details. Movie: Allows you to shoot movies with sound. For detailed operations, see P.58.

High Sens: Use when taking pictures in dimly lit places. The picture display also becomes brighter.

Firefighting: Use to capture images under difficult conditions such as the scene of a fire. The focal length is fixed to 2.5 m, allowing you to take clear pictures in a situation where the auto focus would normally produce blurred images due to flames, smoke and water vapor. Increasing the ISO sensitivity extends the range of the flash, and prevents camera shake by controlling the shutter speed even when the flash is not used. The sharpness level is also increased in this mode and the picture display becomes brighter and is suited for firefighting. Skew Correct Mode: Reduce the effects of perspective when photographing rectangular objects, such as message boards or business cards. See P.57 for details. Image size can be set to [c 4 : 3 F], [c 4 : 3 N], [a 4 : 3 F], [a 4 : 3 N], [z 4 : 3 F], or [z 4 : 3 N] using the [Picture Quality/Size] option (G P.73) in the shooting menu (G P.72). Text mode: Use when capturing text images, for example notes written on a whiteboard at a meeting. Images are captured in black and white. Image size can be set to [o 4 : 3] or [c 4 : 3] using the [Size] option (GP.73) in the shooting menu (GP.72). Zoom Macro: The camera automatically zooms to the optimal zoom position to shoot at a higher magnification than in normal macro shooting. Optical zoom can not be used.
