depending on the subject.
• Movie recording time and the storage capacity of still pictures may vary depending
on the capacity of the recording destination (internal memory or SD memory card),
shooting conditions, and the type and manufacturer of the SD memory card.
• When the number of remaining shots is 10,000 or more, “9999” is displayed.

Battery Level Indication
A battery mark appears at the lower right of the picture display to
indicate the battery level. Recharge the battery before it is depleted.
Battery Mark Description
The battery is sufficiently charged.
Green
The battery leve l begins to drop. Recharging the battery or exchanging with
new batteries is recommended.
The battery level is low. Recharge the battery or exchange with new
batteries.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• If you are using AAA nickel-hydrogen batteries or AAA Oxyride batteries, depending
on the type of batteries and usage conditions, may not appear, or or
may instantaneously appear. Check your batteries beforehand.
• If you are using the AC adapter, may appear. This does not indicate a
malfunction and you can continue to use the camera.
If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

Getting Ready
Turn the power on and get ready to shoot.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

removing the battery.
• For information on how to turn the camera off, see P.33.
About the Battery
Rechargeable Battery DB-60 (supplied)
This is a lithium-ion battery. It is economical
because you can recharge it using the battery
charger and use it over and over again.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can also use the following types of batteries.
• AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores)
You can obtain them anywhere, so they are convenient for travel.
However, in a low-temperature environment, the storage capacity of shots will
decrease. Warm the batteries before use. It is recommended that you use the
rechargeable battery when using the camera for a long time.
• AAA Oxyride Batteries (available in stores)
These are not rechargeable batteries, but they can be used longer in a digital camera
than AAA alkaline batteries.
• AAA Nickel-Hydrogen Batteries (available in stores)
These batteries are economical because you can recharge and reuse them over and
over again. Please use a battery charger available in stores.
26
Storage capacity of shots ---------------------------------------------------------------------
• Approximate storage capacity of shots you can take
Battery Type Storage capacity of Shots
Rechargeable Battery (DB-60) Approx. 370
AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores) Approx. 45
• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature:23 degrees Celsius, picture display on, 30
seconds between shots, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after each 10 shots).
• The storage capacity of shots when using AAA alkaline batteries is based on the use
of AAA alkaline batteries manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd.
• The storage capacity 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. For long periods of use, it is recommended that you carry spare batteries.
(Normal Mode)
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The nickel-hydrogen batteries available in stores are not factory-charged. Charge
them before use.
• The nickel-hydrogen batteries may be inert and consequently may not supply power
immediately after they are purchased or when le ft unused for more than a mont h. In
such a case, recharge the batteries two or three times before use. The batteries selfdischarge with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge them before use.
• The life of an AAA alkaline battery depends on the brand and the storage time from
the date of production. In addition, the life of an alkaline battery becomes shorter at
low temperatures.
• Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell and Ni-Cd batteries, cannot be used.
• 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 lithium-ion
battery (DB-60). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

SD Memory Card (available in stores)
You can store still images you have taken either in the camera’s
internal memory or on an SD memory card (available in stores).
The internal memory capacity is approx. 54 MB.
To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a
If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
high-capacity SD memory card.
Where images are recorded-------------------------------------------------------------------
When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera records images to the internal
memory; when an SD memory card is loaded, it records images to the SD memory
card.
When no SD memory card is loaded When an SD memory card is loaded
Records to the internal memory Records to the SD memory card
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. If you unlock the card
(by returning the switch to its original position), it is once again
possible to erase images and format the card.
It is recomme nded to move the write-p rotection switch to LOCK
when you have some important data recorded.
Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because no
data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card before shooting.
