RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Be sure to fully charge the supplied or separately sold battery pack before using it in your camera. For charging the battery pack, use the supplied charger. Charge the battery pack if it is being used for the first time, and recharge it whenever the remaining charge is low (see “CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE” on page 113).

i During recharging, the charger and battery pack will be warm. This is

normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

If there is interference to your TV or radio during recharging...

i Move the battery pack and charger further away from the TV or radio.

Ambient temperature during recharging

i It is recommended that the ambient temperature during recharging be

between about 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). Due to the characteristics of the battery pack, at temperatures below 0°C (32°F), it may not be possible to sufficiently recharge it.

i When the battery pack temperature is high, it may take longer to recharge

it.

Recharge a battery pack in the following cases

i A battery pack which has not been used for a long time i Newly purchased battery pack

i The battery pack is not installed, or it is not installed

correctly (page 15).

Recharging finished

Problem with the battery pack or battery pack charger

i Immediately remove the battery pack from the charger. i Do not use an abnormal battery pack. (The usable life of

the battery pack has probably expired.)

CHARGE indicator

About the internal backup battery

i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time

settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about 2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the camera settings for about 7 days.

When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack

i A small amount of power is still used even if the digital camera is turned off,

and it is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the camera settings are correct.

TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF

About the auto power off function

In order to preserve battery pack power when, for example, the camera has accidentally been left on, the camera is furnished with an “auto power off” function by which the camera automatically turns off after a certain period of inactivity (about 1 minute during shooting or about 3 minutes during playback [factory default settings]).

i If the auto power save function has operated to turn the camera off, press

the ON/OFF button to turn it back on.

i You can change the setting for the time elapsed before the camera

automatically turns off (page 104).

i When the camera is connected to a computer or printer using the

dedicated USB interface cable, the auto power save function is disabled, and the camera turns off after about 12 hours.

HINT If the K icon appears...

i When a picture is taken, the date and time it was captured is recorded with

it. When the date and time cannot be recorded with the image because the date and time have not yet been set (page 22), the K icon appears. To have the date and time recorded with images, please make this setting before capturing images.

How to hold the camera

Hold the camera securely, keeping your elbows close to your body and making sure the camera is stable.

Correct hold Incorrect hold

A finger is blocking the lens or flash.

Make sure that the lens and flash are not blocked by your fingers or the handstrap.

HINT

i Images captured in the still image shooting mode can be rotated when

they are played back (page 81).

i When the optical zoom is used or when the autofocus is operating, the

About the touch sensor (touch focus)

1/40

F3.1

With the touch sensor, the image is focused simply by a light finger-touch on the shutter button (focus lock). With the subject in focus, just gently press the shutter button to take the picture for a perfectly focused image. At the same time, the touch sensor is temporarily deactivated whenever the Recording Menu (page 62) is displayed, thereby facilitating operation of these screens. Furthermore, you can also deactivate the touch sensor so that the autofocus operates only when you press the shutter button halfway (page 65).

BEFORE TAKING PICTURES

Using the autofocus

The autofocus will work in almost all situations; however, there are certain conditions that may cause the autofocus function to not work properly. If the autofocus function is not working properly, set the focus range to capture images (page 59).

k Conditions that may cause incorrect focus

The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus function may not work.

i Subjects with low contrast, very bright

subjects at the center of the image or dark subjects or locations

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object with contrast at the same distance as the desired subject.

i Subjects without vertical lines

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus while framing the subject vertically, then re-orient the camera to compose a horizontally framed image.

27 English

The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus function may work, but not as desired.

i When both near and far objects are

present

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object at the same distance as the desired subject, then reposition the camera to compose the picture.

i Fast-moving subjects

Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object at the same distance as the desired subject, then reposition the camera to compose the picture.
