Handling Your Camera

Before using the camera, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions

( page 6) and the notes described below:

Avoid Using or Storing the Camera in the Following Places

• Places subject to humidity, dust, and dirt

• Places subject to direct sunlight

• Places subject to high or low temperature

• Places filled with highly flammable gas

• Places near gasoline, benzene, or paint thinner

• Places subject to strong vibration

• Places subject to smoke or steam

• Places subject to strong magnetic fields (near electric motors, transformers, magnets, etc.)

• Places contacting chemicals (such as pesticides), rubber or vinyl products for a long period

of time

Do not Expose the Camera to Sand

If the camera comes into contact with sand, not only will the camera become damaged,

it will also no longer be repairable.

Take special care when using the camera at the seaside, sandy areas or places where

sand dust is likely to occur.

Pay Attention to Condensation

Due to a sudden change in temperature, such as when you move the camera from a

cold location to a warm one, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of

the camera or on the lens.

When this occurs, turn the power OFF, and wait an hour before using the camera. If

condensation forms on the SD Memory card, remove the SD card, wipe off any

condensation and wait a short time before using it again.

When Cleaning the Camera

• To prevent the lens and the surface of the LCD monitor from being scratched, blow off any

dust from them with a blower brush and lightly wipe with a soft dry cloth.

• Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile liquids such as paint

thinner, benzene, or insecticide because these may react with the camera body and cause

deformation or remove the coating.

Be Careful of Magnetic Fields

Please do not allow items that are easily affected by magnetic fields to come close to

the speaker of the camera; these include credit and cash cards, magnetic passes,

computer diskettes, etc. Doing so could result in data loss and render the item

unusable.

Firmware Version Upgrade

For better use, the firmware of the camera may be upgraded after shipment. The

methods of version upgrade are available in our website.

Charging the Battery

Before starting

Confirm that the power of the camera is off and then load the battery ( page 20).

Insert the AC plug on the AC adapter to an wall outlet.

Insert the appropriate end of the AC cable into the AC

adapter.

Insert the plug of the AC adapter into the DC IN 5 V

connector of the camera.

The Viewfinder LED lights green when charging is started and goes off when

charging is completed. It lights orange when a charging error occurs.

If you wish to use the camera when the battery charging is in progress, use the

camera with the AC adapter connected.

Charge the battery before the camera is used for the first time or when the battery

reserve is low. It takes approximately 4 hours to complete charging.

Important

• If any problem occurs during charging, pull the AC adapter plug out from the wall

outlet, then remove the battery from the camera.

• Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter, make sure to turn the camera

off. Neglecting this could cause malfunction and/or damage the saved image data

even with the battery loaded.

• When using the AC adapter after incorrectly terminating the camera, the camera may

not be correctly initiated. If this happens, turn the power off, then turn it on again.

• If the camera has been used at high temperatures, for example, under the blazing

sun, charging may not start immediately because heat piled up inside the camera

causes the internal sensor to operate. If this happens, wait until the camera cools off

and then perform charging.

Open the battery/SD card cover and then release the battery

lock lever. When the battery has come out a little, slowly pull

it out the rest of the way.

Important

• When removing the battery, be sure to turn off the power of the camera beforehand.

• Removing the battery while the power is on could result in the camera settings

• When removing the battery, please be careful not to drop it by mistake. Removing the battery while the power is on could cause breakdown or the loss of

important data.

Inserting and Removing the SD Card

Images photographed with this camera will be stored in the SD card. Without inserting the

SD card, you cannot take photographs using the camera.

Before starting

Before inserting or removing the SD card, make sure that the power of the camera

is off.

Inserting the SD card

Open the battery/SD card cover.

Insert the SD card in the correct orientation shown.

Hold the SD card with its metal contact end surface

facing the LCD monitor side, then insert the card as

far as it can go.

Close the battery/SD card cover.

Removing the SD card

Open the battery/SD card cover, push the card once so that

the card is slightly ejected, then remove the card slowly.

Important

• Never open the battery/SD card cover or remove the card while the card is being

recorded (the viewfinder LED lights red). Neglecting this could damage the SD

About battery wear

The battery wear may vary depending on length of storage since manufacture of the

battery, temperature of the camera and battery, and operating condition such as flash.

Moreover, if the polarities of the battery (+ or –) and the terminal of the camera that

come in contact with the electrodes are contaminated, electricity will not flow properly

and the camera will decide that the battery are exhausted. When removing and loading

the battery, be careful not to tap these parts. If the parts are contaminated, clean with a

dry cloth.

When using the supplied Lithium-ion battery pack, the number of photographs that can

be taken are shown as below.

Q&A

The following are some frequently asked questions.

Q:Pressing the shutter button does not cause the camera to immediately

take a photograph. Why does this happen?

A: Are you using the “half-shutter” function (pressing the shutter button down halfway)? This camera

adjusts the focus and exposure when the shutter button is pressed down halfway. If you fully

press the shutter button down, the camera first tries to adjust the focus and exposure. After

finding the appropriate values for these, it takes a photograph, resulting in a time lag between

the time when the shutter button is pressed and when a photograph is actually taken.

We recommend using the “half-shutter” function so as not to miss photo opportunities. For this

function, see “Taking Photographs in Auto Photography Mode”

page 28

Q:I tried correcting the image, but I am having trouble doing so.

A: The image you photographed is lighter or darker than expected, or its color is not to your liking.

We are sure that there are those who have experienced this. Though images taken on a digital

still camera can be corrected to match your preference, you will not be able to correct them if you

are not familiar with camera operations. The image viewing software “ACDSee” supplied with the

camera has an auto-correction function which allows anybody to correct images with ease.

1) Start up ACDSee.

2) Open the image you want to correct.

3) Click “Edit” in the “Tool” menu.

The edit screen appears.

4) Click “Auto-adjust” in the “Adjust” menu.

5) Save the corrected image.

* The image itself may reduce the effect of this procedure.

ACDSee has image editing functions other than “Auto-adjust”.

For details, consult the Help file in the application.

Red-Eye Effect

The phenomenon where people’s eyes sometimes appear red in the picture when you

use a flash to photograph them in low-light conditions. This is caused by the light of the

flash reflecting off the inside of the eye.

WAV Format

A standard Windows audio file format.

White Balance

When the brightness of the light changes, the human eye adapts so that a white object

still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras cannot see a

white subject as white until adjusting the balance to suit the color of the ambient light

around the subject. This adjustment process is referred to as matching the white bal-

ance.

DCF (Design rule for Camera File System)

A file system standard defined by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Tech-

nology Industries Association) that is required for exchanging data between digital

cameras or a digital camera and a printer. This standard defines the hierarchy and file

names used when storing image files on SD cards or other recording medium.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

A standard for directly writing print information to the SD card. Files in this format can be

printed easily by printers or photo print service bureaus that support this format.

Exif File Format (Exchangeable Image File Format)

A color still image format for digital cameras approved by the JEITA (Japan Electronics

and Information Technology Industries Association). JPEG-compliant, this format is

compatible with TIFF and JPEG and can be used in image processing software for

most personal computers.

Exposure Compensation

When the screen contains an extremely bright or dark object, the camera automati-

cally adjusts the brightness, resulting in the subject being reproduced darker or lighter.

Exposure compensation adjusts for this.

Formatting

Transforming the contents of the SD card to a recordable state. (This is sometimes

called “initialization”.)

JPEG Format

A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio

can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the worse image quality be-

comes. This format is widely used in the paint software for PCs and on the Internet.
