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.

Handling the AC Adapter Correctly

Be sure to use only the specified AC adapter (CEX0107A or ADP-15HH A). Using a

different AC adapter might cause the camera to malfunction.

Before using the AC adapter, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions

( page 6) and the notes described below:

• Do not allow the connectors on the AC adapter to contact any other metal object because

this might cause a short circuit.

• To connect the AC adapter, fully insert the plug on the AC adapter into the DC IN 5V

terminal on the camera.

• When removing the AC adapter cable, turn the camera off, then disconnect the cable while

holding its plug. Do not disconnect the cable by pulling the actual cable.

• Do not drop the AC adapter or subject it to strong impacts.

• Do not use the AC adapter in very hot and humid places.

• Do not insert the plug on the AC adapter while the battery is being used. Switch the camera

off first.

• The AC adapter is for indoor use only.

• Do not connect the supplied AC adapter to a device other than this camera.

• The AC adapter may sometimes become warm during use. This does not designate

malfunction.

• Buzzing noises may come form inside the camera. This does not designate malfunction.

• Do not use the AC adapter near a radio because it could interfere with the radio.

• If you remove the battery or AC adapter while the camera is in operation, the date may be

lost from the memory. If this happens, reset the date.

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.

returning to the initial default settings. Should this happen, please perform the

settings again.

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

card or the data in the SD card.

• An SD card used with another model or device cannot be used with this camera

as it is. Reformat it by this camera before taking photographs (

page 94).

• This camera does not support MultiMediaCard

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.

Photographs

Auto photography is a typical method of photography. Photographs can be taken simply

because the exposure (i.e., the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting) is

controlled automatically to suit the photographic conditions.

Prepare for photography.

Insert the battery ( page 20) and the SD card ( page 24) into the camera.

Press the POWER button to turn the power on.

Set the mode dial to [ ].

Compose the picture while viewing the LCD monitor or

the viewfinder.

When using the viewfinder, turn the “diopter adjustment dial” until the viewfinder

image is displayed clearly.

When the LCD monitor is too bright or too dark, adjust the brightness.
