Notes On Handling Battery

When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions and the notes described below.

* The battery is not fully charged when you buy your battery. Be sure to charge the battery

before use.

About Battery Use

• The battery gradually discharges even when not used. Charge the battery one or two days before use.

• To maximize the battery life, switch the camera OFF as often as possible when it is not being used.

• In cold locations, the number of frames that can be taken decreases. Take along a spare fully charged battery. You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the battery in your pocket or another warm place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a picture.

• Always keep the terminals in a clean state.

• If the battery is used for a long time, the battery itself will become warm. This is normal and

not a malfunction.

• At normal temperatures (+77°F <+25°C>), this battery can be recharged for use about 300 times. If the battery runs out quickly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

When Not Using the Battery for a Long Time

• When the battery is not in use, be sure to remove it from the camera body. If the battery is left attached to the camera body or battery charger, a minute current will flow even if the power is turned OFF. This will result in over discharge and the battery may no longer be useable.

• If the battery is not to be used for a while, store it after there is no power left. If the battery is stored for a long time in a fully charged state, its performance may be impaired.

• When the battery is to be stored for a long time, fully charge the battery and then use the battery until there is no power left once every year and then store it.

• Store the battery in a cool place. We recommend a dry place with a surrounding temperature of +59°F <+15˚C> to +77°F <+25˚C>. Avoid storing the battery in extremely hot or cold places.

Charging the Battery

• When you use the battery for the first time or when the battery has not been used for a long time, be sure to charge the battery before use.

• Use only the specified AC adapter.

• This battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted before being charged.

• The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This

is normal and not a malfunction.

• The battery can be charged at temperatures between +41°F <+5°C> and +104°F <+40°C>, but should be charged between +50°F <+10°C> and +86°F <+30°C> to obtain maximum battery performance.

• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.

• 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

• Use the power supply indicated on the supplied AC cord. When using power supply other than the displayed voltage in other countries/region, please purchase the AC cord that applies to the standard of the country/region.

• The AC adapter can be used with 100V to 240V.

Page 13

Handling the SD Card Correctly

In this Instruction Manual, the SD memory card is called an SD card. Read and observe the following when handling the supplied SD card.

Cautions

• The SD card includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory (NAND Flash EEP-ROM). Under normal use data saved in the SD card is not damaged or lost. If used improperly, however, the data may be damaged or lost. Please be aware that Toshiba Corporation will accept no responsibility whatsoever for damaged or lost data, regardless of the type or cause of the problem or damage.

• The SD card uses part of the memory as its system area. The actually usable memory capacity is therefore lower than the indicated capacity.

• The supplied SD card has been already formatted for image storage. Always use this camera when reformatting the card to erase images or folders. Formatting the SD card on other devices (PC, etc.) may result in problems such as inability to read or write data.

• We strongly recommend that you make backups of important data.

• When the SD card comes to the end of its life, it does not allow image data to be written or

deleted. If this happens, purchase a new SD card.

• This camera conforms to the SD standard Ver. 1.01.

Write Protection

To prevent valuable data from being erased accidentally, switch the write protect tab at the side of the SD card to “LOCK.” To save, edit, or erase data in the card, cancel the write protection state.

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

The indicator lights red when charging is started and turns green when charging is completed. It blinks red when a charging error occurs.

Important

• If any problem occurs during charging, 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.

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.

Conditions: +77°F (+25°C), Flash use rate 100% Photography interval: 1 frame every 30 seconds Possible number of shots: 120 shots * The number of frames shown above is a reference value.

Using the battery efficiently

• This camera consumes electricity even with the power off while the amount is extremely small. We therefore recommend that the battery be removed when not using the camera for a long period of time. If the camera is left without battery about a week, the date, time and other settings may be reset to the factory defaults. If this happens, set the correct date and time again before using the camera.

• When using the camera in cold areas, keep the camera and battery warm by holding them inside your outer cloth.

Battery performance lowered through low temperature will return to normal when a normal temperature is restored (+77°F (+25°C)).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

Photographed Images

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”

Q:Why can’t I focus the camera properly?

A: While this camera has a precise auto focus mechanism, this mechanism may not work well

under the conditions and with the subjects described below:

• Subjects moving at high speed

• Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car body

• Subjects with extremely low contrast (such as subjects dressed in the same color as the

background)

• When there are objects in front of or behind the subject (such as an animal in a cage or a person in front of a tree)

• Subjects with little reflection, such as hair or fur

• Subjects with no solidity, such as smoke or flames

• Subjects viewed through glass

In addition, on this camera the focus is usually set on the center of the frame. The focus is, however, set on the background if the subject is not at the center, for example, when shooting two people standing side by side. In such cases, you may try the following:

1) Point the camera so that one of the persons is at the center of the viewfinder.

2) Press the shutter button half way down. (The camera is focused on the person.)

3) While keeping the shutter button in the half-way position, point the camera to compose a desired image, then fully press the shutter button down.

If the focus cannot be adjusted properly, it is locked to infinity (1.5 meters when using the flash).
