Your camera has an internal memory, which means that you can take photos
even when no card is installed. By using a card, however, you will be able to
take many more photos.
The card can be used after it has been formatted with the camera (page 84).
1 Open the battery/card cover.
h While gently pressing the
battery/card cover, slide it open.
2 Insert the batteries.
h Make sure that the batteries’
polarities (M and N) are
correct.

CAUTION
Be careful when removing the card.
i Do not attempt to forcibly remove the card.
i Never remove the card when the camera is connected to a computer or
printer, or when the self-timer indicator is flashing quickly. In doing so, you
risk losing the data stored in the card.
Manganese batteries cannot be used.
i Not only do manganese batteries have a short battery life, but there is the
danger of their overheating and causing damage to the digital camera.
Other batteries
i If you wish to use batteries other than the alkaline batteries (LR6), we
recommend the following.
h AA-size nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries (SANYO
eneloop HR-3UTG) × 2
h AA-size Ni-Cd batteries (SANYO AA-size 2700 Series HR3-UG) × 2
Do not open the battery/card cover when the camera is turned on.
i If the battery/card cover is opened while the power is on, important data
may be lost. Uniden Corporation shall not be held responsible for any
losses that result from failure to comply with this warning.
HINT
Shooting without a card installed
i When a card is installed, images are recorded to and played back from the
card. When no card is installed, images are recorded to and played back
from the camera’s internal memory. When the camera is turned on with no
card installed, the internal memory icon is shown on the monitor to let
you know that the images you capture will be saved to the camera’s
internal memory.
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 batteries are 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 batteries.
i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it
is therefore recommended that the batteries be removed from the camera
if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the batteries are
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.

About the auto power off function

Hints for taking pictures
Where is the image data saved?
i All the image data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory or on the
card installed in the camera.
i When a card is installed in the camera, the data is recorded on the card. If
no card is installed, the data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory.
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...
i When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to
the characteristics of the CCD, light lines or ghost patterns (flare
phenomenon) may appear in the captured image. In this situation, it is
recommended that you avoid taking pictures with the subject lit from
behind.

What is focus lock?
When the shutter button is pressed
i
halfway, the camera focuses on the
subject, and as long as the shutter button
is kept pressed halfway, the focus is fixed
(locked) at the same distance. This is
called “focus lock”. After focusing on the
subject, you can then reorient the camera
while keeping the shutter button pressed
halfway to compose the picture you like.
What is the camera focusing on?
A target mark & on the monitor shows
i
the area the camera is focusing on.
i
The camera automatically determines the
correct focus by measuring from 9
different focus points within the shooting
area. If the target mark is at a position
that is different from the point you wish to
focus on, you can refocus, for example,
by changing the shooting angle.
i The large target mark appears when
the camera focuses on a wide area in
the center of the screen.
About the focus indicator
A green focus indicator appears when
i
the subject is successfully focused, or a
red focus indicator when the camera was not able to focus the subject.
The shutter speed and aperture are displayed
When the camera focuses and the target mark appears, at the same time, the
i
shutter speed and aperture settings are also displayed. You can use them as a
reference when shooting.
If the motion alert icon appears...
i During still image shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility
that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the
motion alert icon may appear on the monitor. In this case, use a tripod to
stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to
automatic (page 43).
i When shooting with the scene function set to the fireworks ^ mode, the
motion alert icon always appears, but this is normal.

FLASH SETTING
The flash is used for taking pictures where there is insufficient light and when
the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera’s flash has four
modes of operation (automatic flash mode, forced flash mode, flash off mode
and red-eye reduction mode). Select the flash mode that is appropriate for the
surrounding conditions. The flash works only when capturing images in the
still image shooting mode.

shooting mode (page 26), and
press the [l] ([?]) button.
h The flash setting appears on the
monitor.
k: The camera will detect the
subject brightness and use the
flash only when required. In a
backlight situation, if only the
center of the image is very dark,
the flash will operate to
compensate (auto flash).
m: The flash will operate with every
image captured regardless of the
conditions. Use this setting
under backlight conditions, when
the subject is in shade, under
fluorescent lighting conditions,
etc. (forced flash).
l: The flash will not operate even in
dark situations. Use this setting
when capturing an image in a
location where flash
photography is prohibited, or
when shooting a night landscape
scene (flash off).
J: The digital camera will detect the subject brightness and use the
flash only when required. At this time the flash will operate in a
manner that reduces the red reflection (“red-eye”) in the subject’s
eyes (red-eye reduction).

i DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a print order format. You can connect
your camera to a DPOF-compatible printer to produce your prints. You can
also set the print settings (page 102) for the desired images, and then have
the reserved images printed automatically.
About the finished prints
i Images that have been rotated will be printed in their original orientation.
i The quality of the print output will differ depending on the print service and
printer used.
CAUTION
i It is not possible to set the print settings when there are 10,000 or more
files saved on the card.

FILE No. RESET FUNCTION
If a newly formatted (page 84) card is used, the file name (image number) of
the captured image automatically begins from 0001. If the card is
subsequently reformatted, or if a different reformatted card is used, the file
names again begin from 0001. This is because the file number reset function
is set to “ON”, and consequently it results in more than one card containing
images with the same numbers. By setting the file number reset function to
“OFF”, even if the card is reformatted or the card is replaced with another
card, the consecutive numbering of file names continues from the last number
recorded by the camera.

camera on.
h The battery remaining charge
indicator appears in the lower right
corner of the monitor.
h Due to the battery characteristics,
when the ambient temperature is
low, may appear early for an
incorrect indication of the remaining
charge.
Also, depending on the conditions
of use of the camera or the ambient
conditions (temperature, etc.), the
indicated remaining charge may
change. Therefore, this indication

CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE
HINT
i If any data is present, you can also check the remaining battery charge on
the Information Screen (page 71).
i Battery life may differ even among batteries of the same type.
i Depending on the usage of the camera (such as the number of times the
flash is used, etc.) or the ambient temperature (temperatures below 10°C
[50°F]) the number of images that can be saved on fully charged batteries
will vary greatly.
i It is recommended that you prepare extra batteries when taking pictures at
a wedding or while traveling, for example, so you don’t miss capturing
images of important moments due to the battery power running out. The
same is recommended for taking photos in cold environments. (In a ski
area, for example, the batteries can be kept warm in your pocket until
ready to use.)
