RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Be sure to fully charge the supplied 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 96).
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.

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.

Hints for taking pictures
Muting the camera sounds
i The operation sounds that are generated, for example, when the shutter
button, menu button or ok button is pressed, can be muted (page 81).
Where is the image data saved?
i All the image and sound data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory

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.

CAPTURING AND PLAYING BACK STILL IMAGES
4 Release your finger from the shutter button.
h The captured image is recorded.
HINT What is focus lock?
When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on the subject, and
i
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.
When the focus mode (page 58) is set to the 9-point focus mode B...
A target mark & on the monitor shows the area the camera is focusing on.
i 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 the
i
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
i
The shutter speed and aperture settings are also displayed on the monitor. You can use them as a reference when shooting.
If the motion alert icon appears...
During still image shooting, if the shutter
i
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 47).
i
When shooting with the fireworks ^ scene function, the motion alert icon always appears, but this is normal.

If a newly formatted (page 91) 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.
