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.
Recharge a battery pack in the following cases
i A battery pack which has not been used for a long time
i Newly purchased battery pack

Problem with the battery pack or battery pack charger
i Immediately remove the battery pack from the charger.
i Do not use an abnormal battery pack. (The usable life of
the battery pack has probably expired.)
CHARGE indicator
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.

About the auto power off function
In order to preserve battery pack power when, for example, the camera has
accidentally been left on, the camera is furnished with an “auto power off”
function by which the camera automatically turns off after a certain period of
inactivity (about 1 minute during shooting or about 3 minutes during playback
[factory default settings]).

the on/off button or the playback button [=] to turn it back on.
i You can change the setting for the time elapsed before the camera

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
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 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

i
subject is successfully focused, or a red
focus indicator when the camera was not
able to focus the subject.

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

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

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.
