(Model DB-L10).  
weggooien, maar  
inleveren als KCA.  
B If there is leaking, discoloration, change of shape, rise in  
temperature, damaged exterior, strange odor or any other  
abnormal condition, immediately discontinue use and  
remove the battery pack from the camera, taking care to  
keep it well away from fire.  
œ Continued use of the battery pack under any of these  
conditions may result in fire, injury, explosion or other  
serious damage.  
œ If battery fluid is leaking, placing the battery pack in close  
proximity to a fire or other heat source may ignite the  
battery fluid and result in fire, damage, eruption of battery  
fluid, or smoke fumes.  
B Do not transform, take apart, or modify.  
œ Safety mechanisms and protective devices have been in  
incorporation in the battery pack for the purpose of  
preventing danger. Any modification, by transforming,  
disassembling, or directly soldering to it, etc., will defeat  
these safety devices and possibly cause the battery pack to  
catch fire, explode, or leak or spew battery fluid.  
B Do not connect the (+) and (–) terminals with a wire or other  
metal implement. Do not carry loose or keep with necklaces,  
hairpins, etc.  
œ Doing so may result in a short circuit, high voltage flow, fire,  
explosion, leaking or spewing battery fluid, or heat  
generation. Metal such as a wire or necklace, etc. may  
cause heat to be generated.  
B Do not throw the battery pack in the fire or subject it to heat  
œ Doing so may cause the insulation to melt, damage the gas  
discharge valve and safety mechanisms, or ignite the  
battery fluid, resulting in fire or explosion.

15 English  
B Do not drop, hit, or submit the battery pack to strong shocks  
œ If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are  
broken, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur inside  
the battery pack, or cause the battery pack to catch fire,  
explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.  
B Do not allow the battery pack to come into contact with  
fresh or salt water, or allow the terminals to become wet.  
œ If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are  
damaged by corrosion, an abnormal chemical reaction may  
occur inside the battery pack, or cause the battery pack to  
catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate  
heat.  
B Cautions regarding the correct environment for using and  
storing the battery pack  
œ Temperature when using or recharging: 0 to 40°C  
Do not use, recharge, store or leave the battery pack near fire or inside  
a car exposed to the hot sun, etc. (locations in which the temperature  
reaches 60°C or higher).  
At high temperatures, the safety mechanisms and protective devices  
inside the battery pack may be damaged by corrosion, causing an  
abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or cause the battery pack to catch  
fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat. If the safety  
mechanisms and protective devices are damaged, the battery pack will  
become unusable.  
An environment with extremely high or low temperatures will cause the  
battery capacity to deteriorate and shorten the usable time, and may  
even shorten the battery life.  
Avoid storing the battery pack with it near full charge. It is recommended  
to store the battery pack when it is near fully discharged.  
If the battery pack is completely discharged, it may become unable to be

2
3
Turn off the digital camera and remove the battery pack.  
Remove the dirt with a soft cloth.  
If the digital camera is extremely dirty, wipe with a soft cloth  
moistened with a mild detergent diluted with water and wrung dry.  
Caution  
œ Do not use benzene or thinner products to clean the digital camera. Doing  
so may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling. When using a  
chemically treated cloth, carefully read its instructions and warnings.  
œ Do not spray insecticides or volatile sprays on the digital camera. Do not let  
rubber or vinyl objects contact the digital camera for a long period. They  
may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling.  
B Caution concerning the battery pack  
œ Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the  
batteries.  
Do not touch the battery terminals with your bare hands. Doing so will allow  
contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize,  
increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the  
usable life of the batteries will diminish.  
B Caution when cleaning the lens  
œ If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning  
cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.

Using the Autofocus  
The autofocus will work in almost all situations; however, there are certain  
conditions that may cause the autofocus function to not work properly. If the  
autofocus function is not working properly, set the focus range or the focus  
area to capture images (see page 103).  
B Conditions that may cause incorrect focus  
The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus  
function may not work.  
œ Subjects with low contrast, very  
bright subjects at the center of the  
image, or dark subjects or locations  
Use the focus-lock function (see page  
42) to lock the focus on an object with  
contrast at the same distance as the  
desired subject.  
œ Subjects without vertical lines  
Use the focus-lock function to lock the  
focus on the subject while holding the  
digital camera vertically.  
The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus  
function may work, but not as desired.  
œ When both near and far objects are  
present  
Use the focus-lock function to lock the  
focus on an object at the same distance  
as the desired subject, then reposition  
the camera to compose the picture.

USING THE AUTOFOCUS  
œ Fast-moving subjects  
Use the focus-lock function to lock the  
focus on an object at the same distance  
as the desired subject, then reposition  
the camera to compose the picture.  
Hints for taking pictures  
Operation sounds  
œ The operation sounds that are generated, for example, when the power is  
turned on or off, or the shutter release button, MENU button, MODE button  
or SET button is pressed, as well as the audio guidance when you switch  
the mode can be muted (see page 141).  
Saving battery pack power  
œ When you take pictures without using the LCD monitor, you can slow down  
the rate of battery pack consumption (see page 70).  
Where is the image and audio data saved?  
œ All the image and sound data is recorded on the card installed in the  
camera (see page 160).  
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...  
œ When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to  
the characteristics of the lens, 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.  
While the image data is being recorded...  
œ The accessing indicator will light orange while the image is being written to  
the memory. Another image can be captured only after the accessing  
indicator lights green again. However, even when the accessing indicator is  
lit orange, depending on the camera’s internal memory remaining capacity,  
in some cases about 2 seconds after shooting the next image can be  
captured.

SHOOTING IN THE BASIC MODE  
In the BASIC mode the number of settings the user has to deal with are few,  
making it easy for the novice digital camera operator to enjoy taking photos. It  
is recommended that the user who is new to digital camera operation or not  
familiar with the various settings take photos using the basic settings of this  
mode.  
Switching between the operation modes  
This camera allows you to choose between two operation modes: in the  
BASIC mode, you can enjoy taking photos while letting the camera adjust the  
settings automatically; in the EXPERT mode, you have control of all the  
camera settings. Select the operation mode for the type of photography you  
enjoy.

HINT  
œ At a B resolution, the camera processes the captured image internally to  
produce a 2880 x 2160-pixel image.  
œ When capturing images at a B resolution, it takes 4 seconds after the  
shutter release button is pressed before the data is recorded (when using  
the supplied SD Memory Card).  
NOTE  
œ The digital zoom cannot be used when the resolution is set to B.  
About the resolution and compression settings (see page 101)  
œ The image captured by a digital camera consists of a collection of small  
dots. The resolution refers to the number of these dots, and the greater the  
number, the higher the image quality. As the resolution increases, the size  
of the resulting data also increases, and the number of images that can be  
captured decreases. To compensate for this, this digital camera is able to  
compress the data. This digital camera uses JPEG compression. If JPEG  
compression is used, when the image is played back, an extremely small  
portion of it is lost. The higher the compression rate, the more of the  
original image is lost.  
Therefore, in the still image and sequential shots shooting modes, this  
digital camera also allows you to store image data at extremely low  
compression to ensure that a minimum of the original image is lost. This is  
the a mode. Since the image data is large when the a mode is used,  
compared to c or b compression, the digital camera requires more  
time both to store the data after the shutter release button is pressed and to  
display the image in the playback mode.

In addition to using your printer to print out still images captured with your  
digital camera, as with conventional film, you can have prints made at shops  
offering digital print services. Moreover, this digital camera is  
DPOF-compatible, so you can use the digital camera to specify the number of  
prints, whether or not the date is displayed on the print, and also to specify an  
index print.

save it as a still image (see page 132).  
About the DPOF format  
œ DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a print order format. It enables highly  
efficient printing from digital cameras and allows DPOF-compatible digital  
cameras to print out to DPOF-compatible printers.  
About the finished prints  
œ Images that have been rotated will be printed in their original orientation.  
œ The quality of the print output will differ depending on the print service and  
printer used.

ASSIGNING FILE NAMES  
If a reformatted 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.

œ If any data is present, you can also check the remaining battery pack  
charge on the Playback Information Screen.  
œ Use only the supplied or separately sold battery pack in this camera.  
œ Battery life may differ even among battery packs of the same type.  
œ Depending on the usage of the digital camera (such as the number of times  
the flash is used, the use of the LCD monitor, etc.) or the environmental  
conditions (temperature, etc.) the number of images that can be saved on a  
fully charged battery pack will vary greatly.  
NOTE  
œ It is recommended that you prepare an extra battery pack(s) 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 pack power  
running out. The same is recommended for taking photos in cold  
environments. (In a ski area, for example, the battery pack can be kept  
warm in your pocket until ready to use.)
