Using Your Camera Correctly
Before using the camera, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions
(
page 3) and the notes described below:
Handling the Camera
Avoid using or storing the camera in the following places:
• Places subject to humidity, dust, and dirt
• Places subject to direct sunlight
• Places subject to high or low temperature
• Places filled with highly flammable gas
• Places near gasoline, benzene, or paint thinner
• Places subject to strong vibration
• Places subject to smoke or steam
• Places subject to strong magnetic fields (near electric motors, transformers, magnets,
etc.)
• Places contacting chemicals (such as pesticides), rubber or vinyl products for a long
period of time
• Beach, sandy places, or places where sand is likely to be present
If the camera comes into contact with sand, not only will the camera become
damaged, it will also no longer be repairable.
Do not press the touch panel with excessive force or operate
the panel with fingernails or hard pointed objects.
• This might damage the touch panels.
About recycling of rechargeable battery
• Dispose of unnecessary battery properly according to
your local regulations.
• Before disposing of the battery, attach insulating tape
to both the electrodes.
Condensation
• Due to a sudden change in temperature, such as when you move the camera from a
cold location to a warm one, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of
the camera or on the lens. When this occurs, switch the camera off, and wait an hour
before using the camera. If condensation form on the SD card, remove the SD card,
wipe off any condensation and wait a short time before using it again.
Cleaning the Camera
• To prevent the lens and the surface of the LCD monitor from being scratched, blow off
any dust from them with a blower brush and lightly wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile liquids such as
paint thinner, benzene, or insecticide because these may react with the camera body
and cause deformation or remove the coating.

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 tempera-
ture 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.

Handling the AC Adapter Correctly
Be sure to use only the specified AC adapter. Using a different AC adapter might cause
the camera to malfunction.
Before using the AC adapter, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Precautions
(
page 3) and the notes described below:
• Do not allow the connectors on the AC adapter to contact any other metal object because
this might cause a short circuit.
• To connect the AC adapter, fully insert the plug on the AC adapter into the DC IN 5V
terminal on the camera.
• When removing the AC adapter cable, turn the camera off, then disconnect the cable while
holding its plug. Do not disconnect the cable by pulling the actual cable.
• 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
lost from the memory. If this happens, reset the date.

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.
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

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)).

Details about the flash mode
The flash function has the following 4 options:
[
] Auto
The flash fires automatically according to the photographic situation.
[
] Forced flash
The flash always fires. Select this option when the subject is backlit, or in artificial
light (fluorescent lighting, etc.).
[
] Suppressed flash
The flash does not fire. Select this option when taking photographs in sufficient
indoor lighting or at distances too great for the flash to have any effect (theater
performances, indoor sporting events, etc.).
[
] Red-Eye Reduction
When photographed in dark places with a flash, peoples’ eyes in photographs are
sometimes red. This “red-eye” effect is caused by the light of the flash reflecting the
eyes. With this option selected, the flash fires before and when photographs are
taken, so that the red-eye effect is reduced. To reduce the effect, you may also ask
the subject to look directly towards the camera or you may photograph from as close
as possible.

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
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”
page 28.
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).
