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
In order to preserve battery 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]).
i If the auto power save function has operated to turn the camera off, press
the on/off button to turn it back on.
i You can change the setting for the time elapsed before the camera
automatically turns off (page 79).

Cable, the auto power save function is disabled, and the camera turns off
after about 12 hours.
HINT
If the K icon appears...
i When a picture is taken, the date and time it was captured is recorded with
it. When the date and time cannot be recorded with the image because the
date and time have not yet been set (page 19), the K icon appears. To
have the date and time recorded with images, please make this setting

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.

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

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.

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.)

HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES
Taking great pictures in difficult surroundings is easier than you might think.
By keeping a few points in mind and choosing the correct settings, you can
create photos that you’ll be proud to display and share.
Basic photography
If images are blurred even when the autofocus is used
Your camera employs an autofocus function. When you snap a picture using
the autofocus, the camera automatically adjusts the settings so that the
image will be in focus. If you are getting blurred images even when using the
autofocus, one or more of the following might be the reason.
k How the autofocus works
The autofocus is activated when the
shutter button is pressed halfway. Press
the shutter button slightly, and the target
mark will appear on the monitor to indicate
that the autofocus has been activated.
Next, continue to gently press the shutter

button all the way to snap the picture. This
two-step method is the way to ensure that
your photos are perfectly focused.
Target mark
k Reasons for unfocused images
1 The shutter button was pressed fully in one motion.
2 After the image was focused, the subject moved.
h Even if camera focuses the subject once, if the distance between the
camera and the subject is changed, the subject may become out of
focus.
3 The focus setting is not set for the correct distance.
h If you shoot a close-up subject with the camera set to the normal focus
mode, or if you shoot a subject at normal distance with the camera set
to the macro (close-up) mode (page 47), the image will not be in focus.

HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES
k Preventing blurred images
1 Confirm that the camera is set to the correct focus mode for your subject.
2 Hold the camera correctly, and press the shutter button halfway.
3 Wait for the target mark to appear in the monitor, and holding the camera
steady, gently continue to press the shutter button all the way down.
Following these steps for a gentle but firm pressing of the shutter button will
ensure that you get beautifully focused photos.

Shooting with the scene function
Shooting portraits (portrait mode Z)
Points:
i Choose a background that doesn’t detract from
your subject.
i Move in close to your subject.
i Pay attention to lighting and how it affects your
subject.
NOTE
i If the background is distracting, it will not show
your subject to his best advantage. Move in closer to your subject or zoom
in so that the background does not compete with the subject.
i In portrait photography your subject is clearly the central figure, so try
techniques that allow the subject to stand out.
i If light is coming from behind your subject (backlit), his face will appear
dark. You can get a better picture by using the flash, for example, or
changing the exposure setting.
Photographing moving subjects (sports mode Y)
Points:
i Match the camera’s movement with that of the
subject.
i Set the zoom to the Wide end (wide-angle).
i Don’t be too hesitant to press the shutter
button, or you’ll miss the action.
NOTE
i Tips to not missing those great action shots:
Make sure you’re holding the camera correctly. Keep the subject in the lens
at all times, moving the camera with him while waiting for the right shot.
Move your whole body–not just your arms–with the camera while shooting.
i Blurred images are more likely when the zoom is set to the Tele end than
the Wide end. Set the zoom as close as possible to the Wide end.
i Learn to press the shutter button quickly yet smoothly the instant your
photo chance occurs.

Night photography (night view portrait mode ])
Points:
i Avoid camera shake.
i Increase the ISO sensitivity.
NOTE
i Camera shutter speed during night
photography is considerably slower, so there is
a much greater chance that your photographed
images will be blurry. Use a tripod whenever possible, or if a tripod is not
available, you can lean against a wall or pillar to help stabilize the camera.
i You can photograph your subject with the night scene in the background by
using the flash. Be careful not to shoot too close to the subject or your
subject’s face will appear too bright.
i After the flash operates, keep the camera and the subjects motionless for
about 2 seconds.
Photographing scenery (landscape mode \)
Points:
i Shoot using a high resolution.
i For zoom photography, use the optical zoom.
i Pay attention to picture composition.
NOTE
i When shooting with a wide-angle setting, or if
you intend to enlarge the photo, the higher the
resolution, the better.
i To zoom in on distant scenery, it’s better to use the optical zoom. Using the
digital zoom produces a coarser image. Hold the camera securely, keeping
your elbows close to your body and making sure the camera is stable.
Using a tripod or other means of stabilizing the camera will increase the
likelihood of getting a clear photo.
i Don’t forget to pay attention to picture composition; note perspective and
be aware of how the placement of objects affects the scene.
