In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in  
less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully

under low light conditions. However, high sensitivity  
introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may  
give it a grainy appearance.

(p. 31)  
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for  
taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white  
subjects (such as snow) results in images that are  
darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure  
compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction  
to express whites as they appear. When taking  
pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is  
effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.

Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity  
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity,  
noise (small colored spots and color unevenness  
that were not in the original image) can occur, and  
the image can appear grainy. The resulting image  
is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.

Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower, then  
wipe gently with a lens cleaner.  
The zoom is used repeatedly.  
Battery/USB-AC adapter  
The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in  
shooting mode, activating the auto focus.  
A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended  
period of time.  
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.  
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or  
alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.  
The camera is connected to a printer.  
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left  
dirty.  
Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to  
turn off without displaying the battery level warning.  
The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the time  
of purchase. Use the supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter  
(hereafter referred to as USB-AC adapter) to charge the  
battery before use.  
Storage  
When storing the camera for extended periods, remove  
the battery, USB-AC adapter and card, and keep in a  
cool, dry place that is well ventilated.  
When the included USB-AC adapter is used, charging  
usually takes approximately 3 hours (varies on usage).  
Periodically insert the battery and test the camera  
functions.  
The supplied USB-AC adapter is for charging and  
playback only. Do not take pictures while the USB-AC  
adapter is connected to the camera. The camera cannot  
playback without the battery even when connected to  
the USB-AC adapter.  
Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical  
products are handled since this may result in  
corrosion.  
EN 59  
The included USB-AC adapter is designed to be  
used only with this camera. Other cameras cannot be  
charged with this USB-AC adapter.  
Do not use with other devices.  
For plug-in type USB-AC adapter:  
Using an SD/SDHC memory card  
A card (and internal memory) also corresponds to the  
lm that records images in a lm camera. Otherwise, the  
recorded images (data) can be erased, and retouching is  
also available with the use of a computer. Cards can be  
removed from the camera and exchanged, but this is not  
possible with the internal memory. Use of larger capacity  
cards enables you to take more pictures.  
The included USB-AC adapter is intended to be  
correctly orientated in a vertical or oor mount position.  
Using your USB-AC adapter abroad  
SD/SDHC caard writee-protecct switch  
The USB-AC adapter can be used in most home  
electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V AC  
(50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the  
country or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be  
shaped differently and the USB-AC adapter may require  
a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask  
at your local electrical shop or travel agent.  
The SD/SDHC card body has a write-protect switch. If you  
set the switch to the “LOCK” side, you will not be able to  
write to the card, delete data or format. Release the switch  
to enable writing.  
Do not use travel voltage converters as they could  
damage your USB-AC adapter.
