The state-of-charge of the battery will affect the performance of the
digital still camera. To maximize battery performance and lifetime,
it is recommended that you fully charge the battery using the
optional AC power adapter and then fully discharge it (through
normal use) at least one time. Make sure that the power of the
digital still camera is off and then insert the battery before starting.

Charging time differs depending on the ambient temperature and the status of battery.
Notes
•
•
The battery will also be charged when connected to a PC using the USB cable.
The digital still camera must be used with the specified AC power adapter. Dam-
age caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
Always make sure that the digital still camera is off before removing the battery.
The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being
used. This is normal and not a malfunction.
•
•
•
When using the digital still camera in cold environments, keep the digital still
camera and its battery warm by holding it inside your jacket or other warm pro-
tective environment.

Note
Make sure to use only the AC power adapter specified for the camera. Damage
caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
2.4 Inserting an SD Memory Card (Optional Accessory)
The digital still camera comes with internal memory, allowing you to record video clips,
captured images, or voice files in the digital still camera. However, you can also expand the
memory capacity by using an optional SD (Secure Digital) memory card so that you can store
more files.

inserting or removing a memory card.
2. Insert an SD memory card in the correct orientation as
shown in the illustration.
3. Close the battery/SD memory card cover.

3.2.2.4.1 Using the Digital Zoom
Using a combination of 3 times optical zoom and 4 times digital zoom permits zoom
photography up to 12 times to suit the subject and the distance. Digital zoom is a compelling
feature, however, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more pixilated (grainer) the
image will appear.

Use this function to add a decorative frame around a
