Notes About Movie Recording
B Notes About Saving Images or Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing
the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do
not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the
batteries or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in
loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.
B Notes About Recorded Movies
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. When
switching from optical zoom to digital zoom while recording movies, the zoom
operation stops temporarily.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement,
vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be
recorded.
Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is
recommended.
• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored
stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows,
etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the
subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a
malfunction.
B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording
1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) before
starting movie recording.
2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the
intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record)
button to start recording, and modify the composition.

Caring for the Product
Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For
The Camera
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition,
do not touch or apply force to the lens.
Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building
on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent
condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it
to sudden changes in temperature.
Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Doing so could result in loss of data or
camera malfunction.
Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods
when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause the image sensor to
deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.
Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power
Source or Memory Card
Do not remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being saved
or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data
or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.
Notes About the Monitor
• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision;
at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or
defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white,
red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect
on images recorded with the device.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction.
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken
glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or
entering the eyes or mouth.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
95
Notes About Smear
White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor.
This phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the
image sensor; it is characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction.
Smear may also take the form of partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting.
It does not appear in images saved with the camera except in the case of movies.
When shooting movies, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such as the
sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.
Batteries
Precautions for Use
• Note that the batteries may become hot after use.
• Do not use batteries beyond their recommended expiration date.
• Do not turn the camera on and off repeatedly if discharged batteries are inserted in
the camera.
Carrying Spare Batteries
We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting. It
may be difficult to purchase batteries in certain areas.
Charging Batteries
If using optional rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries before taking pictures.
Batteries are not fully charged at the time of purchase.
Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in the operating instructions included
with the battery charger.
Charging Rechargeable Batteries
• Do not mix batteries with different amounts of charge remaining, or batteries of a
different make or model.
• When using EN-MH2 batteries with this camera, charge four batteries at a time using
Battery Charger MH-73. Use only Battery Charger MH-73 to charge EN-MH2 batteries.
• When using Battery Charger MH-73, only charge EN-MH2 batteries.
• EN-MH1 rechargeable Ni-MH batteries cannot be used.
Notes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries
• If you repeatedly charge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries while they still have some
charge remaining, the message Battery exhausted. may be displayed prematurely
when using the batteries. This is due to the “memory effect,” in which the amount of
charge the batteries can hold decreases temporarily. Use the batteries until there is
no charge remaining and they will return to their normal behavior.
• Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries discharge even when not being used. We
recommend charging the batteries just before using them.
Using the Batteries When Cold
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If exhausted batteries are used at
a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and
exchange as necessary. Once warmed, cold batteries may recover some of their charge.

96
Battery Terminals
Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the
battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
Remaining Battery Charge
If you insert discharged batteries into the camera, the camera may indicate that the
batteries have adequate charge remaining. This is a characteristic of batteries.
Recycling Used Batteries
Replace the batteries when they no longer hold a charge. Used batteries are a
valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Memory Cards
Precautions for Use
recommended memory cards.
• Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with
the memory card.
• Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards.
Formatting
• Do not format the memory card using a computer.
• The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into
this camera, be sure to format it with this camera.
We recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera before using
them with this camera.
• Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and
other data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish
to keep before formatting the memory card.
• If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when the
camera is turned on, the memory card must be formatted. If there is data that you
do not want to delete, select No. Copy the necessary data to a computer, etc. If you
want to format the memory card, select Yes. The confirmation dialog will be
displayed. To start formatting, press the k button.
• Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to or
deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the camera
or memory card:
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the
batteries or memory card.
- Turn off the camera.
- Disconnect the AC adapter.

Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with
a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one
end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To
remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a
blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that
Lens
starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges. If this
fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial
lens cleaner.
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other
stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to
apply pressure.
