Connecting the camera to a computer  
Using an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card  
The battery can be charged by connecting the camera to  
a computer.  
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.  
Using an optional USB-AC adapter  
An F-3AC USB-AC adapter (available separately) is  
recommended if the camera will be used for extended  
periods.  
SD/SDHCC/SDXXC card wriite-proteect swwitch

Static images displayed on organic EL monitors for extended  
periods of time may “burn in”, causing a drop in brightness  
or discoloration in some areas of the display, which may be  
permanent in some cases. This phenomenon has no effect on  
images recorded with the camera.  
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.  
Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may  
cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on  
the CCD, or may possibly cause res.  
A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but  
this is not a malfunction.  
When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the  
edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a  
malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.  
Although the monitor is manufactured using high-precision  
technology, some pixels may always be lit or may never light,  
and color and brightness may vary with the viewing angle.  
This is normal for this type of monitor and does not indicate a  
malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.  
Do not push or pull severely on the lens.  
Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the  
batteries. Select a cool, dry location for storage to prevent  
condensation or mold from forming inside the camera. After  
storage, test the camera by turning it on and pressing the  
shutter button to make sure that it is operating normally.  
The camera may malfunction if it is used in a location where  
it is subject to a magnetic/electromagnetic eld, radio waves,  
or high voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, video  
game, loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or  
transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and on  
again before further operation.
