1
2
Turn off the camera and remove the battery pack.  
Remove the dirt with a soft cloth.  
If the camera is extremely dirty,  
3
Wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent diluted with water  
and wrung dry.  
Caution  
e
Do not use benzene or thinner products to clean the camera.

21 English  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
i Caution concerning the battery pack  
e
Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the batteries.  
Do not touch the battery terminals with your bare hands. Doing so will allow  
contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize,  
increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the  
usable life of the batteries will diminish.  
i Caution when cleaning the lens  
e
If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning  
cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.  
i When not using the camera for a long period  
e
e
Remove the battery pack. However, when the battery pack is removed for a  
long time, the camera functions may begin to not work properly. Periodically  
reinstall the battery pack and check the camera functions.  
If the battery pack is left in the camera, a small amount of power is still used  
even if the camera is turned off. If the battery pack is left in the camera for a  
long period, it may become completely discharged and lose its ability to be  
recharged again.  
i Cautions concerning condensation  
e
Using the camera with condensation inside it may damage the camera.  
If condensation seems likely to form  
e
Place the camera in a plastic bag and seal it, and then wait until the camera  
has reached the ambient temperature.  
Be careful of condensation under the following conditions  
e
When moving the camera suddenly from a cold place to a warm place.  
e
When the ambient temperature changes drastically, such as when a heater  
is turned on to quickly heat the room.  
e
e
When the camera is placed in the path of cool air from an air conditioner.  
When the camera is placed in a location of high humidity.

i Cautions when handling the cards  
e
e
The cards are precision devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject them to  
strong forces or shocks.  
Avoid using or storing the cards in places with extremely high or low  
temperatures, subject to direct sunlight, in a completely closed vehicle, near  
air conditioners or heaters, or in humid or dusty locations.  
e
e
e
Avoid using or storing the cards in locations where strong static electrical  
charges or electrical noise can be easily generated.  
Do not allow the edges of the cards to become contaminated with foreign  
materials. Gently wipe away any contamination with a soft, dry cloth.  
Do not carry the cards in trouser pockets, as the cards may become  
damaged when you sit down or make other movements that may apply  
forces.  
e
e
Before using a new card or a card that was used in other equipment, be  
sure to format it using the camera (see “FORMATTING A CARD” on page  
122).  
When buying commercially available products, carefully read the  
instructions and warnings that come with the card.  
i Caution concerning high temperatures  
e
During shooting, when the internal temperature of the camera becomes  
high, the \ icon will appear on the LCD monitor. When the \ icon  
appears, it is still possible to capture and play back images for a while.  
However, if the temperature rises further, it will become impossible to  
record (although playback will still be possible). In this case, discontinue  
shooting as soon as possible, and wait until the temperature falls before  
using the camera again.  
e
Note that particularly when shooting video clips, soon after the \ icon  
appears, the remaining shooting time indication will appear, and when that  
figure becomes 0, further shooting is impossible.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAMERA  
Your digital movie camera can not only record video clips, you can also take  
still photos and make audio recordings. For example, you can snap a still image  
while shooting a video clip, or make just an audio recording. In addition, by  
using the supplied docking station, it’s easy to hook up your camera to a TV or  
computer.  
Shooting video clips (page 47)  
You expect your camera to record great quality still photos, but you can  
record 640x480-pixel video clips as well. The maximum 30-frames-per-  
second shooting speed guarantees beautiful, flowing movies for you to  
enjoy. Another bonus is the capability to record small file sizes that are  
perfect for uploading to Internet websites.  
Capture still shots while recording a video clip  
(page 49)  
Suppose that while you’re recording a video clip, there’s a scene you’d like  
to keep as a still photo. Your camera makes it possible to record the still  
photo without interrupting the video clip recording.

are played back (page 89). Note that video clips cannot be rotated while they  
are being played back.  
e When the still image shooting button is pressed halfway, the image in the  
LCD monitor may waver vertically. This is the result of internal image  
processing and is not a malfunction. This wavering is not recorded and will  
not affect your images in any way.

BEFORE TAKING PICTURES  
Using the autofocus  
The autofocus will work in almost all situations; however, there are  
certain conditions that may cause the autofocus function to not work  
properly. If the autofocus function is not working properly, set the focus  
range to capture images (page 82).  
i Conditions that may cause incorrect focus  
The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus  
function may not work.  
e Subjects with low contrast, very  
bright subjects at the center of  
the image or dark subjects or  
locations  
Use the focus-lock function to lock  
the focus on an object with contrast  
at the same distance as the  
desired subject.  
e Subjects without vertical lines  
Use the focus-lock function to lock  
the focus on the subject while  
holding the camera vertically.  
The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus  
function may work, but not as desired.  
e When both near and far objects  
are present  
Use the focus-lock function to lock  
the focus on an object at the same  
distance as the desired subject,  
then reposition the camera to  
compose the picture.

e Fast-moving subjects  
Use the focus-lock function to lock  
the focus on an object at the same  
distance as the desired subject,  
then reposition the camera to  
compose the picture.  
Hints for taking pictures  
Muting the operation sounds  
e The operation sounds that are generated, for example, when the still image  
shooting button, MENU button or SET button is pressed, as well as the audio  
guidance when you switch the mode, can be muted (page 108).  
Where is the image and audio data saved?  
e All the image and sound data is recorded on the card installed in the camera.  
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...  
e When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to  
the characteristics of the lens, 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.  
While the image data is being recorded...  
e The multi-indicator will light red while the image is being written to the  
memory. Another image can be captured only after the red light turns off.  
However, even when the multi-indicator is lit red, depending on the camera’s  
internal memory remaining capacity, in some cases the next image can be  
captured about 2 seconds after shooting.

CHANGING THE SHOOTING SETTINGS  
In the BASIC mode, you can change the monitor brightness, the video clip  
image quality and the still image resolution settings.  
Video clip image quality setting  
When it comes to video clips, a larger number of pixels and a higher the  
frame rate means better image quality and smoother playback. On the  
other hand, the file size becomes large and uses more memory. Set the  
image quality to a setting that’s right for your purpose, whether for home  
viewing on a TV or for showing on the Internet, for example.

image captured regardless of  
the conditions. Use this setting  
under backlight conditions,

EDITING VIDEO CLIPS  
You can delete (“cut”) the first part or the last part of a video clip. You can  
choose anywhere in the video clip as the cutting point.  
You can also join two video clips together and save them as one separate clip  
(“joining”).  
Note  
Warning concerning the battery pack remaining charge  
e During the editing of lengthy video clips, the time to process the large  
amount of data can become quite long. To avoid problems caused by the  
battery pack becoming depleted in the middle of video clip editing, before  
starting to edit be sure that a sufficiently charged battery pack is installed in  
the camera, or connect the AC adapter/charger.  
e It is recommended that a computer be used to edit long video clips.  
Procedure to save part of a video clip as a  
separate clip  
Play the video clip, and pause playback  
at the point you want to cut.  
J
Select whether to delete the portion before the cut point or after the  
cut point.  
J
Delete the specified portion.  
eThe specified portion is deleted.  
eThe original video clip is not affected. (You  
can also choose to erase the original video  
clip when the new clip is saved.)

Note  
Caution when editing video clips  
e When editing video clips, do not move the main switch. If you move the main  
switch while editing video clips, not only will the editing not be properly  
completed, but the original video clip may also be erased.  
e By repeating the clipping and joining procedures, you can create exactly the  
video clip you like. Note, however, that as the number or size of the video  
clips increases, the card memory may become full, making it impossible to  
edit the video clips. (The “CARD FULL” message will appear.) In this case,  
you will need to free some of the memory on the card either by deleting data  
that are no longer necessary (page 75), or by performing the procedure to  
erase the original video clip(s) (page 94, 97).

FILE NO. RESET FUNCTION  
If a reformatted 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 PACK CHARGE  
HINT  
e If any data is present, you can also check the remaining battery pack charge  
on the Playback Screen.  
e Use only the supplied or separately sold battery pack in this camera.  
e Battery life may differ even among battery packs of the same type.  
e Depending on the usage of the camera (such as the number of times the  
flash is used, the use of the LCD monitor, etc.) or the ambient temperature  
(temperatures below 10°C) the number of images that can be saved on a  
fully charged battery pack will vary greatly.  
Note  
e It is recommended that you prepare an extra battery pack(s) 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 pack power  
running out. The same is recommended for taking photos in cold  
environments. (In a ski area, for example, the battery pack can be kept warm  
in your pocket until ready to use.)

Because shooting with  
the optical zoom uses  
the optics of a physical  
lens, you can shoot  
without losing minute  
details in the image.  
The digital zoom, on

by magnifying a portion
