RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Be sure to fully charge the supplied battery pack before using it in your
camera. For charging the battery pack, use the supplied charger.
Charge the battery pack if it is being used for the first time, and recharge it
whenever the remaining charge is low (see “CHECKING THE REMAINING
BATTERY CHARGE” on page 96).
i During recharging, the charger and battery pack will be warm. This is
normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
If there is interference to your TV or radio during recharging...
i Move the battery pack and charger further away from the TV or radio.
Ambient temperature during recharging
i It is recommended that the ambient temperature during recharging be
between about 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). Due to the characteristics
of the battery pack, at temperatures below 0°C (32°F), it may not be
possible to sufficiently recharge it.
i When the battery pack temperature is high, it may take longer to recharge
it.
Recharge a battery pack in the following cases
i A battery pack which has not been used for a long time
i Newly purchased battery pack

Problem with the battery pack or battery pack charger
i Immediately remove the battery pack from the charger.
i Do not use an abnormal battery pack. (The usable life of
the battery pack has probably expired.)
About the internal backup battery
i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time
settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the
camera settings for about 7 days.
When not using the camera for a long time,
remove the battery pack
i A small amount of power is still used even if the digital camera is turned off,
and it is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the
camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the
battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may
be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the
camera settings are correct.

CAUTION
Be careful when removing the card.

TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF
About the auto power off function
In order to preserve battery pack power when, for example, the camera has
accidentally been left on, the camera is furnished with an “auto power off”
function by which the camera automatically turns off after a certain period of
inactivity (about 1 minute during shooting or about 3 minutes during playback
[factory default settings]).
i If the auto power save function has operated to turn the camera off, press
the on/off button or the playback button [=] to turn it back on.
i You can change the setting for the time elapsed before the camera
automatically turns off (page 87).
i When the camera is connected to a computer or printer using the
dedicated USB interface cable, the auto power save function is disabled,
and the camera turns off after about 12 hours.
HINT
If the K icon appears...
i When a picture is taken, the date and time it was captured is recorded with
it. When the date and time cannot be recorded with the image because the
date and time have not yet been set (page 20), the K icon appears. To
have the date and time recorded with images, please make this setting
before capturing images.

Hints for taking pictures
Muting the camera sounds
i The operation sounds that are generated, for example, when the shutter
button, menu button or ok button is pressed, can be muted (page 81).
Where is the image data saved?
i All the image and sound data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory
or on the card installed in the camera.
i When a card is installed in the camera, the data is recorded on the card. If
no card is installed, the data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory.
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...
i When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to
the characteristics of the CCD, 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.

What is focus lock?
i
When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on the subject, and
as long as the shutter button is kept pressed halfway, the focus is fixed (locked) at
the same distance. This is called “focus lock”. After focusing on the subject, you can
then reorient the camera while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway to
compose the picture you like.

i
A target mark
&
on the monitor shows the area the camera is focusing on.
The camera automatically determines the
correct focus by measuring from 9 different
focus points within the shooting area. If the
target mark is at a position that is different
from the point you wish to focus on, you
can refocus, for example, by changing the
shooting angle.

AUTO POWER OFF FUNCTION
Your camera has an “auto power off” function whereby the power
automatically turns off after a specified period of inactivity. The auto power off
function works to conserve the battery pack power when the camera is not
being used, or to prevent the battery pack from dying if the camera has
accidentally been left on. You can specify the elapsed time (standby time)
before the auto power off function operates to turn the camera off.

FILE No. RESET FUNCTION
If a newly formatted (page 91) 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.

Reformatting erases the data
i When the card or internal memory is initialized, all the recorded data is
erased. Protected data is also erased, so before reformatting a card, any
data you want to keep should be copied to your personal computer’s hard
disk or other storage medium.
Caution regarding disposing/transferring the card (recovering data from
a reformatted card)
i If a card is reformatted or the data is erased from the card using the
camera or a computer, the card’s control data may be merely modified and
the data itself may not be completely erased from the card.
i If you are disposing of a card or are transferring the card to someone else,
it is recommended that you physically destroy it, or use commercially
available software for erasing card data.

the resolution setting or video clip mode setting (page 55).

CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE
When using the battery pack, the remaining battery pack charge can be
checked on the monitor. Make sure to check this indicator before capturing an
image. For an indication of the possible length of time for battery pack
operation, see page 130.

indicator appears in the lower right

h Due to the battery pack
characteristics, when the ambient
temperature is low,

indication of the remaining charge.

CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE
HINT
i If any data is present, you can also check the remaining battery pack
charge on the Information Screen (page 77).
i Battery life may differ even among battery packs of the same type.
i Depending on the usage of the camera (such as the number of times the
flash is used, etc.) or the ambient temperature (temperatures below 10°C
[50°F]) the number of images that can be saved on a fully charged battery
pack will vary greatly.
i 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.)
