Using 3D Photography TZ Taking 3D Pictures Moving subjects are not suited to 3D photography. We recommend shooting still subjects. Pictures have a less pronounced 3D feel as the distance between the camera and background is increased. Pictures may have a less pronounced 3D feel when the subject is dark or when the second picture is not aligned precisely. Be careful of camera shake when shoating at the telephota zoom position. The telephoto zoom position is restricted to an angle of view equivalent to that of about 135 mm lens in 35mm [135] format. The angle of view (le. the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved picture will be narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.

Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions. Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104*F). Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) before use. When the battery temperature is between 45°C and 60°C (113°F and 140°F), the chargeable capacity may decrease. The battery is not charged at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 60°C (140°F). Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally. On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some ofits charge. Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use Xepul pue S2ON [EAUUD2L
XEpUI pue S2JON [EAUUDEL Caring for the Products Ifthe battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations. Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used. When inserted, minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery even when not in use. This may result in excessive draining ofthe battery and complete loss of function. Turning the camera on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life. When the battery level is low, be sure to charge the battery before using it. Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before returning it to storage. After removing the battery from the camera or battery charger, attach the included terminal cover to the battery and store it in a cool place. A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when used at room temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new EN-ELS5 battery. Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Charging AC Adapter +_ Be sure to read and follow the warnings of "For Your Safety" (vi to Ci) thoroughly before using the Charging AC Adapter. +_The Charging AC Adapter EH-69P is for use only with compatible devices. Do not use with another make or model of device +_ The EH-69P is compatible with AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When Using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary. For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency. Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than Charging AC Adapter EH-69P or USB-AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
