Inserting and Removing the Battery (Optional Accessory)

We highly recommend using specified rechargeable lithium-ion battery (3.7V) to realize the full capability of your camera. Charge the battery fully before using the camera. Make sure that the power of the camera is off before inserting or removing the battery.

Inserting the Battery

1. Open the battery / SD memory card cover in the direction of the [OPEN] arrow.
2. Insert the battery in the correct orientation shown.

Tilt the battery lock lever, and then insert the battery in the direction of the arrow.

1. Close the battery / SD memory card cover.

Removing the Battery

Open the battery / SD memory card cover and then release the battery lock lever. When the battery has come out a little, slowly pull it out the rest of the way.

Charging the Battery

Using the optional AC power adapter may charge the battery or operate the camera as power supply. Make sure that the power of the camera is off and then insert the battery before starting.

1. Insert one end of the AC power adapter into the DC IN 5V terminal of the camera.
2. Insert the other end of the AC power adapter into a wall outlet.

The status LED flashes green when charging is started and lights green when charging is completed. The LED lights red when a charging error has occurred.

It is recommended to fully discharge the battery before recharging. Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of battery.

This camera must be used with specified AC power adapter. Damage caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty. Always make sure that the camera is off before removing the battery. The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is normal and not a malfunction. When using the camera in cold conditions, keep the camera and battery warm by storing it in a warm place such as an interior pocket between shots. If you open the battery cover without removing the battery, the battery power will not be disconnected. If you remove the battery, you have to insert the battery within 2 hours in order to make sure that the date and time will not be reset.

Using an AC Power Adapter (Optional Accessory)

Using an AC power adapter prevents the camera from automatically powering off while transferring files to your computer.

Perform the steps in the preceding section "Charging the Battery".

Make sure to use only the AC power adapter specified for the digital camera. Damage caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.

Inserting and Removing an SD Memory Card (Optional Accessory)

The digital camera comes with approx. 32 MB of internal memory (25 MB available for image storage), allowing you to store captured still images or video clips in the digital camera. However, you can also expand the memory capacity by using an optional SD memory card so that you can store more files.

Inserting an SD memory card

1. Open the battery / SD memory card cover.
2. Insert the SD memory card in the correct orientation shown.

Hold the SD memory card with its front side (printed arrow) facing the rear side of the camera, and then insert the card as far as it can go.

1. Close the battery / SD memory card cover.

Removing an SD memory card

Open the battery / SD memory card cover, press lightly on the edge of the SD memory card and it will eject.

• To prevent valuable data from being accidentally erased from an SD memory card you can slide the write-protected tab (on the side of the SD memory card) to "LOCK". However, to save, edit or erase data on an SD memory card, you must unlock the card.
• Be sure to format an SD memory card with this digital camera before using it. Refer to section in this manual titled "Formatting an SD Memory Card or Internal Memory" for further details. To prevent the damage of an SD memory card, please turn off the power when inserting or removing the SD memory card. If inserting or removing the SD memory card with power on, the camera turns off automatically.

Setting the Date and Time

The date/time needs to be set if/when:

■ Camera is turned on for the first time. ■ Camera is turned on after leaving the camera without the battery for an extended period of time.

When the date and time information is not displayed on the LCD monitor, follow these steps to set the correct date and time.

1. Select the displayed language with the ▲ /

▼ buttons and press the SET button. ■ The setting will be stored.

1. To exit from the [Setup2] menu, press the MENU button.

Setting Image Resolution and Quality

Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images.

Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results, but produce large file sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory space. High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page.

To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:

1. Slide the mode switch to [☐] and set the mode dial to one of the photography modes.
2. Press the MENU button.

■ [Capture] of the photography menu is displayed.

1. Select [Size] with the ▲ / ▼ buttons, and press the SET button.
2. Select the desired setting with the ▲ / ▼ buttons, and press the SET button.
3. Select [Quality] with the ▲ / ▼ buttons, and press the SET button.
4. Select the desired setting with the ▲ / ▼ buttons, and press the SET button.
5. To exit from the photography menu, press the MENU button.

■ The frame rate of video recording will vary depending on the access speed of the SD memory card. If a low-access-speed SD memory card is used, it may affect the frame rate and recording time.

PHOTOGRAPHY MODE

[A] Auto Mode

Auto photography mode is the most commonly used photography mode. Images can be captured simply because the exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting) is determined automatically to suit the photographic conditions.

You can use either the optical viewfinder and/or the 2.5" LCD monitor to compose your images. Capturing images using the optical viewfinder will conserve battery power. If the battery power is low, it is recommended that you only compose images using the viewfinder. Using the LCD monitor, you can compose images more accurately, but at the cost of battery consumption. Always use the LCD display for close-up macro shots.

1. Press the POWER button to turn on the camera.
2. Slide the mode switch to [ ] and set the mode dial to [ ]
3. Compose your image in the LCD monitor.

If you are composing your image in the viewfinder, turn the diopter adjustment dial until the image appears clearly within the viewfinder.

1. Press the shutter button down halfway.
2. Pressing the shutter button down halfway automatically focuses and adjusts the exposure. The focus-area frame turns blue and the status LED lights green when the camera is focused and exposure is determined. When the focus or exposure is not suitable, the frame of the focus area turns yellow and the status LED flashes red.
3. Press the shutter button down fully to capture the image.

If the photographic preview is set to "On", images (the captured image) will be displayed while the image is being recorded onto the memory. When the voice memo is set to "On", [VOICE RECORDING] will be displayed on the screen immediately after the image is captured and voice memo recording will start. Press the shutter button one more time during recording, or wait for 30 seconds, [VOICE RECORD END] will be displayed and the recording will end. A [icon] icon is displayed with images that have been recorded with a voice memo.

Recording Voice Memos

A voice memo can be recorded once for 30 seconds at still image mode immediately following a still image capture.

1. Slide the mode switch to [ ] and set the mode dial to one of the photography modes, except for [ ] and [ ] modes.
2. Press the MENU button, and select the [Function] menu with the ▶ button. The [Function] menu is displayed.
3. Select [Dub] with the ▲ / ▼ buttons, and press the SET button.
4. Select [On] with the ▲ / ▼ buttons, and press the SET button.
5. Press the MENU button to exit from the menu.

■ [icon is displayed on the screen.

1. Compose the image, press the shutter button down halfway, then press it down fully.

■ [VOICE RECORDING] is displayed on the screen immediately, and the voice memo recording starts.

1. Press the shutter button one more time during recording, or wait for 30 seconds.

■ [VOICE RECORD END] will be displayed and the recording will end. ■ A [💡] icon is displayed with images that have been recorded with a voice memo.

Using the Digital Zoom

Using a combination of 3 times optical zoom and 10.4 times digital zoom permits zoom photography up to 31.2 times to suit the subject and the distance. While digital zoom can be a useful feature, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more pixelated (grainier) the image will appear.

To activate the digital zoom, press and hold the ♦ button completely until the image on the LCD monitor expands.

1. Press the shutter button to capture a "zoomed" image.

■ The zoom setting is automatically cancelled by either turning the camera off or the activation of the Auto OFF function.

In the flash photography mode, when [4] and [34] are set, the fastest shutter speed is 1/500 second.

[Av] Aperture Priority Mode

In this mode, images are captured with the priority given to aperture. The shutter speed is automatically set according to the aperture. The aperture will affect the depth-of-field of the camera.

If you set a small aperture (higher F value), you can capture portrait images with an out-of-focus background. Alternatively, if you set a large aperture (lower F value), both close objects and distant objects will be in focus, for example when capturing landscape images.

1. You compose the background you want and press the shutter button, which causes a semi-transparent image of the background to remain on the monitor screen.
2. Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your original background, telling him/her to compose the image by using the semi-transparent monitor screen image as a guide.

■ The camera stores the image produced by step 2 only.

■ Depending on how the image is actually composed in step 2, its background may not be exactly the same as the one you composed in step 1.

Freeze the background on the monitor screen.

This operation causes a semi-transparent image of the background to appear on the monitor screen, but the displayed image is not actually saved in camera memory.

1. Now you can stand in front of the background and ask someone else to snap your picture, using the semi-transparent background on the monitor screen as a composition guide.
2. After composing the final image (using the semi-transparent background as a guide), the person with the camera should press the shutter button to record.

■ Note that the semi-transparent background image you temporarily record in step 2 is for composition purposes only. The final image contains only what is in front of the camera when the shutter button is pressed in step 4.

Combining Shots of Two People into a Single Image (Coupling Shot)

* Design and specifications are subject to change without notice. * DSP anti-shake could minimize (not 100% reduce) the jitter from shaky hands that causes many photos to look blurred by shifting the lens unit. This mode offsets unintentional hand movement while you are taking pictures to give you clear, sharp images even when taking handheld telephoto shots or shooting at night. * If the video cannot be playback in the WMP 9.0, please you have to update the renewed of WMP 9.0 from the Microsoft website. * If the access speed of your memory card is not high enough (over 2MB/Sec for random write - 20x SD memory card compliant), the video clip will automatic stop or some unexpected situation may occur while recording. In this case, change into a high-speed memory card or select standard quality.
