Charging the battery pack

Be sure to fully charge the supplied or separately sold 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.

Does the battery pack feel hot?

  • During charging, 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 charging...

  • Move the battery pack and charger further away from the TV or radio.

Ambient temperature during charging

  • It is recommended that the ambient temperature during charging be between about 10^ and 35^ ( 50^ and 95^ ). Due to the characteristics of the battery pack, at temperatures below 0^ ( 32^ ), it may not be possible to sufficiently charge it.
  • When the battery pack temperature is high, the safety function may be activated and halt charging.

Charge a battery pack in the following cases

  • A battery pack which has not been used for a long time
  • Newly purchased battery pack

FOR AMERICAN USERS:

  • Use a UL Listed, 1.8 to 3m (6 to 10 ft.), Type SPT-2 or NiSPT-2, AWG No.18 power supply cord, rated for 125V7A , with a non-polarized NEMA 1-15P plug rated for 125V15A .

CAUTION

Do not charge the battery pack immediately after the camera has been in continuous use for a long time

  • The battery pack becomes hot when the camera is used continuously for a long time. If you attempt to charge the battery pack in this state, the safety function may be activated and it may not be possible to charge the battery pack. Wait until the battery pack has cooled down before attempting to charge it.

INSTALLING THE CARD

CAUTION

Does the battery pack appear swollen?

  • The lithium-ion battery used in this camera may expand slightly when stored in a hot environment or repeatedly used, but this is not a safety hazard. However, a battery that is difficult to insert because it has become swollen may then be impossible to extract from the battery compartment. In this case, please discontinue its use and replace it with a new battery.

Do not use the battery with the outer covering or label removed

  • Doing so may result in malfunction.

HINT

About the internal backup battery

  • 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

  • A small amount of power is still used even if the 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.

To prolong the life of the battery pack

  • Although the battery pack is an expendable item, you can maximize the life of the battery by heeding the following suggestions.

  • Do not leave the battery under the hot summer sun or exposed to other high-temperature environments.

  • Do not continually recharge the battery when it is already fully charged. After fully charging it once, for example, use it for a while to partially discharge it before recharging it again.
  • When the battery is not to be used for a long time, if possible store the partially charged (not fully charged) battery in a cool environment.

About the temperature alert icon

SANYO VPC-CG102BK - About the temperature alert icon - 1

During camera use, if the temperature of the battery or inside the camera (excluding the battery) rises, a temperature alert icon will appear as described below.

- When the battery or internal camera (excluding battery) temperature rises during use

  • During camera use, if the temperature of the battery or inside the camera (excluding the battery) rises, a icon lights on the monitor. It is still possible to record and play back even when the icon is lit; however it is advised that you discontinue use as soon as possible and turn the camera off.
  • If the temperature rises further, the icon will start to flash, and the camera will turn off automatically.

The camera cannot be turned on until the temperature has dropped (or as long as the icon remains flashing). Please wait until the temperature has dropped before resuming use.

  • During video recording, a countdown indicator will show the time starting about 15 seconds before shutdown. When the indicator shows 0 seconds, recording stops.
  • If the camera is turned off while the temperature is high (that is, while the icon is flashing), it cannot be turned on again until the temperature has dropped (or as long as the icon remains flashing).

TURING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF

17 English

Turning on the camera when the power save (sleep) mode is active

In order to preserve battery pack power, the power save (sleep) function will automatically turn off the camera after about 1 minute of no use during shooting, or about 5 minutes of no use during playback (factory-preset setting).

  • When the power save mode is active, you can restore the power by any of the following methods:

  • Press the ON/OFF button.

  • Press the [ ] button.
  • Open the monitor unit.

  • After the power save mode has been active for about 1 hour, the camera will switch to the standby mode. In this case, you can restore the power by pressing the ON/OFF button, or by closing and then opening the monitor unit.

  • When the AC adaptor (optional) is connected, the power save mode will become active about 5 minutes after the camera is turned on (factory-preset setting).
  • When the camera is connected to a computer or printer, the power save mode becomes active after about 12 hours.

HINT

To immediately activate the power save mode

  • Press the ON/OFF button briefly to activate the power save function.

CAUTION

If the ? icon appears...

  • When a picture is taken, the date and time it was captured are recorded with it. If the date and time settings have not been completed (page 20), the date and time cannot be recorded with the captured images. For this reason, immediately after the camera is turned on, the "Set date and time" reminder briefly appears, after which the icon is shown on the Recording Screen. To have the date and time recorded with the images, please complete this setting before capturing images.

  • Due to the characteristics of the camera, the outer surface may become warm during use, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
  • If the camera starts to feel uncomfortably hot during use, you might temporarily discontinue use until it cools down, or try holding it in your other hand for a while.

Please use a tripod or other support when using the camera for a long time.

DATE AND TIME SETTING

The camera will record the date and time an image or audio recording is taken so that you can display them during playback. Therefore, before capturing images, make sure the correct date and time are set.

To correct the date and time setting, please see under HINT on page 22.

When recording video clips at a high magnification

  • When recording video clips at a high magnification, a moving subject or moving camera can cause camera shake, resulting in a distorted playback image. This phenomenon is due to the characteristics of the CMOS sensor and is not a malfunction.
  • It is recommended that you use a tripod to stabilize the camera when recording video clips at a high magnification.

About the "12x Advanced Zoom"

  • During video clip recording, the "12x Advanced Zoom" function makes it possible to electronically magnify the image with no image degradation, and increase the magnification to a maximum 12x.

When the ZOOM RANGE button is pressed...

  • The magnification is approximately doubled (double-range zoom). Press the button again to return to normal magnification.
  • The [W] icon is shown on the Recording Screen during normal magnification, and a [T] icon on the double-range zoom Recording Screen.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you have a question about the camera operation, you might find the answer in this compilation of commonly asked questions.

QuestionAnswerAction
PowerWhy doesn't the power turn on?Due to cold temperatures, the battery pack temporarily lost its power.Place the camera in your pocket to warm it up before using it.
Why is the battery pack consumed so quickly even after it was fully recharged?The ambient temperature is very low.Keep the battery pack in an environment of 10 to 40 °C (50 to 104 °F).
The battery pack life has expired.If a battery becomes depleted quickly even after it was sufficiently charged, it should be assumed that the battery has reached the end of its service life. Please replace it with a new battery.
Why doesn't recharging end?The battery pack life has expired.Replace with a new battery pack. If this is not effective, consult your dealer.
Why does the icon appear?The remaining battery pack power is low.Use the AC adaptor (optional), or replace the battery pack with a fully charged one.
ShootingWhy does the multi-indicator flash red?A recorded file is being saved on the card or internal memory.Not a malfunction. Wait until the multi-indicator turns off.
Why doesn't the flash operate?The camera has determined that the image is bright enough and the flash is not necessary.Not a malfunction. Capture the image; the camera will determine when the flash is necessary.
ShootingAre the settings retained even after the camera is turned off?All settings except the self-timer and the exposure compensation are retained even after the camera is turned off.
Which resolution setting should I use?Select the resolution setting according to the intended use. 16M, 12M, 14M+H, 14M+S, 10M, 14M=: Appropriate for printing letter-size or larger, and for printing a close-up of part of a photo (trimming). 2M, 2M, 2M+: For printing standard photo (photo service) sizes. 0.3M: For photos displayed on a web page, or sent as e-mail attachments.
ShootingWhat is the difference between the digital zoom and the optical zoom?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 the other hand, works by magnifying a portion of the image that hits the image sensor and may produce a coarser image.
How can I get the distant view into focus?Set the scene select function to the landscape mode when photographing. Or, set the focus range setting to manual focus (MF), and set the distance to ∞.
MonitorWhen used in cold weather, why does the image seem to leave traces as it moves?Condition due to the monitor characteristics.Not a malfunction. Spots that appear in the monitor only appear in the monitor and will not be recorded with the images.
Why does the displayed image contain some red, blue and green dots, or why are black spots visible?
