• It is normal for the camera to become warm during operation, because metal camera cas-
ing can conduct heat.
• The LCD display on this camera is manufactured with sophisticated technology, and
more than 99.99% of the pixels on the LCD display meet standard specifications. Yet, it is
possible that less than 0.01% of the pixels on the LCD display may have some light spots
or show unusual colors. This is normal and does not indicate display malfunction, nor
will this affect the pictures you take with the camera.

2Preparing Your Camera for Use
2.1 Installing the battery
We highly recommend that you use only the specified
rechargeable lithium-ion battery for your camera. Make sure
that the power of the camera is off before inserting or
removing the battery.
To insert the battery:
1. Slide the battery / SD memory card cover.
2. Insert the battery in the correct orientation shown.
• Tilt the battery lock lever and orient the battery in the
direction of the arrow, so that its label is facing to the front side of the camera, and then
insert the battery.
3. Close the battery / SD memory card cover.
To remove the battery:
1. Slide the battery / SD memory card cover.
2. Release the battery lock lever.
3. When the battery has come out a little, gently pull it out the rest of the way.
2.2 Charging the battery
The battery charge status affects the performance of the camera.
To maximize the performance and life of the battery, it is
recommended that you fully charge the battery using the
specified charger set (charger and AC power adapter), and then
fully discharge it through the normal use at least one time.
1. Insert the battery into the charger as shown in the
illustration.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the charger.
3. Connect the other end of the AC power adapter to a wall outlet.
4. When the battery is being charged, the charger LED indicator lights up in red. When the
battery is fully charged, it turns into green.
The length of the charging time depends on the ambient temperature and the status of
the battery.
• The camera must be used with the specified charger set. Damage caused by the use of an
incorrect charger set is not covered under the warranty. Always make sure that the cam-
era is off before removing the battery.
• The battery may be warm after being charged or used. This is normal and not a malfunc-
tion.
• When using the camera in cold environments, keep the camera and its battery warm by
holding it inside your jacket or other warm protective environment.

Preparing Your Camera for Use4

2.3 Inserting and removing an SD memory card (optional
accessory)
The camera is equipped with internal memory, allowing you

1. Always make sure the camera is turned off before
inserting or removing a memory card.
2. Insert an SD memory card in the correct orientation as
shown in the illustration.
3. Close the battery / SD memory card cover.
To remove the SD memory card, make sure the camera is turned off. Press lightly on the
edge of the memory card and it will eject.
• Be sure to format the SD memory card with this cam-
era before the initial use.
• To prevent valuable data from being accidentally
erased from an SD memory card, you can slide the
write-protect tab (on the side of the SD memory card)
to “LOCK”.
• To save, edit, or erase data on an SD memory card,
you must unlock the card.
• SD memory card in the following sizes are supported: 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128
MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB (plus 4 GB SDHC). The camera is compatible with SD

Negative (-) Compensation

Using the Camera 11
English
•Spot lighted subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds
•Imaging of printed text (white characters on black paper)
•Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage
3.1.10.1.5 White Balance
When the brightness of the light changes, our eyes adapt the difference so that the white
object remains white. For digital still cameras, they can also see the white object as white by
averaging the light around the subject.
The camera determines the white balance by averaging the various kinds of light that actually
enters the lens. You may set in advance the white balance when taking photographs under
specific lighting conditions.
[Auto]: Automatically adjusting the white balance.
[Daylight]: For recording outdoors on a bright day.
[Cloudy]: For recording overcast, shaded, twilight or evening skies.

Monochrome) for you to match as you wish. Your images will demonstrate different
impressions by choosing different types of colors.

[Vivid]: Vivid
[Sepia]: Sepia
[Monochrome]: Monochrome
3.1.10.2 Saturation
To capture an image, the camera offers you three different degrees of colors (High / Medium
/ Low) to match your preference. Your images will give different impressions by choosing the
different degrees of colors. This is called Saturation.
3.1.10.2.1 Sharpness
Your camera will automatically emphasize the borders between light and dark areas of the
image. This will make the image’s edges look sharper.
[High]: Hard touch
[Medium]: Normal touch
[Low]: Soft touch
