Installing the Battery
The P-1000 comes with a Lithium-ion battery. Follow these steps to
install it:
1Slide the battery cover release button to unlock the battery cover.
2Slide the cover off.
3Insert the battery into the compartment, aligning the +and –
ends with those inside the compartment.

Charging the Battery
After installing the battery, you need to charge
it using the AC adapter. Connect the AC

other end to an electrical outlet.
Caution:
Do not connect the AC adapter when the battery
is not installed; this can damage the P-1000.

4
A fully charged battery lasts about 1 hour, depending on how you use
the P-1000. The CHARGE light flashes while the battery is being
charged. When the battery is fully charged, the CHARGE light turns
off. It takes about 3.5 hours to fully charge the battery.
Note:
Although the full battery icon (see the next page) may appear before
3.5 hours, leave the AC adapter connected for the entire 3.5 hours to
ensure the battery is fully charged.
Turning On the Power
To turn on the power, slide the power switch as shown below and
release it. After a moment the ACCESS light flashes red briefly and
then the Main Menu appears. (See the inside front cover for more
information about the menu.)
Note:
It takes a few seconds for the power to come on.
Before you turn off the P-1000, make sure the ACCESS light is off.
Then slide the power switch as shown above, and hold it down for
2 seconds until the power is turned off.

Viewing Photos
The P-1000 can display JPEG images of up to 6 megapixels, with an
aspect ratio of 6:1.
Note:
Progressive JPEG format files, non-JPEG images, some black and white
or CMYK images, video files, or sound files cannot be displayed or played
on the P-1000. However, it is possible to copy these files to the P-1000’s
HDD (for temporary storage).
RAW images from some digital cameras may be supported by the
P-1000. Depending on the RAW image, you may be able to copy it to
the P-1000 (and from there to a memory card or computer), display it on
the screen, and delete it—but you cannot perform certain operations. For
example, you cannot print or rotate RAW images, include them in a slide
show, or use one as an album thumbnail.
When you view images with an odd number of pixels, such as
1601 × 1201, one line of pixels on the bottom and right sides is not
displayed.
Follow these steps to view photos in thumbnail or full-screen size:

Copying Photos From a Memory Card
to the P-1000
You can copy all the photos from a memory card to a folder in the
P-1000’s Card Case or to an album in the Album Case. This is an easy
way to make a backup of the photos on your card. Then you can
delete the photos on the card so you have room for more.
Note:
If the battery is low when you try to copy files, they may not be copied
correctly. Use the AC adapter if this happens.
Some screens may not appear if you’ve changed the Copy Mode settings.
See your User’s Guide for details.

The copied images are stored in a card folder in the Card Case
(and in an album if you selected one). The card folder is named
according to the date you copied the card. For example, if the
folder name is 20040325.001, 2004 is the year, March 25 is the
day, and this is folder number 1 copied on this day. If you copy
the contents of your memory card to the P-1000 several times
during the day, you’ll be able to distinguish them by the order in
which they were copied.

Copying Photos From the P-1000 to a Memory Card
You can copy individual photos or complete Card Case folders from
your P-1000 to a memory card. Although you cannot copy an album
this way, you can copy individual photos from an album.

already contains photos—as long as there is enough space to hold the
new ones you will copy. If you are copying a Card Case folder, the
memory card must be empty.
Follow these steps:
1Insert a memory card in the P-1000. If you will be copying
folders, the card must be empty.

copy.
