2Getting Started
Getting Started
Attach the strap to the left and right side of the camera.
•When you are not shooting images, attach the lens cap to protect the lens.
•The lens hood cuts out light which adversely affects the image, and it also helps to
protect the camera. Do not use the lens hood when shooting with a flash or when
the AF-assist illuminator is necessary for shooting.

Getting Started
•With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move the
orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).
•Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).
•Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or backward, as
this could cause a malfunction.

cannot be captured or deleted, and the card cannot be formatted.
BFormatting a Memory Card
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this
camera, make sure to format it with this camera.
•Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and other
data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep
before formatting the memory card.
•Insert the memory card into the camera, press the dbutton, and select Format card in
the setup menu (A17).
Removing the Battery or Memory Card
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and screen have turned
off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.
•Move the battery latch to eject the battery.
•Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory card.
•Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after

•Charging starts when the camera is connected to an electrical outlet while the
battery is inserted, as shown in the illustration. The power-on lamp (charge lamp)
slowly flashes while the battery is charging.
•When charging is complete, the power-on lamp turns off. Unplug the Charging AC
Adapter from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the USB cable.
Charging time is about 3 hours for a fully exhausted battery.
•The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp quickly flashes, possibly
due to one of the reasons described below.
- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.
- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.

BNotes About the USB Cable
•Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21
could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.
•Check the shape and direction of the plugs and do not insert or remove the plugs at an
angle.
BNotes About Charging the Battery
•The camera can be operated while the battery is charging, but the charging time
increases. The power-on lamp (charge lamp) turns off while the camera is being operated.
•Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than
the EH-73P Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC
adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
•You can adjust the direction and angle of the monitor. For normal shooting, fold
the monitor against the back of the camera, facing out (5).
•When you are not using or carrying the camera, fold the monitor against the
camera body with the screen facing in (1).
BNotes About the Monitor
•The monitor’s adjustable range may be limited when a cable or accessories are attached
to the camera.
•When moving the monitor, do not apply excessive force and move slowly within the
monitor’s adjustable range so that the connection will not be damaged.

Basic Shooting and Playback Operations
3Frame the picture.
•Move the zoom control or the side zoom control to change the zoom lens position.
•If you lose sight of the subject while shooting with the lens in telephoto position,
press the p(snap-back zoom) button to temporarily widen the visible area so that
you can frame the subject more easily.
CUsing a Tripod
•We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode set to W(off )
- When the zoom is at a telephoto position
•When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration
reduction to Off in the setup menu (A17) to prevent potential errors caused by
this function.
•After attaching the camera to a tripod, make sure that the camera does not fall over
when zooming the lens in or out. Extend one leg of the tripod toward the subject
and the other two legs toward you at an equal distance.
•The camera may move slightly when operated, even if it is attached to a tripod,
which may interfere with the autofocus. Wait a few seconds after operating the
camera, and then slowly press the shutter-release button.

•If the focus area or focus indicator flashes,
the camera is unable to focus. Modify the
composition and try pressing the shutter-
release button halfway again.
5Without lifting your finger, press the
shutter-release button all the way
down.
BNotes About Saving Images or Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the
remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory
card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the
camera or the memory card.
CThe Auto Off Function
•When no operations are performed for about one minute, the screen turns off, the camera
enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off after
remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.
•To turn the screen back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an operation
such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.
