cal outlet, be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet to avoid fire or electrical hazards. Discontinue use of the equipment
immediately if it is malfunctioning. Contact the nearest service center at your earliest convenience.
Avoid any contact with the liquid crystal inside the LCD monitor, should the monitor be damaged. Follow the emergency
measures below in the following circumstances.

4
• SKIN: If any of the liquid crystal gets on your skin, wipe it off and rinse the affected area thoroughly with water, then
wash well with soap.
• EYES: If it gets in your eyes, wash your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice immedi-
ately.
• INGESTION: If any of the liquid crystal is ingested, rinse the mouth out thoroughly with water. Have the victim drink a
large amount of water and induce vomiting. Seek medical assistance immediately.

1. Thread the small loop of the hand strap through the strap eyelet on the
camera.
2. Pull the large loop through the small loop until the strap is firmly
secured.
Inserting an SD Memory Card (optional accessory)
The camera comes with 16MB of internal memory, allowing you to store images and movies in the
camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an optional SD memory card so that you
can store more images and movies.
When a memory card is not inserted, the camera records images in the internal memory; when a
memory card is inserted, it records images on the memory card.

Taking Pictures
Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.5" LCD monitor to compose images. Taking images using
the optical viewfinder will conserve battery power. If your batteries are low, it is recom-mended that you only compose
images by using the viewfinder. Using the LCD monitor, you can compose images more accurately, but at the cost of battery
consumption. The LCD monitor must be used when Digital Zoom is used.
Note
• Every time you press the DISP button, the LCD monitor display cycles in the order of Normal Symbol Dis-
play, No Display, and LCD Monitor Off.
• To save power consumption, turn the LCD monitor display Off.
Using the viewfinder
1. Turn the camera on by pressing the POWER button.
2. Set the mode dial to the 5mode or the M5mode.
3. Put the subject of your photo right in the middle and press the shutter
release button half-way.
Once focused, the viewfinder LED glows green and a red symbol appears on the LCD mon-
itor. If the automatic focusing fails, the viewfinder LED blinks.
4. Press the shutter button.

18
Using the LCD monitor
1. Turn the camera on by pressing the POWER button.
2. Set the mode dial to the 5mode or the M5mode.
By default, the LCD monitor is on.
3. Put the subject of your photo right in the middle and press the shutter
release button half-way.
Once focused, the viewfinder LED glows green and a red symbol appears on the LCD mon-
itor. If the automatic focusing fails, the viewfinder LED blinks.
4. Press the shutter button.
Note
• The LCD monitor darkens in strong sunlight or bright light. This is not a malfunction.
• Using the LCD monitor for an extended period of time will decrease the number of images you can take.
To increase battery longevity, turn the LCD monitor off and use the viewfinder instead.
• The LCD monitor must be on when Digital Zoom is to be used.

19
Using the Optical Zoom
The lens moves when using zoom photography. Zoom photography allows you to take telephoto and wide-angle shots. The
subject appears closer by pressing the z button and appears farther away by pressing the Zbutton.
1. Set the mode dial to the 5mode or the M5mode.
2. If required, turn on the LCD monitor by pressing the DISP. button.
3. Compose the picture using the z/Zbutton.
• Pressing the zbutton zooms in on the subject, and enlarges the subject
on the LCD monitor.
• Pressing the Zbutton provides a wider angle picture.
• The lens position moves according to the zoom button setting.
4. Press the shutter button.

Digital Zoom Photography
Using digital zoom, images appear closer. Whereas digital zoom is a compelling feature, the more an image is enlarged
(zoomed), the more pixilated (grainier) the image will appear. The digital zoom function is only available when you set the
LCD monitor and the digital zoom to on. To enable the digital zoom, refer to DIGITAL ZOOM in Record/Manual Record menu
(P.41).
1. Set the mode dial to the 5mode or the M5mode.
2. Turn on the LCD monitor by pressing the DISP. button.
3. Press the MENU button.
4. Press the !or "button to select [DIGITAL ZOOM], and press the $button.
5. Press the !or "button again to select [ON], and press the OK button.
6. Press the MENU button again to exit from the menu mode.
7. To activate the digital zoom, press the zbutton completely and hold it until the image on the
LCD monitor expands.
8. Press the shutter button to capture a "zoomed" image.
Note
• Digital photography is not possible when the LCD monitor display is turned off.
• Digital zoom is only available at a resolution of 2048x1536 pixels (P.25).
• Digital zoom cannot be used in the movie mode.
• The maximum zoom magnification is 2x for recording an image.
