39 Nomenclature Using a Genuine Interface Cable (sold separately)If you use a genuine interface cable (sold separately, p.525), run the cable through the clamp before attaching the clamp to the cable protector. Clamp To connect the camera to a TV set, using HDMI Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) is recommended. Usi ng the cable protector is also recommended when connecting an HDMI cable. Connecting interface cable without using the cable protector may damage the digital terminal. Do not use a USB 2.0 cable equipped with a Micro-B plug. It may damage the camera’s digital terminal. As shown in the lower-right illustration for step 4, check that the interface cable is securely attached to the digital terminal.
41 1 Getting Started and BasicCamera Operations This chapter explains preparatory steps before you start shooting and the basic camera operations.
42 1Remove the protective cover. Detach the protective cover provided with the battery. 2Attach the battery. As shown in the illustration, attach the battery securely to the charger. To detach the battery, follow the above procedure in reverse. 3Recharge the battery. For LC-E6 As shown by the arrow, flip out the battery charger’s prongs and insert the prongs into a power outlet. For LC-E6E Connect the power cord to the charger and insert the plug into a power outlet. X Recharging starts automatically and the charge lamp blinks in orange. It takes approx. 2 hr. and 30 min. to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at room temperature (23 °C / 73 °F). The time required to recharge the battery will vary greatly depending on the ambient temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity. For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C / 41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hr.).

43 Charging the Battery Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged. Charge the battery before use. Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used. Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity. After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the charger from the power outlet. You can attach the cover in a different orientation to indicate whether the battery is recharged or not. If the battery is recharged, attach the cover so that the battery-shaped hole < > is aligned over the blue sticker on the batte ry. If the battery is exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation. When not using the camera, remove the battery. If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current will keep released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may lower the battery performance. The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so may damage the battery charger. If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after having been fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life. Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.526) and purchase a new battery. Tips for Using the Battery and Charger After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for approx. 10 sec. If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.526) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged. The provided charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6N/LP-E6.
44 Load a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N (or LP-E6) into the camera. The camera’s viewfinder becomes bright when a battery is installed, and darkens when the battery is removed. If the battery is not installed, the image in the viewfinder becomes blurred and you cannot perform focusing. 1Open the cover. Slide the lever as shown by the arrows and open the cover. 2Insert the battery. Insert the end with the electrical contacts. Insert the battery until it locks in place. 3Close the cover. Press the cover until it snaps shut. Open the cover and remove the battery. Press the battery lock lever as shown by the arrow and remove the battery. To prevent short circuiting, be sure to attach the provided protective cover (p.42) to the battery. Installing and Removing the Battery Installing the Battery Removing the Battery You cannot use batteries other than the Battery Pack LP-E6N or LP-E6.
45 You can use a CF card and an SD card with this camera. Images can be recorded when at least one card is installed in the camera.

Slide the cover as shown by the arrows to open it. 2Insert the card. The camera-front side slot is for a CF card, and the camera-back side slot is for an SD card. The CF card is [ f] (Card 1) and the SD card is [ g] (Card 2). With the CF card’s label side facing you, insert the end with the small holes into the camera. If the card is inserted in the wrong way, it may damage the camera. XThe CF card eject button (gray) will stick out. With the SD card’s label facing you, push in the card until it clicks in place.

Card selection icon Possible shots CF card indicator SD card indicator Type II CF cards, hard disk-type cards or CFast cards cannot be used. Multimedia cards (MMC) cannot be used (card error will be displayed). Ultra DMA (UDMA) CF cards can also be used with the camera. UDMA cards enable faster data writing. SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards are supported. UHS-I SDHC or SDXC memory cards can also be used. The number of possible shots varies depending on the remaining capacity of the card, the settings of image-recording quality, ISO speed, etc. Setting [ z1: Release shutter without card ] to [Disable ] will prevent you from forgetting to insert a card (p.540).

Removing the Card Access lamp CF card eject button CautionDuring Live View shooting or movie shooting, if the red E icon appears, do not remove the card right away. The card may be hot due to the camera’s high internal temperature. Set the power switch to < 2> and stop shooting for a while. Then remove the card. If you take out the card while it is still hot after shooting, you may drop the card and damage it. Be careful when taking out the card.
Installing and Removing the Card 48 When the access lamp is lit or blinking, it indicates that images are being written to, read from, or erased from the card, or data is being transferred. Do not open the card slot cover during this time. Also, never do any of the following while the access lamp is lit or blinking. Otherwise, it can damage the image data, card, or camera. • Removing the card. • Removing the battery. • Shaking or banging the camera around. • Unplugging and connecting a power cord (when household power outlet accessories (sold s eparately, p.530) are used). If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not start from 0001 (p.223). If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove and reinsert the card. If the error persists, use a different card. If you can transfer images on the card to a computer, transfer all the images and then format the card with the camera (p.73). The card may then return to normal. Do not touch the SD card’s contacts with your fingers or metal objects. Do not expose the contacts to dust or water. If smudges adhere to the contacts, contact failure may result.
