Handling Precautions
LCD Monitor Although the LCD monito r is manufactured with very high precision 
technology with over 99.99% effective  pixels, there may be a few dead pixels 
displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. 
Dead pixels are not a malfunction. Th ey do not affect the images recorded.
  If the LCD monitor is left  on for a prolonged period,  screen burn-in may occur 
where you see remnants of  what was displayed. However, this is only 
temporary and will di sappear when the camera is left unus ed for a few days.
  The LCD monitor display may seem slow  in low temperatures, or look black 
in high temperat ures. It will return  to normal at room temperature.
CardsTo protect the card and its reco rded data, note the following:
  Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do  not subject it to excessive force, 
physical shock,  or vibration.
  Do not touch the card’s electronic cont acts with your fingers or anything 
metallic.
  Do not affix any sticke rs, etc., on the card.
  Do not store or use the ca rd near anything having a  strong magnetic field, 
such as a TV set, speakers , or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having 
static electricity.
  Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or  near a heat source.
  Store the card in a case.
  Do not store the ca rd in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
LensAfter detaching the lens from the camera, put  down the lens 
with the rear end up and atta ch the lens caps to avoid 
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Cautions regarding Prolonged UseIf you use continuous shooti ng, Live View shooting, or 
movie shooting for a prolon ged period, the camera may 
become hot. This is  not a malfunction.
Smudges Adhering to th e Front of the SensorBesides dust entering the ca mera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the 
camera’s internal parts may ad here to the front of the sensor. If visible spots still 
remain after the automatic sensor clea ning, having the sensor cleaned by a

Getting Started
This chapter explains preparatory steps before you start 
shooting and basic camera operations.

the camera’s strap mount eyelet 
from the bottom. Then pass it 
through the strap’s buckle as shown 
in the illustration. Pull the strap to 
take up any slack and make sure

1Remove the protective cover.
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-E12
 As shown by the arrow, flip out the 
battery charger’s prongs and insert 
the prongs into a power outlet.
For LC-E12E
 Connect the power cord to the 
charger and insert the plug into a 
power outlet. 
X Recharging starts automatically and 
the charge lamp lights up in orange.
X When the battery is  fully recharged, 
the full-charge lamp will light up in 
green.
  It takes approx. 2 hours to fully recharge a completely 
exhausted battery at room temperature (23°C / 73°F). The time 
required to recharge the batter y will vary greatly depending on 
the ambient temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity.
  For safety reasons, rechar ging in low temperatures (5
°C - 10°C / 
41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hours).
