.Using Power in Other Countries
• The AC adaptor is designed for operation wi th any power supply in the range of 
100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the power cord plug 
depends on each country or geographic ar ea. Before taking the camera and AC 
adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply 
requirements in your destination(s).
• Do not connect the AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter or 
similar device. Doing so  can lead to malfunction.
.Precautions when Using the AC Adaptor
• Connecting the AC adaptor to the camera does not charge the batteries.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the AC 
adaptor.
• If you are connecting the AC adaptor to the camera while it has batteries loaded, 
never connect or disconnect the AC adaptor while the camera is turned on.
• The AC adaptor will become warm after  long use. This is normal and does not 
indicate malfunction.
• Unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet whenever you are not using it.
• When the AC adaptor is connected to the camera while the batteries are loaded,  the AC adaptor power is given priority.
• Use of the AC adaptor to power the camera is recommended when connected to a  computer.
• Never cover the AC adaptor with a blanket,  etc. Doing so creates the risk of fire.
See page 21 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a 
memory card.
Press the memory card and then release it. This will 
cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull 
the card out the rest of the way and then insert another 
one. • Never remove a card from the camera while the back  lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image 
save operation to fail and even damage the memory 
card.

172Appendix
.Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a 
write protect switch. Use the switch when you need to 
guard against accidentally deleting data. Note, 
however, if you write protect an SD memory card you 
must then turn write protection off whenever you want 
to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during  image playback, you can restore normal operation by 
reformatting it (page 157). However, it is recommended that you always take along 
multiple memory cards whenever using the camera far away from the home or 
office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it 
loses its ability to retain data. Because of  this, periodic re-formatting of a memory 
card is recommended.
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noi se, and other phenomena can cause data to 
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data 
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the 
Camera
The format and delete functions of the camera  do not actually delete files from the 
memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the 
data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended 
whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to 
another party. • When discarding a memory card, either phys ically destroy the memory card or use 
commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on the 
memory card.
• When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use commercially 
available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.
• Use the format function (page 157) to completely delete the data in built-in memory  before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

Image Recording
Image is not 
recorded when the 
shutter button is 
pressed.1)If the camera is in the PLAY mode, press [
r
] (REC) to enter 
the REC mode.
2) If the flash is charging, wait until the charge operation  finishes.
3) If the message “Memory Full” appears, transfer images to  your computer, delete images you no longer need, or use a 
different memory card.
4)Flash is required but the flash unit is closed. Press  ð (Flash 
up) to open the flash unit.
Auto Focus does 
not focus properly. 1)If the lens is dirty, clean it off.
2)The subject may not be in the center of the focus frame when 
you compose the image.
3) The subject you are shooting may not be a type that is  compatible with Auto Focus (page 32). Use manual focus 
(page 52).
4) You may be moving the camera when shooting (page 95). Try  shooting with Anti Shake or use a tripod.
5)You may be pressing the shutter button all the way without 
waiting for Auto Focus. Half-press the shutter button and 
allow enough time for Auto Focus to focus.

The subject is out 
of focus in the 
recorded image.The image may not be focused properly. When composing the 
image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame.
The flash does not 
fire.
1)If 
?
 (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to 
another mode (page 46).
2)If battery power is low, replace the batteries with a full set of 
new ones.
3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses  ?
 (Flash Off) is selected, 
change to a different flash mode (page 46) or select a 
different BEST SHOT scene (page 73).
Camera powers 
down during Self-
timer countdown. The batteries may be dead.
The monitor screen 
image is out of 
focus.
1) You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the 
image. Focus the image (page 52).
2)You may be using  ´
 (Macro) or  Á (Super Macro) for 
scenery or portraits. Use Auto Focus for scenery and portrait 
shots (page 52).
3) You may be trying to use Auto Focus when shooting a close-
up shot. Use the  ´
 (Macro) or  Á (Super Macro) for close 
ups (page 52).
There is digital 
noise in images. 1) Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark 
subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a 
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
2) You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with  ?
 
(Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and 
make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page 
46) or use lights for illumination.
3) Lighting (page 102) may be enabled for snapshots, which can  cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or some other 
means to illuminate the subject.
A recorded image 
was not saved. 1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save 
operation was complete, which will result in the image not 
being saved. If the battery indicator shows  , replace 
batteries (alkaline) or charge batteries (Ni-MH) as soon as 
possible.
2) You may have removed the memory card from the camera  before the save operation was complete, which will result in 
the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card 
before the save operation is complete.

Though available 
lighting is bright, 
the faces of people 
in the image are 
dark.Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash 
mode setting to 
<
 (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 
46), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 44).
Night shots come 
out bad. Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 73) when shooting 
at night.
• High Speed Night Scene (for shooting night scenery only)
• High Speed Night Scene and Portrait (for shooting people  against night scenery)
Subjects are too 
dark when shooting 
images in a 
seashore or ski 
area. Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause 
underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to 
<
 
(Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 46), or adjust EV 
shift to the + side (page 44).
Digital zoom will 
not go up to the 
maximum value. The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital zoom 
(page 98).
The image is out of 
focus during movie 
recording.
1) Focusing may not be possible because the subject is outside 
the focus range. Shoot within the allowable range.
2)The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 165).
3) Continuous Auto Focus is not performed during movie 
recording when optical zoom is turned on while “ HD/STD” is 
selected as the movie mode, regardless of the current 
Continuous AF setting. You can readjust focus while movie 
recording is in progress by half pressing the shutter button, 
but doing so will cause noise produced by the lens operation 
to be picked up in the audio recording.
