    ■Battery Life
    •Battery continuous operation times provided in this manual 
    represent the approximate amount of time before the camera 
    turns off due to low battery power when being powered by the 
    special battery under normal temperature (23°C (73°F)). They 
    do not guarantee that you will be able to achieve the indicated 
    level of operation. Actual battery life is greatly affected by 
    ambient temperature, battery storage conditions, the amount 
    of time spent in storage, etc.
    •Leaving the camera on can run down battery and cause the 
    low battery warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever 
    you are not using it.
    •The low battery warning indicates that the camera is about to 
    turn off due to low battery power. Charge the battery as soon 
    as possible. Leaving low or dead batteries in the camera can 
    lead to battery leakage and data corruption.
    ■Data Error Precautions
    •Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital 
    components. Any of the following creates the risk of 
    corruption of data in camera memory.
    – While the camera is performing an operation, removing the 
    battery or memory card from the camera, or placing the 
    camera onto or removing it from the USB cradle
    – While the operation lamp is flashing green after turning off 
    the camera, removing the memory card from the camera or 
    placing the camera onto or removing it from the USB cradle
    – Disconnecting the USB cable, removing the camera from 
    the USB cradle, or disconnecting the AC adaptor from the 
    USB cradle while a data communication operation is being 
    performed
    – Using a battery that is low
    – Other abnormal operations
    Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to 
    appear on the monitor screen (page 280). Perform the action 
    indicated by the message that appears.

    ■Operating Environment
    •The operating temperature range of the camera is 0°C to 
    40°C (32°F to 104°F).
    •Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.
    – In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of 
    moisture or dust
    – Near an air conditioner or in other areas subjected to 
    extreme temperature or humidity
    – Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area 
    subjected to strong vibration
    ■Condensation
    •Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as when the 
    camera is moved from the outdoors on a cold winter day into 
    a warm room, can cause water droplets called “condensation” 
    to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera. Note 
    that condensation can cause malfunction of the camera. To 
    avoid condensation, place the camera into a plastic bag 
    before subjecting it to sudden temperature change. Wait until 
    the air in the bag has had enough time to become acclimated 
    to the new temperature before removing the camera. After 
    that, open the battery cover and leave it open for a few hours.
    ■Power Supply
    •Use only the special rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-50) 
    to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not 
    supported.
    •The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. 
    The date and time settings of the camera are cleared about 
    12 hours after power is totally cut off (from both the battery 
    and USB cradle). If this happens, be sure to reconfigure these 
    settings after power is restored (page 210).
    ■Lens
    •Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the 
    lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause 
    malfunction.
    •You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of 
    images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight. 
    This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not 
    indicate malfunction of the camera.

    ■Caring for your camera
    •Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the lens surface 
    can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid 
    touching the lens surface. To clean the lens surface, use a 
    blower to blow off dust or foreign matter and then wipe with a 
    soft, dry cloth.
    •Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the flash can 
    interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid touching 
    the flash. If the flash becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, 
    dry cloth.
    •To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
    ■Monitor Screen Images
    •The images that normally appear on the monitor screen 
    during image playback are smaller than normal, and so you 
    cannot see all of the detail of the actual image. Your camera 
    has an image zoom feature (page 169) which you can use to 
    enlarge the monitor screen image. You can use this feature 
    for on-the-spot checks of important images.
    ■Other Precautions
    •The camera becomes slightly warm during use. This is normal 
    and does not indicate malfunction.

    3.With the camera positioned so the monitor 
    screen is facing towards you as shown in the 
    illustration, place it onto the USB cradle.
    The [CHARGE] lamp lights red and charging starts.
    •It takes about 150 minutes to achieve a full charge. Actual 
    charging time depends on current battery capacity, 
    remaining power, and charging conditions.
    When charging is complete
    The [CHARGE] lamp, which was lit red during charging, 
    changes to green.
    Remove the camera from the USB cradle and unplug the AC 
    power cord from the power outlet.
    If the [CHARGE] lamp flashes green
    This indicates that charging cannot be performed because you 
    have just finished using the camera, or because the temperature 
    in your location is too hot or too cold. If this happens, wait until 
    the camera returns to normal temperature. When the camera 
    returns to a temperature where charging can be performed, the 
    [CHARGE] lamp will light red.
    Carefully insert the camera 
    as far as it will go.Cradle contact

    ■Battery Power Conservation Tips
    •When you do not need to use the flash, select “ ” (flash off) 
    for the flash setting (page 72).
    •Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect 
    against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the 
    camera (page 45).
    ■Checking Remaining Battery Power
    As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor 
    screen indicates remaining power as shown below.
    “ ” indicates that battery power is low. Charge the battery as 
    soon as possible.
    Recording is not possible when “ ” is indicated. Charge the 
    battery immediately.
    IMPORTANT!
    •Due to differences in the power requirements of each 
    mode, the battery indicator may show a lower level in the 
    PLAY mode than what it shows in a REC mode. This is 
    normal, and does not indicate malfunction.
    •Leaving the camera for about 12 hours with no power 
    supplied while the battery is dead will cause its date and 
    time settings to be cleared. You will have to re-configure 
    the settings after power is restored.
