• Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery may be either too high or 
too low. Disconnect the USB cable and wait until temperature is within the 
allowable charging range before trying again.
• Battery contacts may be dirty. Wipe them with a dry cloth.
• Try connecting to a different computer USB port. Depending on the setup of your 
computer, you may not be able to charge the camera’s battery over a USB 
connection.

.Precautions during Use
• Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation 
under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the 
camera.
• Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 5°C to 
35°C (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than 
normal or even fail.
• Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably 
means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a 
new one.
.Storage Precautions
• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of 
battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use 
up its charge before storing it.
• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left 
in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge 
when you need to use the camera.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in 
the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.
.Precautions during Use
• The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in 
the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the 
power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the 
camera and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the 
power supply requirements in your destination(s).
• Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter 
or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.
.Extra Batteries
• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-120) is recommended while on a trip 
in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.

See page 23 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.
.Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC 
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 114). 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 noise, 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.).

.Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you 
may experience problems saving high-quality (HD and STD) movies. When using the 
camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can take too much time 
to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio. This condition is 
indicated by »
 and Y
 flashing on the monitor screen. Use of a memory card with a 
maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.
.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 physically 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 114) to completely delete the data in built-in memory 
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

down.1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 111). Turn power 
back on.
2) The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 15).
3) The camera’s protection function may have activated 
because camera temperature is too high. Turn off the camera 
and wait until it cools down before trying to use it again.

another mode (page 39).
2) If the battery is dead, charge it (page 15).
3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ?
 (Flash Off) is selected, 
change to a different flash mode (page 39) or select a 
different BEST SHOT scene (page 52).

There is a vertical 
line in the monitor 
screen image.Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to 
appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD 
phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate 
malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not 
recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is 
recorded in the case of a movie.
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 ?

make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page 
39) or use lights for illumination.
3)Shooting with a high ISO sensitivity setting or with the 
Lighting feature can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a 
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
