Cautions for Use
ªOptimal Use of the Camera
Keep the camera away from 
magnetized equipment (such as a 
microwave oven, TV, cell phone, 
video game equipment, etc.).
 If you use the camera on or near a TV, 
pictures and sounds may be disturbed 
due to electromagnetic wave radiation.
 Do not use the camera near a cell 
phone because doing so may cause 
noise to adversely affect the pictures 
and sounds.
 Recorded data may be damaged, or 
pictures may be distorted by strong 
magnetic fields created by speakers or 
large motors.
 Electromagnetic wave radiation 
generated by a microprocessor may 
adversely affect the camera, causing 
the disturbance of pictures and 
sounds.
 If the camera is affected by 
magnetically charged equipment and 
does not function properly, turn the 
camera off and remove the battery or 
disconnect the AC adaptor and then 
insert the battery or connect the AC 
adaptor again. Thereafter, turn the 
camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio 
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
 If you record near radio transmitters or 
high-voltage lines, recorded pictures 
or sounds may be adversely affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile 
chemicals onto the camera.
 If the camera is sprayed with such 
chemicals, the camera body may be 
damaged and the surface finish may 
peel off.
 Do not keep rubber or plastic products 
in contact with the camera for a long 
period of time.When you use the camera on a rainy 
or snowy day or on a beach or similar 
place, do not let grit, fine dust or 
seawater get into the camera.
 Grit or dust may damage the camera 
or card. (Care should be taken when 
inserting and removing the card.)
 If seawater splashes onto the camera, 
wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it 
well, and use it to wipe the camera 
body carefully. Then, wipe it again 
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
When carrying this camera, take care 
not to drop or hit it.
 The outer case may be destroyed by 
the strong shock, and it may cause 
malfunction of this camera.
 For storing or transporting the camera, 
place it in a bag or case lined with soft 
pads to prevent the coating on the 
camera body from being worn.
 Do not take direct pictures of the sun. 
The CCD will be damaged.

Do not use benzine, thinner or 
alcohol for cleaning the camera.
 Before cleaning the camera, remove 
the battery or disconnect the AC 
adaptor from the electrical outlet.
 The camera body may be deformed 
and the surface finish may peel off.
 Wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth. 
To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a 
cloth that is soaked in a detergent 
diluted with water and afterward finish 
wiping with a dry cloth.
If you will not be using the camera for 
a long time, be careful of the fungus.
 Do not keep the camera in a place 
where it will be subjected to high 
temperatures, high humidity or soot. 
Fungus may be attached to the lens 
and the camera or condensation may 
occur.
 Keep the camera in a cool, dry and 
well-ventilated place and avoid storing 
near dust or chemicals.
 We recommend keeping it in a closed 
case with the desiccant.
ªCondensation
When using the camera outdoors during 
very cold weather, condensation can 
form on the camera and lens when you 
return to a warm place.
When condensation has taken place:
Turn the camera off and leave the 
camera in this condition for about 
2 hours. When the camera becomes 
close to the ambient temperature, the 
condensation disappears naturally.ªOptimal Use of the Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion 
battery. Its ability to generate power is 
based upon the chemical reaction that 
takes place inside it. This reaction is 
susceptible to the surrounding 
temperature and humidity, and, if the 
temperature is too high or too low, the 
operating time of the battery will be 
shorter.
If you drop the battery accidentally, 
check to see if the battery body and 
terminals are damaged.
Inserting a damaged battery in the 
camera may damage the camera.
Be sure to remove the battery when 
you do not intend to use the camera 
for a long period of time.
If it is left inserted in the camera, a 
minute amount of current is consumed 
even when the camera is turned off. If 
the battery is left inserted in the camera 
for a long time, discharge takes place. 
The battery may become unusable even 
after it is charged.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
 The battery has a limited life.
 Do not throw the battery into fire 
because it may cause an explosion.
 An unusable battery should be 
discarded in accordance with battery 
recycling laws.
For information you can call the RBRC 
hotline at 1-800-822-8837.

ªCautions for Storage
Before storing the camera, remove the 
card and the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place 
with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:
59oF to 77oF (15oC to 25oC),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
Battery
 Do not leave the camera and the 
battery in a place where the 
temperature is too high, such as inside 
a car during the summer.
 Extremely high or low temperatures 
will shorten the life of the battery.
 If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty 
places, the terminals may rust and 
cause malfunctions.
 Do not allow the battery terminals to 
come in contact with metal objects 
(such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.). 
This can result in a short circuit or heat 
generation and, if you touch the 
battery in this condition, you may be 
badly burned.
 Store the battery in a completely 
discharged state. To store the battery 
for a long period of time, we 
recommend charging it once every 
year and storing it again after you 
completely use up the charged 
capacity.
Card
 Do not leave the card in places where 
there is high temperature or direct 
sunlight, or where electromagnetic 
waves or static electricity are easily 
generated.
 Do not bend or drop the card. The 
card or the recorded content may be 
damaged.
 After use, be sure to remove the card 
from the camera.
 Do not touch the terminals on the back 
of the card with your fingers. Do not 
allow dirt, dust or water to enter it.AC adaptor
 If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, 
radio reception may be disturbed. 
Keep the AC adaptor 3.3 feet (1 m) or 
more away from radio.
 When the AC adaptor is in use, it may 
generate whirring sounds. However, 
this is not a malfunction.
 After use, be sure to disconnect the 
AC cable. (If it is left connected, a 
minute amount of current is 
consumed.)
 Keep the terminal of the AC adaptor 
and battery clean.
ªScreen
LCD monitor
 In a place with drastic temperature 
changes, condensation may form on 
the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft, 
dry cloth.
 If the camera is extremely cold when 
you turn the camera on, the image on 
the LCD monitor is slightly darker than 
usual at first. However, as the internal 
temperature increases, it goes back to 
the normal brightness.
Viewfinder
 Do not direct the Viewfinder or lens to 
the sun. Internal components may be 
seriously damaged.

ªFolder Composition
When a Memory Card with data 
recorded on it is inserted into a PC, the 
folders shown below will appear.
 In the [100_PANA] folder it is possible 
to record up to 999 pictures.
 In the [MISC] folder it is possible to 
record the files that have been set with 
DPOF settings.
 The files recorded in flip animation 
function are stored in [PRIVATE1] 
folder.
 The motion images created by flip 
animation function are stored in 
[100_PANA] or other folder.
ªPrinting pictures recorded with 
HDTV mode
When you print pictures recorded by 
setting the picture size to [HDTV] 
(1920k1080 pixels), both ends of the 
pictures may be cut out.
To print pictures with ends:
When you order photo studios to print 
pictures:
 Ask the photo studio if the pictures can 
be printed with both ends.
When you print pictures with your 
printer:
 When using the printer with a trimming 
feature or a feature which cuts out 
both edges of the pictures, cancel the 
feature for printing.
 The feature depends on the printer 
used. Refer to the operating 
instructions of the printer for details.ªMotion Image
The auto focus and the aperture value 
are fixed to the value set when you start 
the recording (the value set on the first 
frame). Therefore, the following 
phenomena may appear.
