∫Setting the date printing with the 
DPOF print in advance
When the printer supports the date printing 
by DPOF setting, we recommend setting 
the date printing with the DPOF print in 
advance. (P74) The recording date can be 
printed by selecting [DPOF PICTURE] to 
start printing.
 Do not disconnect the USB connection 
cable when the cable disconnection 
warning icon [ ] is indicated.
 When the [¥] indication lights in orange 
during printing, the camera is receiving an 
error message from the printer. Make sure 
there is no malfunction on the printer after 
finishing printing.
 In DPOF print, if the total number of prints 
or the number of printed pictures is high, 
pictures may be printed several times. 
(The indication of the remaining number of 
prints is different from the setting, 
however, this is not a malfunction.)
 The setting on the printer may have 
priority over the setting on the camera in 
the date print. Also check the date print 
setting on the printer.
 If the printer does not support date 
printing, the date cannot be printed on the 
picture.∫Layout printing
 When printing a picture several times 
on 1 sheet of paper
For example, if you want to print a picture 
4 times on 1 sheet of paper, set [PAGE 
LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set the 
number of prints to 4 for the picture on 
[NUM. OF PRINTS].
 When printing different pictures on 
1 sheet of paper (only in DPOF 
printing)
For example, if you want to print 4 different 
pictures on 1 sheet of paper, set [PAGE 
LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set the 
number of prints to 1 on [COUNT] in 
DPOF print setting (P73) for each of the 
4pictures.

Cautions for Use
∫Optimal Use of the Camera
When carrying the camera, take care not 
to drop or cause impact to it.
 The lens or the outer case may be 
destroyed by the strong shock, and it 
causes a malfunction of the camera.
Keep the camera away from magnetized 
equipment (such as a microwave oven, 
TV, video game equipment, etc.).
 If you use the camera on or near a TV, 
pictures and sounds may be disrupted 
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 batteries or disconnect AC adaptor 
(DMW-AC1; optional) and then insert the 
batteries or connect 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.Make sure to use the supplied cords and 
cables. If you use optional accessories, 
use the cords and the cables supplied 
with them.
Do not extend the cords and the cables.
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.
Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol 
for cleaning the camera.
 When cleaning the camera, remove the 
batteries or disconnect the AC adaptor 
(DMW-AC1; optional) 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 use a chemical cloth, follow the 
instructions that come with the cloth.
 In case rain or other sources of water 
splash 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 with a dry cloth.

∫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 may be damaged or the 
recorded content may be damaged or 
erased.
 Store the card in the card case or the 
storage bag after use and when you store 
or carry the card.
 Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter the 
terminals on the back of the card and do 
not touch the terminals with your fingers.
∫Batteries
When you will not be using the camera 
for a long period of time, be sure to 
remove the batteries.
 If the batteries are left in extremely high or 
low temperatures, the terminals may rust 
and cause malfunctions.
If you drop the batteries accidentally, 
check to see if the battery body and 
terminals are damaged.
 Inserting a damaged battery in the 
camera will damage the camera.
When you go out, bring spare batteries.
 Be aware that the operating time of the 
batteries will become shorter in low 
temperatures such as outdoors at a ski 
resort.
Dispose of unusable batteries.
 The batteries have a limited life.
 Do not throw the batteries into fire 
because they may cause an explosion.
 Unusable batteries should be discarded in 
accordance with battery recycling laws. 
For information you can call the RBRC 
hotline at 1-800-822-8837.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.

Troubleshooting
If you put the menu back to the settings at 
the time of purchase, the conditions may be 
improved.
Carry out the [RESET] in the [SETUP] 
menu. (P24)
∫Batteries and the power source
1: The camera is turned off immediately 
even when the battery power is full.
The battery indication shows less 
than the actual remaining battery 
power even if new batteries are 
inserted.
 Is [BATTERY TYPE] selected correctly?
– Select the item on [BATTERY TYPE] 
in the [SETUP] menu. (P24)
2: The camera cannot be operated even 
when it is turned on.
 Are the batteries inserted correctly?
 Use batteries that have been 
sufficiently charged when you use 
Ni-MH batteries.
3: The LCD monitor is turned off even 
when the camera is turned on.
 Is the power save mode (P24) or 
economy mode (P54) activated?
– Press the shutter button halfway to 
cancel these modes.
 Are the batteries exhausted?
– Replace them with batteries which 
have enough capacity. (When you use 
Ni-MH batteries, charge them.)
4: The LCD monitor is turned off 
sometimes when the camera is turned 
on.
 Is the LCD monitor turned off soon after 
you take pictures with the flash?
– While the flash is being charged, the 
LCD monitor is turned off.5: The camera is turned off immediately 
even after it is turned on.
 Are the batteries exhausted?
– Replace them with batteries which 
have enough capacity. (When you use 
Ni-MH batteries, charge them.)
– If you leave the camera with turning it

3: The recorded picture is blurred.
 When taking a picture in shaded areas 
or indoors, the shutter speed becomes 
slow and the optical image stabilizer 
function may not work properly. In this 
case, we recommend holding the 
camera with both hands firmly to take 
pictures. When the [SLOW SHUTTER] 
(P68) is set, we recommend using a 
tripod.
