Even if you set [USB MODE] to 
[PictBridge (PTP)], you can connect to your 
PC if the OS is Windows XP Home Edition/
Professional or Mac OS X.
 Pictures can only be read on the camera. 
They cannot be written to a card or 
deleted.
 When there are 1000 or more pictures on 
a card, the pictures may not be imported.
 Do not use any other USB connection 
cables except the supplied one.
 Do not disconnect the USB connection 
cable while [ACCESS] is displayed.
 If battery power is exhausted while the 
camera and the PC are communicating, 
the recorded data may be damaged. 
When you connect the camera to the PC, 
use a battery with sufficient battery power 
(P12) or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; 
optional).
 If the remaining battery power becomes 
low while the camera and the PC are 
communicating, the status indicator blinks 
and the alarm beeps. In this case, stop 
the communication at once on the PC.
 When connecting the camera to a 
Windows 2000 OS PC with the USB 
connection cable, do not replace the 
card while the camera and the PC are 
connected. The information on the card 
may be damaged. Disconnect the USB 
connection cable before replacing the 
card.
 Pictures edited or rotated with a PC may 
be displayed in black in playback mode 
(P30), multi playback (P58) and calendar 
playback (P59).
 For information about this, refer to the 
separate operating instructions for PC 
connection.
 Read the operating instructions for the 
PC.

3Disconnect the USB connection 
cable after printing.
∫Setting the date printing with the 
DPOF print in advance
We recommend setting DPOF date printing 
with [DPOF PRINT] (P74) in advance when 
the printer supports it. If you select 
[DPOF PICTURE], printing starts and the 
recording date is printed.
∫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 
[NUM. OF PRINTS] to 4.
 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 
[COUNT] in [DPOF PRINT] (P73) to 1 for 
each of the 4 pictures.
 Do not disconnect the USB connection 
cable when the cable disconnection 
warning icon [ ] is displayed. 
(Depending on the printer, the icon may 
not be displayed.)
 If the remaining battery power becomes 
low while the camera and the printer are 
connected, the status indicator blinks and 
the alarm beeps. If this happens during 
printing, press [MENU/SET] and stop 
printing at once. If not printing, disconnect 
the USB connection cable.
 The camera is receiving an error message 
from the printer when the [¥] indication 
lights orange during printing. After 
finishing printing, make sure there are no 
problems with the printer. If the total number of DPOF prints or the 
number of DPOF pictures printed is high, 
pictures may be printed several times. The 
remaining number of prints indicated may 
differ from the number set. This is not a 
malfunction.
 With date printing, the setting on the 
printer may take priority over the setting 
on the camera. Check the date print 
setting on the printer also.

Cautions for Use
∫Optimal use of the camera
Take care not to drop or knock the unit 
or put a lot of pressure on it.
 Do not leave the unit in 
your pants pocket when 
you sit down or forcefully 
insert it into a full bag etc.
 Take care not to drop or 
knock the bag that you 
inserted the unit in as it 
may strongly shock the 
unit.
 A strong shock to the unit may break the 
lens, screen or outer case and cause the 
unit to malfunction.
Keep the camera as far away as possible 
from electromagnetic equipment (such 
as microwave ovens, TVs, video games 
etc.).
 If you use the camera on top of or near a 
TV, the pictures and sound on the camera 
may be disrupted by electromagnetic 
wave radiation.
 Do not use the camera near cell phones 
because doing so may result in noise 
adversely affecting the pictures and sound.
 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 microprocessors may adversely affect 
the camera, disturbing the pictures and 
sound.
 If the camera is adversely affected by 
electromagnetic equipment and stops 
functioning properly, turn the camera off 
and remove the battery or disconnect AC 
adaptor (DMW-AC5; optional). Then 
reinsert the battery or reconnect AC 
adaptor and 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, the recorded pictures 
and sound may be adversely affected.
Always 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 or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with 
insecticides or volatile chemicals.
 If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, 
the body of the camera 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.
 Before cleaning the camera, remove the 
battery or disconnect the AC adaptor 
(DMW-AC5; optional) from the electrical 
outlet.
 The body of the camera may be damaged 
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 then with a soft, dry cloth. 
 If you use a chemically treated cloth, read 
the instructions that come with the cloth.
 If rain water or other drops of water splash 
onto the camera, wet a soft cloth with tap 
water, wring it well, then use it to wipe the 
camera body carefully. Lastly, wipe the 
camera again with a dry cloth.
