Getting Ready
Turn the power on and get ready to shoot.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------•If the camera is on, make sure it is turned off before inserting or removing the battery.
•For information on how to turn the camera off, see P.30.
This camera uses the Rechargeable Battery 
DB-70, a dedicated lithium-ion battery supplied 
with the camera. It is economical because you 
can recharge it using the battery charger and 
use it over and over again. The rechargeable 
battery needs to be charged before use. The battery is not charged 
at the time of purchase.
Number of shots you can take ---------------------------------------------------------------Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 300
* When [LCD Auto Dim] (GP.175) is set to [On]
•Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on, 30 
seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-angle or 
wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after 
each 10 shots).
•You can take approximately 270 shots when [LCD Auto Dim] is set to [Off].
•Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can 
take. (GP.60)
•The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of 
time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease. 
If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we recommend carrying a 
spare battery.
Caution -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------•The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off 
and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.
•Please remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of 
time.
•When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium-ion 
battery (DB-70). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Formatting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it with this camera. If an error 
message such as [Card Error] is displayed when an SD memory card is loaded in the 
camera or the card has been used with a computer or other digital camera, you must 
format the card with this camera prior to use. (GP.156)
Where images are recorded-------------------------------------------------------------------When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera records images to the internal 
memory; when an SD memory card is loaded, it records images to the SD memory 
card.
Caution -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------•If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera does not record to the internal memory, 
even if the card is full.
•Take care not to get the contacts of the card dirty.
SD Memory Card (available in stores)
You can store images you have taken either in the camera’s 
internal memory or on an SD memory card (available in stores). 
The internal memory capacity is approximately 54 MB.
To record a lot of still images or movies at high resolutions, use a 
high-capacity SD memory card.

Write-protecting your images ----------------------------------------------------------------Move the write-protection switch on the SD memory card to 
LOCK to prevent your still images from being accidentally erased 
or the card from being formatted. If you unlock the card (by 
returning the switch to its original position), it is once again 
possible to erase images and format the card.
It is recommended to move the write-protection switch to LOCK 
when you have some important data recorded.
Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because no 
data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card before shooting.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------•For information on switching between the SD memory card and internal memory 
during playback, see P.53.
•Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on 
the capacity of the SD memory card. (GP.212)
•You can copy images recorded in the internal memory to the SD memory card.
