Power Supply and Battery* Conirm your battery type beore read-
ing the ollowing descriptions.
The ollowing explains proper use o
batteries and how to prolong theirlie. Incorrect use o batteries can
cause shorter battery lie, as well asleakage, excessive heat, fre or explo-
sion.
1 Camera uses the Rechargeable
Lithium-ion Battery
* When shipped, the battery is notully charged. Always charge the
battery beore using it.
* When carrying the battery, install itin a digital camera or keep it in the
sot case.
■ Battery Features
• The battery gradually loses its
charge even when not used. Use
a battery that has been chargedrecently (in the last day or two) to
take pictures.• To maximize the lie o the battery,
turn the camera o as quickly as
possible when it is not being used.• The number o available rames will
be lower in cold locations or at lowtemperatures. Take along a spare
ully charged battery. You can also
increase the amount o power pro-duced by putting the battery in
your pocket or another warm placeto heat it and then loading it into
the camera just beore you take apicture.
I you are using a heating pad, take
care not to place the battery di-
rectly against the pad. The cameramay not operate i you use a de-
pleted battery in cold conditions.

the battery charger (included).
- The battery can be chargedat ambient temperatures be-
tween 0°C and +40°C (+32°Fand +104°F). Reer to the Owner’sManual or the time o charging
battery.- You should charge the battery
at an ambient temperature be-tween +10°C and +35°C (+50°F
and +95°F). I you charge the
battery at a temperature outsidethis range, charging takes longer
because the perormance o the
battery is impaired.- You cannot charge the battery
at temperatures o 0°C (+32°F) orbelow.
• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Bat-tery does not need to be ully dis-charged or exhausted at beore
being charged.• The battery may eel warm ater it
has been charged or immediately
ater being used. This is perectlynormal.
• Do not recharge a ully chargedbattery.
■ Battery Lie
At normal temperatures, the bat-tery can be used at least 300 times.
I the time or which the battery
provides power shortens markedly,
this indicates that the battery hasreached the end o its eective lieand should be replaced.
■ Notes on storage
• I a battery is stored or long periods
while charged, the perormance o the battery can be impaired. I the
battery will not be used or sometime, run the battery out beore
storing it.
• I you do not intend to use thecamera or a long period o time,
remove the battery rom the cam-era.
• Store the battery in a cool place.
- The battery should be stored ina dry location with an ambient
temperature between +15°C and+25°C (+59°F and +77°F).
- Do not leave the battery in hot or
extremely cold places.■ Handling the Battery

For Your Saety
• Do not store batteries in warm or
humid places.
• Keep the batteries out o reach o babies and small children.
• Make sure that the battery polarity
(C andD) is correct.• Do not use new with used batter-
ies. Do not use charged and dis-charged batteries together.
• Do not use dierent types orbrands o batteries at the same
time.
• I you do not intend to use thecamera or a long period o time,
remove the batteries rom the
camera. Note i the camera is letwith the batteries removed, the
time and date settings are cleared.• The batteries eel warm right a-
ter being used. Beore removingthe batteries, turn the camera o
and wait or the batteries to cool
down.• Since batteries do not work well in
cold weather or locations, warmthe batteries by placing them in-
side your garments beore use.
Batteries do not work well whencold. They will work again when
the temperature returns to normal.• Soil (such as fngerprints) on the
battery terminals makes the bat-
teries charge less reducing thenumber o images. Careully wipe
the battery terminals with a sotdry cloth beore loading.
I any liquid at all leaks rom
the batteries, wipe the battery
compartment thoroughly andthen load new batteries.
I any battery uid comes intocontact with your hands or
clothing, ush the area thor-oughly with water. Note that
battery uid can cause loss
o eyesight i it gets into youreyes. I this occurs, do not rub
your eyes. Flush the uid outwith clean water and contact
your physician or treatment.
■ Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteriescorrectly
• Ni-MH batteries let unused instorage or long periods can be-
come “deactivated”. Also, repeat-
edly charging Ni-MH batteriesthat are only partially discharged
can cause them to suer rom the
“memory eect”. Ni-MH batteriesthat are “deactivated” or aected
by “memory” suer rom the prob-lem o only providing power or a
short time ater being charged. To
prevent this problem, dischargeand recharge them several times
using the camera’s “Dischargingrechargeable batteries” unction.
Deactivation and memory are spe-
cifc to Ni-MH batteries and are notin act battery aults.
See Owner’s Manual or the proce-
dure or “Discharging rechargeablebatteries”.
CAUTIONCAUTIONDo not use the “Discharging re-
chargeable batteries” unction whenalkaline batteries being used.
• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the
quick battery charger (sold sepa-rately). Reer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to makesure that the charger is used cor-
rectly.
• Do not use the battery charger tocharge other batteries.
• Note that the batteries eel warm
ater being charged.• Due to the way the camera is con-
structed, a small amount o currentis used even when the camera is
turned o. Note in particular that
leaving Ni-MH batteries in thecamera or a long period will over-
discharge the batteries and mayrender them unusable even ater
recharging.
• Ni-MH batteries will sel-dischargeeven when not used, and the time
or which they can be used may beshortened as a result.
• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate
rapidly i over-discharged (e.g.by discharging the batteries in a
ashlight). Use the “Discharging re-chargeable batteries” unction pro-
vided in the camera to discharge
the batteries.
• Ni-MH batteries have a limited
service lie. I a battery can only
be used or a short time even aterrepeated discharge-charge cycles,
it may have reached the end o its
service lie.
■ Disposing o Batteries
• When disposing o batteries, do
so in accordance with your localwaste disposal regulations.

GlossaryDigital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount o visible detail. Instead, details vis-
ible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed rom “print orders” stored
on a memory card. The inormation in the order includes the pictures to be printed and the number o
copies o each picture.
EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity o the image sensor and the amounto light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount o light doubles, EV

increases by one; each time the amount o light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount o light entering the
camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.
Exi Print: A standard or storing inormation with pictures or optimal color reproduction during printing.
HDMI (High-Defnition Multimedia Interace): An interace standard or the transmission o images and sound that
adds audio input to the DVI interace used to connect computers to displays.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed fle ormat or color images. The higher the compressionrate, the greater the loss o inormation and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.
Motion JPEG: An AVI (Audio Video Interleave) ormat that stores sound and JPEG images in a single fle. Motion JPEG
fles can be played in Windows Media Player (requires DirectX 8.0 or later) or QuickTime 3.0 or later.
Smear: A phenomenon specifc to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources, such
as the sun or reected sunlight, appear in the rame.
WAV (Waveorm Audio Format): A standard Windows audio fle ormat. WAV fles have the extension “*.WAV” and
may be compressed or uncompressed. The camera uses uncompressed WAV. WAV fles can be played usingWindows Media Player or QuickTime 3.0 or later.
White balance: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color o light, with the result that objects
that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color o the light source changes. Digital
cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color o the light source. This process
is known as “white balance.”
Memory Card Capacity The ollowing table shows the recording time or number o pictures available at dierent image sizes.
All fgures are approximate; fle size varies with the scene recorded, producing wide variations in the
number o fles that can be stored. The number o exposures or length remaining may not diminish
at an even rate.
