iLoading a Memory Card into the Camera

When a memory card is loaded, the camera stores images you

shoot on the card.

NOTE

• Though the camera has built-in memory, using a memory

card provides additional capacity you can use to store more

images, high-quality and large-size images, and longer

movies.

• The camera will store images in its built-in memory if there

is no memory card loaded, if you prefer to use built-in

memory, skip this procedure and go to "Shooting a

Snapshot" on page 16.

I. Open the battery cover.

Snapshot Image Size and Image Quality

Your camera lets you select frorn among various image size

and quality settings. Note that image size and quality

settings affect how many images can be stored in memory.

• You can change the image size and quality settings as

required to shoot a smaller or lower-resolution image for

attachment to an e-mail message, for publishing on a

website, etc. You can also select an image size that suits

the size of paper you plan to use for printing your images.

For details, see pages 67, 69, and 283.

How do I half-press the shutter button?

The shutter button is designed to stop about half way down

when you press it lightly. Stopping at this point is called a

"half-press". When you half-press the shutter button, the

camera automatically adjusts exposure and focuses on the

subject it is currently pointed at.

Mastering how much pressure is required for a half-press

and a full-press of the shutter button is an important

technique for good-looking images.

INTRODUCTION

IBattery Life

• Battery continuous operation times provided in this manual

represent the approximate amount of time before the camera

turns off due to low battery power when being powered by the

special battery under normal temperature (23°C (73°F)). They

do not guarantee that you will be able to achieve the indicated

level of operation. Actual battery life is greatly affected by

ambient temperature, battery storage conditions, the amount

of time spent in storage, etc.

• Leaving the camera on can run down battery and cause the

low battery warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever

you are not using it.

• The low battery warning indicates that the camera is about to

turn off due to low battery power. Charge the battery as soon

as possible. Leaving low or dead batteries in the camera can

lead to battery leakage and data corruption.

MData Error Precautions

• Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital

components. Any of the following creates the risk of

corruption of data in camera memory.

- While the camera is performing an operation, removing the

battery or memory card from the camera, or placing the

camera onto or removing it from the USB cradle

- While the operation lamp is flashing green after turning off

the camera, removing the memory card from the camera or

Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to

appear on the monitor screen (page 281). Perform the action

indicated by the message that appears.

c INTRODUCTION

IOperating Environment

• The operating temperature range of the camera is 0°C to

40°C (32°F to 104°F).

• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.

- In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of

moisture or dust

- Near an air conditioner or in other areas subjected to

extreme temperature or humidity

- Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area

subjected to strong vibration

ICondensation

• Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as when the

camera is moved from the outdoors on a cold winter day into

a warm room, can cause water droplets called "condensation"

to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera. Note

that condensation can cause malfunction of the camera. To

avoid condensation, place the camera into a plastic bag

before subjecting it to sudden temperature change. Wait until

the air in the bag has had enough time to become acclimated

to the new temperature before removing the camera. After

that, open the battery cover and leave it open for a few hours.

mPower Supply

• Use onlythe special rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-20)

to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not

supported.

• The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock.

The date and time settings of the camera are cleared about

one day after power is totally cut off (from both the battery and

USB cradle). If this happens, be sure to reconfigure these

settings after power is restored (page 192).

MLens

• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the

lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause

malfunction.

• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of

images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight.

This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not

indicate malfunction of the camera.

INTRODUCTION

ICaring for your camera

•Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the lens surface

can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid

touching the lens surface. To clean the lens surface, use a

blower to blow off dust or foreign matter and then wipe with a

soft, dry cloth.

• Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the flash can

interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid touching

the flash. If the flash becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft,

dry cloth.

• To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

IMonitor Screen Images

• The images that normally appear on the monitor screen

during image playback are smaller than normal, and so you

cannot see all of the detail of the actual image. Your camera

has an image zoom feature (page 154) which you can use to

enlarge the monitor screen image. You can use this feature

for on-the-spot checks of important images.

IOther Precautions

• The camera becomes slightlywarm during use. This is normal

and does not indicate malfunction.

When charging is complete

The [CHARGE] lamp, which was lit red during charging,

changes to green.

Remove the camera from the USB cradle and unplug the AC

power cord from the power outlet.

If the [CHARGE] lamp lights amber

This indicates that charging cannot be performed because you

have just finished using the camera, or because the temperature

in your location is too hot or too cold. If this happens, wait until

the camera returns to normal temperature. When the camera

returns to a temperature where charging can be performed, the

[CHARGE] lamp will light red.

GETTING READY

If the [CHARGE] lamp flashes red

This indicates that the camera or battery is faulty, or that the

battery is loaded in the camera incorrectly.

Remove the battery from the camera and check if its contacts

are dirty. If they are, wipe them off with a dry cloth and then

reload the battery into the camera. After confirming that the AC

adaptor is plugged into the power outlet and the USB cradle, set

the camera on the cradle again.

If an error still continues to occur after you perform the above I

steps, it could mean that the battery is faulty. Contact your I

nearest CASlO authorized service center.

• Use only the bundled USB cradle or the separately

available special charger unit (BC-11 L) to charge the

special rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-20). The

battery cannot be charged using any other type of charger

device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in

unexpected accident.

• Use only the AC adaptor that comes bundled with the

camera. Never use any other type of AC adaptor. Use of

screen indicates remaining power as shown below.

High Low

( m m

)))))i(IditC_))Light

blue _ Orange _ Red _ Red

"m" indicates that battery power is low. Charge the battery as

soon as possible.

Recording is not possible when "m" is indicated. Charge the

battery immediately.

• Due to differences in the power requirements of each

mode, the battery indicator may show a lower level in the

PLAY mode than what it shows in a REC mode. This is

normal, and does not indicate malfunction.

• Leaving the camera for about one day with no power

supplied while the battery is dead will cause its date and

time settings to be cleared. You will have to re-configure

the settings after power is restored.

3. While still holding the stopper, pull the battery

out the rest of the way.

4. Load a new battery.

Battery Precautions

MPrecautions during Use

• Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is

always less than operation under normal temperatures. This

is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.

• Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within

the range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside

this temperature range can cause charging to take longer

than normal or even cause charging to fail.

• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full

charge, it probably means that the battery has reached the

end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.

GETTING READY

I Storage Precautions

• Though a rechargeable lithium ion battery provides high

capacity in a compact configuration, long-term storage while

charged can cause it to deteriorate.

- If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use

up its charge before storing it.

- Always remove the battery from the camera when you are

not using it. Leaving a battery in the camera can cause it to

discharge and go dead, which will require longer charging

when you need to use the camera.

-Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).

Your camera supports use of SD,

SDHC, MMC (MultiMediaCard), or

MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)

memory cards.

MMC

'PLUS °

Memory Used for Storage

Images recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to

the memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images are

saved in built-in memory.

• Note that you cannot save images in built-in memory while a

memory card is loaded in the camera.

,, See the instructions that come with the memory card for

information about how to use it.

• Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. If

you are using a slow memory card, you may not be able to

record a movie using the "HQ" or "HQ Wide" image quality

setting. Because of this, use of a memory card with a

maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is

recommended.

,, Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data,

which can cause movie frames to be dropped. "_" and

"_" flash on the monitor screen during recording to let

you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of a

memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least

10MB per second is recommended.

,, SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a write

protect switch. Use it when you need to guard against

accidentally deleting data. Note, however, if you write

protect a memory card you must then turn write protection

off whenever you want to record to the card, format it, or

delete any of its images.

B GETTING READY

• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other

phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even

lost. Make sure that you always back up important data on

other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO disk, hard disk, etc.).

Loading a Memory Card into the Camera

• Make sure you always turn off the camera before loading or

removing a memory card.

• Be sure to orient the card correctly when loading it. Never

try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel

resistance.

1. Open the battery cover.

can lead to malfunction.

• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card

slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the battery,

and contact your retailer or nearest CASlO authorized

service center.

• Never remove a card from the camera while the operation

lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save

operation to fail and even damage the memory card.

Formatting a Memory Card

Before using a new memory card for the first time, you need to

format it. Once you format a memory card, you will not need to

format it each time you use it.

Formatting a memory card that already has files on it will delete

its contents.

Note that data deleted by a memory card format operation

cannot be recovered. Double-check to make sure that you

really want to delete all the contents of the memory card

before proceeding with the format operation.

Even if the file data on a memory card is protected (page

180), formatting the card will delete all its data.

Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card.

Formatting a memory card on a computer and then using it

in the camera can slow down data processing bythe

camera. In the case of an SD memory card or SDHC

memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-

conformity with the SD format, causing problems with

compatibility, operation, etc.

GETTING READY

1. Load the memory card you want to format into

the camera.

2. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].

3. On the "Set Up" tab, select "Format" and then

press [1_].

4. Use [A] and [V] to select "Format" and then

press [SET] to start formatting.

After formatting is complete, enter the PLAY mode and

check to make sure the "There are no files." message

appears on the monitor screen.

• To exit the format operation without formatting, select

"Cancel".

MMemory Card Precautions

• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore

normal operation by reformatting it. However, it is

recommended that you always take along more than one

memory card whenever using the camera far away from the

home or office.

• If you experience problems while trying to playback recorded

images, try re-formatting the memory card.

• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a

number of times, it loses its ability to retain data. Because of

this, periodic re-formatting of a memory card is

recommended.

• Make sure that the battery is charged fully before starting a

formatting operation. Formatting may not be performed

correctly and the memory card may be damaged if the

camera powers down while formatting is in progress.

• Never open the battery cover while formatting is in progress.

Doing so can damage the memory card.

_NOTE

• The aperture value indicates the size of the opening that

lets light into the camera. A larger aperture value indicates

a smaller opening. The camera adjusts this setting

automatically.

• Shutter speed indicates the amount of time that light is

allowed into the camera. A slower shutter speed means

that light is allowed in for a longer time. Shutter speed is

indicated on the monitor screen as seconds (1/1000

second, etc.) The camera adjusts this setting automatically.

If the image does not focus...

If the focus frame stays red and the operation lamp is flashing, it

means that the image is not in focus (because the subject is too

close, etc.). Point the camera at the subject and try to focus

again.

IUsing Quick Shutter

Pressing the shutter button all the way down without waiting at

the halfway point shoots the image using Quick Shutter (page

118). Quick Shutter lets you record right away, so you don't miss

those special moments waiting for Auto Focus.

• Quick Shutter focuses much quicker than normal Auto Focus.

It comes in handy when shooting a fast-moving subject. It also

eliminates worries of spoiled shots when you ask someone

else to record and image for you, and they press the shutter

button all the way without waiting for Auto Focus.

• Quick Shutter is turned on as the initial factory default setting.

In cases when you want to take a little time for accurate focus,

turn off Quick Shutter.

Specifying Image Size

Snapshot Shooting Precautions

IOperation

• While the operation lamp is flashing green, never open the

battery cover or place the camera onto or remove it from the

USB cradle. Doing so can result in incorrect storage of the

image you just shot, damage to other images stored in

memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.

• Shooting a dark subject while "Auto" is selected for the ISO

sensitivity (page 126) setting will cause the camera to

increase sensitivity and increase shutter speed automatically.

Such conditions can cause digital noise in the image.

• If unneeded light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the

lens with your hand when shooting an image.

mMonitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots

• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image

composition. The actual image will be recorded at the quality

set for the image quality setting.

• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen

response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor

screen image.

• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to

appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate

malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but

will be recorded in the case of a movie.

Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent

Lighting

• Minuteflickeringof fluorescentlightingcan affectthe

brightnessor colorof animage.

c SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT

Auto Focus Restrictions

• Proper focus may not be possible when shooting the following

types of subjects.

- Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject

- Strongly back lit subject

- Very shiny subject

- Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern

- Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera

- Subject in a dark location

- Subject that is too far away for light from the AF assist lamp

to reach

- Fast-moving subject

- Subjects outside the focus range of the camera

• Proper focus may not be possible if the camera is moved

while shooting.

• An image may be out of focus even though the operation

lamp is lit green and the focus frame is green.

If you cannot focus properly, try using focus lock (page 117)

or manual focus (page 119).

Your camera provides you with 3X optical zoom (which changes

the lens focal distance), which can be used in combination with

digital zoom (which digitally process the center portion of the

image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 12 - 42.6X.

• Generally speaking, the higher the digital zoom factor, the

coarser the image that is recorded. However, digital zoom

can be used up to a certain point without causing

deterioration of the image.

SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT

Perform the following steps to select the flash mode you want to

use.

Auto Flash Flash fires automatically in accordance with

exposure (amount of light and brightness)

conditions.

• Initial factory default setting.

Flash Off Flash does not fire.

Flash On Flash always fires.

• This setting can be used to brighten a

subject that normally comes out dark due

to daylight or backlight (daylight synchro

flash).

Soft Flash Always use soft flash, regardless of

exposure conditions.

• Use this setting when you want to

suppress the flash to avoid reflection, etc.

Red Eye Flash fires automatically in accordance

same conditions as Auto Flash. This setting

can be used to reduce the red eye effect that

occurs in images of people shot with flash.

Approximate Flash Range (ISO Sensitivity: Auto)

Wide Angle :0.15 m to 39 m (0.5' to 12,8')

Telephoto : 0.4 m to 2.0 m (1.3' to 6.6')

• The flash range changes in accordance with optical zoom.

SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT

_NOTE

• If you are using the "Normal" Screen Layout setting (page

54), each press of [V] ( } _] ) will cycle through the

available flash settings.

When using flash, take Flash

care that the flash window

is not blocked by your

fingers or the camera

strap.

When the ISO sensitivity

setting is "Auto" (page

126), sensitivity is high

and there is increased

digital noise when flash is

used. Decreasing ISO sensitivity shortens the range of the

flash, but is also reduces digital noise.

SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT

Red-eye reduction

Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause

red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is

caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of

the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode,

the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any

people in the image to close, which reduces the chance of red

eye.

• Note the following important points when using red-eye

reduction.

- Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in

the image are looking directly at the camera (flash).

Before pressing the shutter button, call out to the

subjects so they all look at the camera.

- Red-eye reduction may not work verywell if the subjects

are located far away from the camera.

IUsing Flash Assist

The subject in an image will look too dark if flash intensity is not

enough to reach a subject that is too far away. When this

happens, you can use flash assist to supplement the brightness

of the subject so it appears as if flash illumination was sufficient.

When you want to use flash assist, select "Auto" here.

• Flash assist may not produce the desired result for some

types of subjects.

• Any of the following can result in the flash assist effect

being canceled out.

- Changing the flash intensity (page 79)

- Correcting brightness (EV shift) (page 121)

- Changing ISO sensitivity (page 126)

- Changing the contrast setting (page 130)

• Using flash assist can cause an increase in digital noise.

MFlash Precautions

• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is

too far away or too close.

• Flash charging time depends on operating conditions (battery

condition, ambient temperature, etc.) With a fully charged

battery, it takes anywhere from a few seconds to 7 seconds.

• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a

slow shutter speed, which can cause image blur due to hand

movement. Secure the camera with a tripod, etc. Noise is

generated in images shot under these conditions, which can

make the image appear rough.

• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in

accordance with exposure. It does not fire in areas where

lighting is bright.

• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or

some other light source can cause abnormal image colors.

Movie Recording Precautions

• You cannot use flash while shooting a movie.

• The camera also records audio. Note the following points

when shooting a movie.

- Take care that the

microphone is not _,

blocked by your fingers,

etc.

- Good results are not

possible when the

camera is too far away

from what you are trying

to record. ]

- Operating camera Microphone

buttons while shooting

can cause button noise to be picked up in the audio.

• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to

appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate

malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but

will be recorded in the case of a movie.

• Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data,

which can cause movie frames to be dropped. "_" and

"_" flash on the monitor screen during recording to let you

know when a frame has been dropped. Use of a memory card

with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second

is recommended.

SHOOTING A MOVIE

• You can perform digital zoom while shooting a movie by

pressing [r_] ] Optical zoom is not available while shooting a

movie To use optical zoom for a movie use [r_l] to zoom as

required first and then press [ 0 ] to start recording

• The effects of camera movement in an image become more

pronounced when you shoot close up or a large zoom factor

Because of this use of a tripod is recommended under these

conditions

• When the subject is outside the camera's focus range

focusing is not possible and the image will be out of focus

• Auto Focus and Macro Focus become fixed focus while

shooting a movie (pages 113 114)

BEST SHOT Scene Limitations

• Business cards and documents, White board, etc., and Old

These scenes cannot be used to shoot a movie.

• Short Movie, Past Movie

These scenes cannot be used to shoot a snapshot.

• Voice Recording

These scenes cannot be used to shoot a snapshot or movie.

• Night Scene, Fireworks

These scenes use slow shutter speeds. Since a slow shutter

speed increases the chance of digital noise in the image, the

camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction

process on slow shutter images. Because of this, such

images take longer to store after you press the shutter button.

Do not perform any key operation while an image is being

stored. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image

blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter

speeds.

BEST SHOT scenes were not shot using this camera.

Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce

the results you expected due to shooting conditions and

other factors.

You can change the camera settings that are made when

you select a BEST SHOT scene. Note, however, that the

BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when you

select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera. If

you think you will later need to use a particular camera

You can manually adjust an image's exposure value (EV value)

before shooting it. This feature helps to achieve better results

when shooting a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, or

a subject that is against a dark background.

Exposure Compensation Value: -2.0EV to +2.0EV

Unit: 1/3EV

1. In the REC mode, press [MENU].

3. Use [A] and [V] to adjust the exposure

compensation value.

[A]: Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best used

for light-colored subjects and backlit subjects.

_' Increasing the EV value also works well with the

BEST SHOT "Backlight" scene.

[V]: Decreases the EV value. A lower EV value is best for

dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on a

clear day.

To cancel exposure compensation, adjust the value until it

becomes 0.0.

ISO sensitivity is a value that expresses sensitivity to light. A

larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for

shooting when available lighting is dim. If you want to use faster

shutter speeds, you should use a higher ISO sensitivity value.

Under certain conditions, a fast shutter speed in combination

with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise, which

makes an image appear rough. For clean, good-quality images,

use the lowest possible ISO sensitivity setting.

conditions according to the measured lighting pattern, and

makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of metering

provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of

shooting conditions.

[] Center Weighted

Center weighted metering concentrates on the

center of the focus area to measure light. Use

this metering method when you want to exert

some control over exposure, without leaving

settings totally up to the camera.

[] Spot

Spot metering takes readings at a very small

area. Use this metering method when you

want exposure to be set according to the

brightness of a particular subject, without

being affected by surrounding conditions.

• The metering mode will change to "Center Weighted"

automatically if you change the EV shift value (page 121 ) to

anything other than 0.0 while "Multi" is selected. The

metering mode will change back to "Center Weighted"

when the EV shift value is changed back to 0.0.

IHow to Use the Histogram

A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image

in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the

number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indicates lightness.

You can use the histogram to determine whether an image

includes the shadowing (left side), mid tones (center), and

highlighting (right) to bring out sufficient image detail. If the

histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use

EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance.

Optimum exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph

is as close to the center as possible. The histogram also

includes RGB histogram lines that show the distribution of R

(red), G (green), and B (blue) components. These lines can be

used to determine whether there is too much or too little of each

of the color components in an image.

Example Histograms

When the histogram is to the left, it

means that there are too many dark

pixels. This type of histogram results

when the overall image is dark. A

histogram that is too far to the left

may result in "black out" of the dark

areas of an image, as shown in the

nearby image.

When the histogram is to the right, it

means that there are too many light

pixels. This type of histogram results

when the overall image is light. A

histogram that is too far to the right

may result in "white out" of the light

areas of an image, as shown in the

nearby image.

ADVANCEDSETTINGS

133

A centered histogram indicates that

there is good distribution of light

pixels and dark pixels. This type of

histogram results when the overall

image is at optimal lightness, as

shown in the nearby image.

• Note that the above histograms are shown for illustrative

purposes only. You may not be able to achieve similar

shapes for particular subjects.

• A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee

optimum exposure. If you intentionally want to over expose

or under expose the image, you may not want a centered

histogram.

• Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may

not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration.

• Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause

the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the

actual exposure of the image when it was shot.

• The RGB (color component) histogram lines are displayed

for snapshots only.

Tell your print service about your DPOF settings!

If you take a memory card to a professional print service, be

sure to tell them that it includes DPOF settings for the images to

be printed and the number of copies. If you don't, the print

service may print all the images without regard to your DPOF

settings, or they may ignore your date stamp setting.

• Some printers may ignore time stamp settings or may not

support DPOF at all. Check the user documentation that

comes with your printer for details.

Date Stamping

You can use any one of the following three methods to include

the recording date in the printout of an image.

• Configure DPOF settings on the camera to specify date

stamping (page 205)

- If an image already has the date or time stamped into it

using the camera's Date Stamping feature, turning on

DPOF date stamping will cause the two dates to be

stamped in the same location. Be sure to turn off DPOF

date stamping when printing an image that is stamped with

the camera's Date Stamping function.

- Some printers may ignore time stamp settings or may not

support DPOF at all. Check the user documentation that

comes with your printer for details.

- Note that some professional print services do not support

DPOF printing. Check with your service before ordering

prints.

•The camera's Date Stamping feature stamps the date and

time directly into the image data (page 131).

Handling Precautions

• When saving camera data to a computer hard disk, MO disk,

or other medium, be sure to transfer the entire DCIM folder

and its contents. Changing the name of the DCIM to a date or

something similar after you copy it to your computer is a good

way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders. When moving the

folder back to the camera, however, be sure to change its

name back to DCIM This camera does not recognize any

folder name besides DCIM

All of the other folders inside the DCIM folder must also have

their original names if you transfer them back to the camera.

• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the

"Memory Folder Structure" shown on page 251 in order for the

camera to be able to recognize them correctly.
