Camera Body Temperature

If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may

become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating

the camera for an extended period.

About the LCD Monitor

The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision

manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate

to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally

misfire or appear as red or black dots. This has no effect on the

recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.

Video Format

Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your

region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 124).

Charging the Date/ Time Battery

• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that maintains

the date, time and other camera settings. This battery recharges when

the main battery pack is inserted into the camera. When you first

purchase the camera, place a charged battery pack in it or use the AC

adapter kit (sold separately) for at least 4 hours to charge the date/time

battery. It will charge even when the camera power is set to Off.

• If the Set Date / Time menu appears when the camera power is turned

on, it means that the date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it

as described above.

Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other

equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to

strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems

Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures

may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and

internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an

airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature

changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera

Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.

Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and

battery or Compact Power Adapter (if connected) from the camera and

wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.

Extended Storage

When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the

battery pack and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the

camera for extended periods with a battery pack installed will run

down the battery pack and may damage the camera. Please note,

however, that the date, time and other camera settings may reset to

the default settings if the battery pack has been removed for more

than three weeks. Follow the instructions in this guide to reset the

desired settings.

Preparing the Camera

Handling Precautions

•Keep the battery pack terminals ( ) clean at all times. Dirty

terminals may cause poor contact between the battery pack and

camera. Polish the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging

or using the battery pack.

•Do not rapidly overturn or wave the battery charger around when it

contains the battery pack. The battery pack could fly out.

•At low temperatures, battery pack performance may be reduced and the

low battery icon may appear earlier than usual. Under these conditions,

resuscitate the battery pack by warming it in a pocket immediately

before use. However, ensure that there are no metallic items in the

pocket that could cause a short circuit, such as a key holder, etc.

•Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions,

on top of the battery charger while it is charging. Heat will build up and

could result in a fire.

•Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack NB-1LH or NB-1L in this

charger.

•The battery pack continues to discharge a minimal portion of its power

while installed in the camera, even with the power off, or in the charger.

This will shorten battery life.

•Do not allow any metal objects such as keyrings to touch the “+” and “-”

terminals (Fig. A), as this can damage the battery pack. To carry the

battery pack or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the

terminal cover (Fig.B) or place it in the supplied case and store it in a cool,

dry place. Recharge it fully before using it again.

•If the performance of the battery pack diminishes substantially even

when it is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it should be

replaced.

Handling Precautions for CF Cards

•CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them,

apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.

•Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.

•Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes will cause

condensation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid

condensation, place the CF card in a sealed plastic bag before moving

it into a different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the

new temperature. If condensation forms on the CF card, store it at

room temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally.

•Do not use or store CF cards in the following types of location.

- Locations subject to dust or sand

- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures

•See CF Cards and Estimated Capacities (p. 140).

Basic Functions

Viewfinder

•About the Autofocus Function

This camera employs AiAF (artificial intelligence autofocus)

technology which uses a broad metering field to calculate

the focal distance with high precision. It delivers a crisp focus

even when the photographic subject is slightly off-center.

The AiAF function can be turned off so that the autofocus

is metered from a fixed AF frame at the center of the field

to accommodate difficult shooting conditions (p. 62).

•Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded Image

Please note that the actual image may differ from the

image seen in the optical viewfinder due to the physical

separation between the viewfinder and lens. This is called

the parallax phenomenon and is more noticeable the closer

the subject is to the lens. In some cases, portions of images

shot up close that appear in the viewfinder will not appear

in the recorded image. You are recommended to use the

LCD monitor to shoot images up close.

Using the Viewfinder

The optical viewfinder can be used to conserve power by setting the

LCD monitor to Off (p. 29) while shooting. The field of vision is

approximately 82% at the telephoto end setting.

04-124usCUGE_042_059_GM.p65 7/26/02, 11:13 AM47

Shooting

•When you use flash photography at higher ISO speeds, the

chances of white streaks appearing in the image increase

the closer you approach to the subject.

•Since a slow shutter speed is selected in dark places when

the flash is set to Off or Slow-Synchro, take care to avoid

blurring the image.

- Shooting in Mode

Be careful to hold the camera still to avoid camera shake.

- Shooting in

or Mode

Fix the camera to a tripod to shoot in these modes since

the shutter speed will be slower than in the mode. If

an image is dark in mode, reshooting it in mode

will make it brighter.

•When shooting with the flash, light may reflect off dust

particles or insects in the air and appear as white spots or

white asterisks on the image. This occurs more frequently with

wide-angle shots. This phenomenon is common to digital

cameras and does not indicate a malfunction.

•The flash can be fired when the upper indicator lights a steady

orange.

•The flash may take up to approximately 10 seconds to charge.

The recharging time will vary with such factors as the shooting

conditions and battery charge.

•The flash fires twice. The main flash follows a preparatory pre-

flash. The exposure reading obtained from the subject with the

pre-flash is used to set the optimal flash intensity for the main

flash, which is used to capture the image.

Red-Eye Reduction

•Light reflecting back from eyes can make them appear red when

the flash is used in dark areas. Under these conditions, use the red-

eye reduction mode. For this mode to be effective, the subject

must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking

them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be

obtained by shooting with the lens set to a wide angle, increasing

the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.

•The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after

the red-eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the

effect. If you want a more immediate shutter response, set the

flash to , or .

Shooting in Stitch Assist Mode

Stitch Assist mode can be used to shoot overlapping images that can

later be merged (stitched) to create one panoramic image on a

computer.

•To merge the images on a computer, use PhotoStitch, one

of the supplied programs.

Framing a Subject

The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions of adjoining

images and merges them. When shooting, try to include a distinctive

item (landmark) in the overlapping portions.

•Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 - 50% of the adjoining

image. Try to keep the vertical misalignment to less than 10% of the

image height.

•Do not include moving items in the overlap.

The overlapping seams of

several adjacent images can be

joined into a single panoramic

image.

card directly to the printer using the camera buttons. In addition, you

can have prints made to specification by a photo developing service by

sending your CF card with the DPOF (Digital Print Order Format ) print

settings set in advance on your camera.

Please refer to the System Map supplied with your camera for direct

print function compatible printer information.
