This is for recording still pictures using the timer.

Each time the icon is selected, the indication changes by one setting in the following

order:

Ø10 (Records after 10 seconds) # Ø2 (Records after 2 seconds) # setting cancelled

≥When the button is pressed, a still picture is recorded after the Ø10 or Ø2 display

and the recording lamp flashes for the time which has been set. After recording, the self-

timer is cancelled.

≥In auto focus mode, if the button is pressed halfway once and then fully, the lens

focuses on the subject when the button is pressed halfway. If the button is pressed

fully all at once, the lens focuses on the subject just before recording.

To stop the timer midway through

Press the MENU button.

≥Setting the self-timer to Ø2 is a good way to prevent image shake when the button is

pressed while using a tripod etc.

This brightens dark parts so the image can be recorded clearly.

≥If there are extremely dark parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be

clear.

This makes the image brighter to prevent darkening of a backlit subject.

This makes skin colours appear softer for a more attractive appearance.

This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.

≥If the background or anything else in the scene has colours similar to the skin colour, they

will also be smoothed.

≥If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.

≥If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case,

cancel soft skin mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record.

A more impressive image can be obtained by focusing on the object only in close-up

and shading off the background.

continuous use, or for any industrial or

commercial application resulting in

prolonged use.

≥In certain situations, continuous use could

cause the unit to overheat and cause a

malfunction. Such use is strongly

discouraged.

When you are not going to use the unit

for an extended time

≥When storing the unit in a cupboard or

cabinet, it is recommended that you place

a desiccant (silica gel) in with it.

The battery used in this unit is a

rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is

susceptible to humidity and temperature and

the effect increases the more the

temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, the

full charge indication may not appear or the

low battery indication may appear about

5 minutes after starting use. At high

temperatures, the protection function may

be triggered, making it impossible to use the

unit.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.

≥If the battery is left attached, a minute

amount of current continues to flow even if

the unit is off. Keeping the unit in this state

may result in over discharge of the battery.

This may result in you not being able to

use the battery even after it is charged.

≥The battery should be stored in the vinyl

bag so metal does not come into contact

with the terminals.

≥The battery should be stored in a cool

place free from humidity, with as constant

temperature as possible. (Recommended

temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC,

Recommended humidity: 40%RH to

60%RH)

≥Extremely high temperatures or low

temperatures will shorten the life of the

battery.

≥If the battery is kept in high-temperature,

high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the

terminals may rust and cause

malfunctions.

≥To store the battery for a long period of

time, we recommend you charge it once

every year and store it again after you

have completely used up the charged

capacity.

≥Dust and other matter attached to the

battery terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out

for recording.

≥Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4

times the period you are planning to

record for. Cold places such as a ski resort

can shorten the period which you can

record for.

If you drop the battery accidentally,

check to see if the terminals are

damaged.

≥Attaching a battery with damaged

terminals can damage the unit or AC

adaptor.

Do not throw old battery into fire.

≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire

may result in an explosion.

If the operating time is very short even

after the battery has been recharged, the

battery has worn out. Please purchase a

new battery.

≥If the temperature of the battery is

extremely high or extremely low, charging

may take time or the battery may not be

charged.

≥If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make

sure that the terminals of the battery or the

AC adaptor are not exposed to dirt, foreign

objects or dust, then reconnect them

properly.

Disconnect the AC cable from the AC

outlet when you remove dirt, foreign

objects or dust on the terminals of the

battery or the AC adaptor.

If the charging lamp is still flashing, the

temperature of the battery may be

extremely high or extremely low or

something may be wrong with the battery

or AC adaptor. Contact your dealer.

≥If you use the AC adaptor near a radio,

radio reception may be disturbed. Keep

the AC adaptor 1 m or more away from

the radio.

≥When using the AC adaptor, it may

generate whirring sounds. However, this is

normal.

≥After use, be sure to disconnect the AC

adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute

amount of current is consumed.)

≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC

adaptor and battery clean.

≥When the 3D Conversion Lens has not

been used for a long period of time, check

to see if there is any looseness in the

attachment of the 3D Conversion Lens

and adjust the attachment position before

use.

≥When not in use, put the lens caps on,

place it inside the lens storing bag, and

store in a place with low humidity.

≥When requesting a repair of the 3D

may be in the unit.

About 3D recording

Attach the 3D Conversion Lens securely.

It must not be used with an insecure

attachment.

Do not use the 3D Conversion Lens

without adjusting it first.

≥It will not be possible to record 3D video

correctly, and this may lead to tiredness or

discomfort.

≥When you re-attach the 3D Conversion

Lens after removing it, we recommend

making the adjustments again.

With the 3D Conversion Lens attached,

do not record a subject at less than the

minimum focus distance.

≥The 3D effects may be more pronounced,

and therefore cause tiredness or

discomfort.

≥The minimum focus distance is

approx.1.2 m.

When recording with the 3D Conversion

Lens attached, be careful not to shake

the unit.

≥Tiredness or discomfort may result if the

shake is pronounced, due to riding in a

vehicle or walking etc.

≥When moving the unit as you record,

move it slowly.

≥We recommend using a tripod.

changed as follows.

≥When this unit is brought inside from the

cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.

≥When this unit is moved from an

air-conditioned car to outside.

≥When a cold room has been warmed up

quickly.

≥When cool wind from an air conditioner is

directly blown onto this unit.

≥After summer afternoon showers of rain.

≥When this unit is in a very humid place

where the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a

heated swimming pool)

Helpful hint

If, for example, you have used this unit for

recording on a ski slope and are taking it into

a heated room, place the unit inside a plastic

bag, remove as much of the air from inside
