INFORMATION
Important information about battery usage
Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion.
Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods.
Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.
Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may
experience reduced battery life.
Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.
During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is
perfectly normal.
If you are planning to use this camera for long periods of time, it is advisable to use an
AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A).
Using the AC power adapter (3.3V 2.0A)
If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC
Adapter (3.3V 2.0A) allows the camera to be used for
long periods of time.
Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN
3.3V) on the camera.
Remove the batteries from the camera when using an
AC adapter.
DANGER
Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply.
As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera
nor adapter comes into contact with water or metallic materials.
Please ensure that you use an AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A) with the correct specification for
the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

camera shake warning indicator (
) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case,
use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash
shot mode.
Backlight compensated shots : When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as
the image may be dark because of the strong backlight. In backlight conditions, please
use exposure compensation. (refer to page 51).
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the
resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you
use the LCD monitor to compose these shots.
Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries.
We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as
possible in order to extend battery life.
Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected.
- When photographing a subject that has little contrast.
- If the subject is highly reflective or shiny.
- If the subject is moving at high speed.
- When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright.
- When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow
(such as a stick or flagpole).
- When the surroundings are dark
- If the subject is the same colour as the background

form on the delicate electronic circuitry.
If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed.
Moisture build up can also occur in the memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and
remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

Important notes
Caution on Using the Lens
- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in discoloration and deterioration of the
image sensor.
- Do not apply excessive force to the zoom lens.
- Pay attention not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.
If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can
occur. It is a good idea to remove the batteries and the memory card if you
do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.
If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to
protect the memory card.
Camera Maintenance
- Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to gently clean the lens and LCD assemblies.
If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used.
Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera to come into contact with
solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc. This may damage the body shell
of the camera and also affect its performance.
Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep the
camera in its protective carry case at all times when not in use.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.
Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire.
This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction.
When images are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be
affected by static electricity. In this case, disconnect and re-connect the
USB cable before trying the transfer again.
