Keep the camera away from water and other
liquids. Do not use the camera with wet
hands. Never use the camera in the rain or
snow.
Keep the camera and its accessories out of
the reach of children and animals to prevent

If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming
from the camera, turn the power off
immediately. Take the camera to the nearest
authorized service center for repair. Never
attempt to repair the camera yourself.
Use only the recommended power

Safety information
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within
an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to
the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage
within your shelf system’s enclosure that may be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying your
shelf system.

Before using the camera, read and understand
the safety precautions described below. Always
make that you operate the camera correctly.
• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or
other intense light sources that could
damage your eyesight.
• Do not try to open the case of the camera or
attempt to modify this camera in any way.
High-voltage internal components create the
risk of electric shock when exposed.
Maintenance and repairs should be carried
out only by authorized service providers.

Appendix
Understanding folder and file names
Your digital camera automatically creates a
directory of folders in the internal memory or
memory card. It uses these folders to organize
still images, movie clips, and other information.

Folder structure
Folder names begin with a three-digit number
from 100 to 999, followed by “DICAM.” Each
folder holds up to 9999 files. If new files are
created, a new folder named in sequence will be
made automatically.

File naming
File names begin with “DSCI,” and are followed
by a four-digit number that increases
sequentially. File numbering starts from 0001
when a new folder is created.
If the highest folder number is 999 and the
highest file number exceeds 9999, the camera
displays the warning message “Folder cannot be
created.” When it appears, try one of the
following solutions:
• Reset the file number and plug in a new
memory card.
• The folder number and file numbers are
initialized and renumbered from 100 and
0001 respectively.
Note
Do not change the folder and file names on the
memory card using your computer. If you do, you
may be unable to play back the data using the
digital camera.
