completely refill it with images containing no private information (for example,
images of empty sky). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property
when physically destroying data storage devices.
To delete the Wi-Fi settings, select Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options
menu (A64).

Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada
(IC)
Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licenceexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this
device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research.

the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around
the other faces.
Shooting Features
If the shutter button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:
• In x (scene auto selector) mode, the focus area changes depending on the
scene.
• In Portrait and Night portrait scene modes or in smart portrait mode, the
camera focuses in the center of the frame.

closest to the camera.
Notes About Face Detection
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the
direction in which the faces are looking.
• The camera cannot detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus
indicator is displayed in green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun
behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject
wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is
inside a cage)
• Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple
rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.)

Movie frame+auto info, you can confirm the area that will be captured in
a movie before you start recording.
Maximum Movie Recording Time
Notes About Camera Temperature
• The camera may become hot when shooting movies for an extended period of
time or when the camera is used in a hot area.
• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the
camera will automatically stop recording.
The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B10s) is
displayed.
After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.
Recording and Playing Back Movies
Individual movie files cannot exceed 2 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even
when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.
• The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the
shooting screen.
• The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie
content, subject movement, or type of memory card.
• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are
recommended when recording movies (A136). Movie recording may stop
unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used.

Notes About Movie Recording
Notes About Saving Images or Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing
the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do
not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the
battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in
loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.
Notes About Recorded Movies
Recording and Playing Back Movies
• When recording movies with f 720/30p or V 720/25p selected for Movie
options, the angle of view (the area captured in the recorded movie) is smaller
than when taking still images.
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement,
movie vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may
be recorded.
• Smear (A115) visible in the monitor with movie recording will be recorded with
movies. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric
lights when recording movies is recommended.
• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored
stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows,
etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the
subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a
malfunction.
Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording
• When Movie VR (A85) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of
view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording.
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Movie VR to Off
to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording
Autofocus may not perform as expected (A46). Should this occur, try the following:
1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) before
starting movie recording.
2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the
intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record)
button to start recording, and modify the composition.
