Handling and storage precautions
Camera
z To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never
leave the camera in the places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through
extreme changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other
heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable items or explosives.
• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain.
• In places subject to strong vibrations.
z Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
z Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens
damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly start a fire.
z Condensation may form inside the camera when there is a sudden extreme
change in temperature (such as when moving from indoors to outdoors).
Acclimatize the camera to the temperature (e.g. by putting the camera into
a plastic bag) before use.
z If the camera has not been used for a long time, mold may form or the
camera may malfunction. Before using the camera, check that the camera
works properly.
z Do not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses.
Remember to attach the cap when removing the lens.
14
Safety precautions
z Do not place the camera near anything that could be affected by magnetism
(e.g. credit card, floppy disk, etc.). Doing so may destroy the data on these
items.
LCD monitor
z Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become fuzzy,
resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor. If the monitor
is damaged, be careful not to get any of the liquid crystals from the monitor
in your mouth. If liquid crystals get on your limbs or clothes, wash them off.
z A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor. This is not a
malfunction.
z When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear
to zigzag on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; It will be less noticeable
in playback mode.
z In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long
time to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera
in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm
place. A LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures
will recover in normal temperatures.
z The LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black
spots or bright spots of light may appear on the LCD monitor. These spots
may not be uniform in color and brightness depending on their
characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor. This is not
a malfunction.

Printing
Let’s print your shots!
You can print your images at photo labs or on your own printer.
If you print at photo labs, you'll find the print reservation
function helpful. Print reservation allows you to save the
number of prints and the date and time information on the
card.
If you print on a printer, there are a number of different ways to
do it. One method is to connect your digital camera to an
exclusive printer and print out recorded pictures directly from
the camera. The other is to transfer images to a computer and
print them on a printer connected to the computer.

Print reservation (DPOF)
<
Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the
date/time information) with the pictures stored on the card.
DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from
digital cameras. You can print out pictures automatically, at home or in a photo
lab, by storing such data as which pictures you wish to print and the number of
prints on a card.
Pictures set with print reservation can be printed using the following
procedures.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible photo lab
You can print the pictures using the print reservation data.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer
Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data
without using a PC. For more details, refer to the printer's instruction manual.
A PC card adapter may also be necessary depending on the printer.
Picture size and printing
9
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots
(pixels) per square inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi
value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the
picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a
higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you
can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as
possible when taking the pictures. g "Selecting the record mode" (P. 29)
Printing
Notes
• DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera. Make
changes using the original device.
• If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering reservations
using this camera will erase the previous reservations.
• If there is not enough space in the card memory, CARD FULL will be displayed and
you may not be able to enter the reservation data.
• You can make DPOF print reservations for up to 999 images per card.
• Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all photo labs.
• Print reservation may take considerable time when saving printing data to a card.

to the printer, select the pictures you want to print and the number of prints on
the camera's monitor. It is also possible to print out pictures using the print
reservation data (g P. 140).
To find out if your printer is compatible with PictBridge, refer to the printer's
instruction manual.
PictBridge
The standard that enables digital cameras and printers made by different
manufacturers to be connected, and also allows pictures to be printed directly
from the camera.
< STANDARD
All printers that support PictBridge have standard print settings. By selecting
[< STANDARD] on the settings screens (g P. 149), you can print pictures
according to these settings. For details on your printer's standard settings,
refer to the printer's instruction manual or contact the printer manufacturer.
Printer accessories
For details on printing paper types, ink cassettes, etc., refer to the printer's
instruction manual.
