Batteries with a flat negative terminal. Do not use such batteries even if the insulation adequately covers the area around the negative terminal.

Alkaline Batteries

Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a reliable brand.

EN-MH1 Batteries

Using an MH-71 battery charger, charge EN-MH1 batteries before first use. Charge each pair of batteries at the same time do not charge batteries one at a time or mix batteries with different charges. Note that EN-MH1 batteries may discharge quickly immediately after purchase or after the batteries have been left unused for an extended period. This is normal, and the batteries will retain a charge for longer periods after being used and recharged several times. For more information on charging batteries, see the documentation provided with the MH-71.
Alternative Power Sources
To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-62B AC adapter (Q 105). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

Inserting Memory Cards

Pictures can be stored in the camera's internal memory (about 14 MB) or on Secure Digital (SD) memory card. If no memory card has been inserted in the camera, pictures will be stored in the memory, and if the camera contains a memory card, then pictures will automatically be stored on the card. To store pictures in the internal memory, remove the memory card.
Confirm that the camera is off
The power-on lamp should be off.

Basic Photography

Step 1 - Select P Mode
This section details the basic steps involved in taking pictures in P (auto) mode. In this automatic, "point-and-shoot" mode, the majority of camera settings are controlled by the camera in response to shooting conditions, producing optimal results in most situations.

Step 3 - Focus and Shoot During Recording
While pictures are being recorded to the memory or memory card, the green (AF) lamp blinks, and the < icon lights or the memory icon }// blinks. You can continue to take pictures until the < icon is displayed. Do not turn the camera off, eject the memory card, or remove or disconnect the power source while picture are being recorded. Cutting power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
Getting Good Results with Autofocus
Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the background and the subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject is very dark or moving rapidly, if there are objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind your subject and their features are in deep shadow), or if there are several objects at different distances from the camera at the center of the frame (e.g., your subject is inside a cage).
Focusing on Off-Center Subjects: Focus Lock
If your subject is not at the center of the frame when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, your picture may be out of focus. To focus on an off-center subject:
Focus Position the subject in the center of the frame and press the shutter-release button halfway. Check the green (AF) lamp and focus indicator With the shutter-release button pressed halfway, check that the green (AF) lamp and focus indicator glow steadily, indicating that the subject is in focus. Focus and exposure will remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Recompose the picture Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway, recompose your picture. Do not change the distance between the camera and your subject while focus lock is in effect. If your subject moves, remove your finger from the shutter-release button and focus again at the new distance. Take the picture Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot.

Caring for Your Camera

Cleaning
One key to cleaning the lens is to not touch it with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove fingerprints or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges.

Monitor is blank
