Printing the Pictures

Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one. Do not disconnect the USB connection cable while [ACCESS] is displayed. If battery power is exhausted while the camera and the PC are communicating, the recorded data may be damaged. Use a battery with sufficient battery power (P19) or the AC adaptor. If the remaining battery power becomes low while the camera and the PC are communicating, the status indicator blinks and the alarm beeps. In this case, stop the communication at once on the PC. When connecting the camera to a Windows 2000 OS PC with the USB connection cable, do not replace the card while the camera and the PC are connected. The information on the card may be damaged. Disconnect the USB connection cable before replacing the card. Be careful about the following when connecting the camera to a USB 2.0 (High Speed) compatible PC. Operation is not guaranteed if you are connecting 2 or more USB products to a PC or connecting the camera with a USB Hub or a USB extension cable. The camera may not operate normally if connected to the USB terminal on the keyboard. Pictures edited or rotated with a PC may be displayed in black in playback mode (P44), multi playback (P48) and calendar playback (P49). For information about this, refer to the separate operating instructions for PC connection. Read the operating instructions for the PC. By connecting the camera directly to a printer supporting PictBridge via the USB connection cable (supplied), you can select the pictures to print and start printing on the cameras screen. Set print settings such as the print quality on the printer beforehand. (Read the printer operating instructions.)

Cautions for Use

Optimal use of the camera Take care not to drop or knock the unit or put a lot of pressure on it. Take care not to drop or knock the bag that you inserted the unit in as it may strongly shock the unit. A strong shock may break the lens, screen or outer case and cause the camera to malfunction. Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.). If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures on the camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation. Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures. Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors. Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the camera, disturbing the pictures. If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor. Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on. Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines. If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures may be adversely affected.
Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the cords and the cables supplied with them. Do not extend the cords or the cables. Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals. If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the surface finish may peel off. Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time. Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaning the camera. Remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet before wiping the camera. The body of the camera may be damaged and the surface finish may peel off. Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. Use a dry, dust cloth to remove dirt and dust on the zoom ring, focus ring and aperture ring. Do not use a kitchen detergent or a chemically treated cloth. The camera is not waterproof. If rain water or other drops of water splash onto the camera, wipe it with a dry cloth. If the camera does not operate normally, contact the dealer or your nearest servicenter.

6: The recorded picture is blurred. The optical image stabilizer is not effective. The shutter speed will become slower and the optical image stabilizer function may not work properly when taking pictures especially in dark places. In this case, we recommend holding the camera firmly with both hands when taking pictures (P31, 51). We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P67) when taking pictures with a slow shutter speed. 7: The recorded picture looks rough. Noise appears on the picture. Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow? (ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures indoors etc. the ISO sensitivity increases.) Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P71) Set [NOISE RED.] in [FILM MODE] towards [_] or set every item except [NOISE RED.] towards [`]. (P77) Take pictures in bright places. Is [LONG SHUTTER NR] in the [CUSTOM] menu set to [OFF]? (P87) 8: The picture cannot be recorded with Live View. If you use Live View for a long period of time or where the temperature is high, the temperature of the image sensor will increase. A message may appear on the screen and Live View may become unusable. In this case, switch to using the viewfinder for taking pictures or turn the camera off for a short while.
9: A shutter sound is heard twice when taking pictures with Live View. If you press the shutter button fully, the shutter sound is heard twice and 1 picture is taken. The first shutter sound is heard when the shutter returns to the position before a picture is taken and the second shutter sound is heard when the picture is actually taken 10:The shutter sound is heard once when taking pictures with Live View however a picture is not taken. The shutter sound is heard in auto focus when the mirror goes down and then goes up after pressing the shutter button halfway to enable the camera to focus or when the shutter button is released immediately after pressing it fully. However a picture is not taken. LCD monitor/Viewfinder 1: A flickering vertical line appears on the LCD monitor under fluorescent light. High luminance light sources turn black. If you move the camera quickly left and right when taking pictures, the dark parts of the subject may appear as if they have a purple or green afterimage. The LCD monitor may flicker for a few seconds after turning the camera on indoors under fluorescent light. This is not a malfunction. This does not affect the pictures you are recording. 2: The LCD monitor is too bright or dark. Adjust the brightness of the LCD monitor. (P28) Is the camera in High angle mode? (P53) 3: Black, red, blue and green dots appear on the LCD monitor. These pixels do not affect the recorded pictures. This is not a malfunction.
