k Caution concerning undesired interference i The camera may create undesired interference if used close to a television or radio. To avoid this type of interference, make sure the cores on the supplied cables are not removed. Dedicated USB interface cable Dedicated S-AV interface cable
k Caution concerning magnetism i Do not place credit cards, bank cards, floppy disks, or other items that may be damaged by magnetic fields near the speaker. Data may be lost or the magnetic strips on cards may be damaged. k Cautions concerning data storage i It is recommended that any important data be copied onto a separate media (such as a hard disk, MO disk, or CD-R disk). i Stored data may be lost (or corrupted) in cases such as those listed below. Sanyo Electric will not be held responsible for any damage or lost profits arising from the loss of data. h If the card is used incorrectly. h If the card is not inserted correctly into the camera. h If the card is subjected to electrical or mechanical shocks or other forces. h If the card is removed from the camera or if the camera is turned off during reading or writing operations. h If the card has reached the end of its usable life.
k Cautions when handling the cards i The cards are precision devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject them to strong forces or shocks. i Avoid using or storing the cards in places with extremely high or low temperatures, subject to direct sunlight, in a completely closed vehicle, near air conditioners or heaters, or in humid or dusty locations. i Avoid using or storing the cards in locations where strong static electrical charges or electrical noise can be easily generated. i Do not allow the edges of the cards to become contaminated with foreign materials. Gently wipe away any contamination with a soft, dry cloth. i Do not carry the cards in trouser pockets, as the cards may become damaged when you sit down or make other movements that may apply forces. i Before using a new card or a card that was used in other equipment, be sure to format it using the camera (see FORMATTING A CARD on page 134). i When buying commercially available products, carefully read the instructions and warnings that come with the card. k Caution concerning high temperatures i During shooting, when the internal temperature of the camera becomes high, the \ icon will appear on the LCD monitor. When the \ icon appears, it is still possible to capture and play back images for a while. However, if the temperature rises further, it will become impossible to record (although playback will still be possible). In this case, discontinue shooting as soon as possible, and wait until the temperature falls before using the camera again. Note that particularly when shooting video clips, soon after the \ icon appears, the remaining shooting time indication will appear, and when that figure becomes 00:00:00, further shooting is impossible.

English 132

HINT i If any data is present, you can also check the remaining battery pack charge on the Information Screen. i Battery life may differ even among battery packs of the same type. i Depending on the usage of the camera (such as the number of times the flash is used, the use of the LCD monitor, etc.) or the ambient temperature (temperatures below 10C [50F]) the number of images that can be saved on a fully charged battery pack will vary greatly. i It is recommended that you prepare an extra battery pack(s) when taking pictures at a wedding or while traveling, for example, so you dont miss capturing images of important moments due to the battery pack power running out. The same is recommended for taking photos in cold environments. (In a ski area, for example, the battery pack can be kept warm in your pocket until ready to use.)

Which resolution setting should I use?
What is the difference between the digital zoom and the optical zoom?
Action All settings except the self-timer and the exposure correction are retained even after the camera is turned off. Select the resolution setting according to the intended use: x: Appropriate for printing letter-size or larger, and for printing a close-up of part of a photo (trimming). Q, G: For printing standard photo (photo service) sizes. [: For photos displayed on a web page, or sent as email attachments.
