Notes Connect the battery charger to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). When charging is finished, disconnect the power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet (wall socket), and remove the battery pack from the battery charger. If you leave the charged battery pack on the charger, battery life may be decreased. Do not charge any battery pack other than the InfoLITHIUM H series battery pack in the battery charger (supplied) with your camera. Batteries other than the specified kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a risk of injury from electrocution and burns. If the battery charger is dirty, charging may not be performed successfully. Clean the battery charger with dry cloth, etc.
To use your camera abroad Power sources You can use your camera and the battery charger and the AC-PW10AM AC Adaptor (sold separately) in any country or region where the power supply is within 100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Note Do not use an electronic transformer (travel converter), as this may cause a malfunction.
Inserting the charged battery pack
1 While sliding the battery cover
open lever, open the battery cover.
2 Firmly insert the battery pack all
the way while pressing the lock lever with the tip of the battery.
Lock lever
3 Close the battery cover.
To remove the battery pack Turn off the camera and slide the lock lever in the direction of the arrow. Be careful not to drop the battery pack.
To check the remaining battery level Set the power switch to ON and check the level on the LCD monitor.
Battery exhausted High Low You cannot shoot any more pictures.
Battery level
What is an InfoLITHIUM battery pack? An InfoLITHIUM battery pack is a lithium-ion battery pack that has functions for exchanging information related to operating conditions with your camera.
Notes The displayed level may not be correct under certain circumstances. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant. Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
Available battery packs Only an NP-FH50 battery pack can be used with the camera. Note that the NP-FH30 and NP-FH40 cannot be used. Effective use of the battery pack Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery pack can be used is shorter in cold places and the speed of continuous shooting slows down. We recommend that you put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in your camera immediately before you start shooting. The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash frequently, use continuous shooting often, or turn the camera on and off frequently. The time available in the Live View mode is shorter than that in the viewfinder mode. When you feel that the battery consumption is too fast, switch to the viewfinder mode. Doing so makes the battery last longer. Battery life The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. If the battery operating time seems shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Buy a new battery pack.
When you turn the camera on for the first time, the date/time setup screen appears. Preparing the camera
1 Set the power switch to ON to turn
the camera on.
To turn the camera off, set it to OFF.

Precautions
Do not use/store the camera in the following places
In an extremely hot, dry or humid place In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become deformed and this may cause a malfunction. Under direct sunlight or near a heater The camera body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a malfunction. In a location subject to rocking vibration Near strong magnetic place In sandy or dusty places Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the camera to malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.
On operating temperatures
Your camera is designed for use under the temperatures between 0 and 40C (32 and 104F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera. How to prevent moisture condensation When bringing the camera from a cold place to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the new location over about an hour. If moisture condensation occurs Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
On storing
Be sure to attach the lens cap or body cap when not using the camera. When attaching the body cap, remove all the dust from the cap before placing it on the camera. When you purchase the DT mm F3.5 5.6 SAM Lens Kit, purchase the Rear Lens Cap ALCR55 also.

Before you record one-time events, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly. This camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof. Do not look at the sun or a strong light through a removed lens or the viewfinder. This may cause irrecoverable damage to your eyes.
Or it may cause a malfunction of your camera. Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or emits radiation. The camera may not be able to record or play back properly. Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions. If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera (page 167). Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to malfunctions and an inability to record images, this may render the memory card unusable, or cause image data breakdown, damage or loss. Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface, resulting in insufficient light emission. Keep the camera, supplied accessories, etc., out of the reach of children. A memory card, etc., may be swallowed. If such a problem occurs, consult a doctor immediately.
