3 Q&A

Troubleshooting (Continued)

LCD monitor (continued)

Date/age is not displayed. Current date, TRAVEL DATE (P.53), and ages in BABY and PET (P.48) scene modes are only displayed for approx. 5 sec. after start-up, setting changes, or mode changes. They cannot be always displayed.

Recording (continued)

Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference. ISO sensitivity is high, or shutter speed is low. (Default SENSITIVITY setting is AUTO interference may appear with indoor pictures.) Lower SENSITIVITY (P.57). Set COLOR MODE to NATURAL (P.62) Take pictures in brighter locations. Camera set to HIGH SENS. or HI-SPEED BURST scene modes. (Picture becomes slightly coarser in response to high sensitivity) Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life. Taking pictures under fluorescent lighting may require a faster shutter speed and result in slightly changed brightness or coloring, but this is not a fault. Reddish vertical line (smear) appears during recording. This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighter areas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. This will be recorded in motion pictures, but not in still pictures. We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such as sunlight when taking pictures. Motion picture recording stops midway. Using MultiMediaCard (not compatible with motion picture recording). We recommend using a card of at least 10 MB/s (as marked on its packaging, etc.). With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.

4 Usage cautions and notes

Memory cards

Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts. Do not touch connectors on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet. If using the format or delete functions on your camera or computer, this only

When in use

Camera may become warm if used for long periods of time, but this is not a fault. To avoid jitter, use a tripod and place in a stable location. (Especially when using telescopic zoom, lower shutter speeds, or self-timer) 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 and sound 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 and sound. 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 and sound. 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 (DMW-AC5PP; optional). 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 and sound may be adversely affected. Do not extend the supplied cord or cable. Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).
To prevent damage to cards and data electricity.
When disposing of/transferring memory cards
changes the file management information, and does not completely delete the data from within the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying the memory card itself, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.

Battery and Charger

Store battery in battery carrying case after use. Do not use if damaged or dented (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can cause faults). The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the RBRC hotline at 1-800822-8837 for information. Estimated recording capacity of 300 [330 1] pictures (P.16) is based on the following CIPA 2 standards. 1 DMC-TZ4
