AC adapter

DC coupler

DC terminal

Make sure that the camera is turned off and open the battery/card/terminal cover. Remove the battery.
Refer to p.36 - p.37 on how to open/close the battery/card/terminal cover and remove the battery.
Insert the DC coupler, as shown in the illustration, while holding down the battery lock lever.
Confirm the DC coupler is locked in place. The battery/card/terminal cover will not close while the DC coupler is inserted. Leave the cover open when using the AC adapter and do not attempt to close it.
Connect the DC terminal of the AC adapter to the DC terminal of the DC coupler. Connect the AC plug cord to the AC adapter. Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.
Make sure that the camera is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter. Make sure that the AC plug cord and the DC terminal connecting the AC adapter to the camera are inserted securely. Data may be lost if either becomes disconnected while data is being recorded on the SD Memory Card or the built-in memory. Do not use excessive force when sliding the battery/card/terminal cover open and closed because the waterproof packing may peel off. If the packing is not in the correct position, the camera will not be waterproof. Use the AC adapter with due care to avoid fire or electric shock. Be sure to read About the Battery Charger and the AC Adapter (p.2) before using the AC adapter. Be sure to read the operation manual accompanying the AC adapter kit K-AC88 before using the adapter. When connecting the AC adapter, you cannot set the camera upright on the table because the cord from the DC coupler comes out of the bottom of the camera.
Installing the SD Memory Card
This camera uses either an SD Memory Card or an SDHC Memory Card. (Both cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.) Captured images and sound files are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted in the camera. They are saved in the built-in memory if a card is not inserted (p.46).
Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital devices. Refer to Formatting an SD Memory Card (p.192) for instructions on formatting. Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing the SD Memory Card. Do not use excessive force when sliding the battery/card/terminal cover open and closed because the waterproof packing may peel off. If the packing is not in the correct position, the camera will not be waterproof. Avoid changing the SD Memory Card where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that the camera and your hands are completely dry. The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels and quality level (p.45). The self-timer lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being accessed (data is being recorded or read).

Press the Q button or the shutter release button halfway.
The camera switches to A mode.
Displaying data stored in the built-in memory When an SD Memory Card is inserted in the camera, images, movies, and sounds on the SD Memory Card are displayed. If you want to display images, movies and sounds in the built-in memory, turn the camera off and remove the SD Memory Card, or follow the procedure below to use the Built-in memory display function.
Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing the SD Memory Card. Viewing images in the built-in memory while the SD Memory Card is inserted (built-in memory display) When you press and hold down the Q button for more than one second in A mode, the message [Display image/sound from built-in memory] appears, and the images, movies and sound files stored in the built-in memory are displayed. In the built-in memory display, you can play back still pictures (including enlarged display) (p.136, p.146), movies (p.137) and sounds (p.186), and switch between four-/nine-image display, folder display and calendar display (p.138). In the built-in memory display, you cannot delete data, delete a selection, display the Playback Mode Palette or display the menu. If you want to perform any of these operations on images, movies or sounds in the builtin memory, do so after removing the SD Memory Card.
