About the Battery
This camera uses the rechargeable battery DB-100, a dedicated
lithium-ion battery supplied with the camera. The rechargeable
battery needs to be charged before use. The battery is not charged at
the time of purchase.
Number of shots you can take ----------------------------------------------------
Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 330
* When [LCD Auto Dim] (G P.100) is set to [On].
• Based on CIPA standard. (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on,
30 seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-
angle or wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the
power off after each 10 shots)
• You can take approximately 310 shots when [LCD Auto Dim] is set to [Off].
• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you
can take (G P.40).
• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods
of time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots)
will decrease. If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we
recommend carrying a spare battery.
Caution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera
off and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.
• Please remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long
period of time.
• When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium-
ion battery (DB-100). Do not use any other battery.

About the Electronic Level
When [Level Setting] is turned on in the setup menu or by pressing
and holding the DISP. button, the camera uses a level indicator
and level sound to let you know whether the image is level during
shooting. The level indicator is displayed during normal symbol display
and histogram display.
This is useful for keeping the image level when taking pictures of
scenery or buildings. This is also very useful for taking pictures with the
horizon visible.

indicator appears in a different place).
Caution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off
(G P.40), the level sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed.
When [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound], only the level sound is emitted.
• The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when
recording movies, and during interval shooting.
• The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when
shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.
• No level sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound] or
[Sound] and [Volume Settings] is set to [ꢀꢀꢀ] (Mute) (G P.100).
• Use this function as a reference to see if images are level when shooting

About the Histogram Display
9999
4:3 F
When Histogram is on, a histogram
appears in the lower right corner on the
picture display. A histogram is a graph
indicating the number of pixels on the
vertical axis and the brightness on the
horizontal axis (from left to right, shadows
(dark areas), midtones, and highlights
(bright areas)).
By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an image
without being affected by the brightness around the picture display.
This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright or dark.
If the histogram has only peaks on the
right side, this picture is overexposed
with too many pixels only for highlight
sections.
If the histogram has only peaks on the left
side without anything else, this picture
is underexposed with too many pixels
only for shadow sections. Refer to this
histogram when correcting the exposure.
Note-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The histogram displayed on the picture display is for reference only.
• After taking a picture, you can correct its brightness and contrast by making
adjustments to the histogram (G P.92).
• Depending on the shooting conditions (use of the flash, dark surrounding light,
etc.), the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the
brightness of the shot image.
• Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the
best possible result.
• A histogram with peaks in the center may not necessarily provide the best result
to suit your particular requirements. For example, an adjustment is required if
you want to underexpose or overexpose the image.
• For information on how to correct the exposure compensation, see P.82.

Dynamic Range Double Shot
“Dynamic range”refers to the range of brightnesses (tone levels) that
can be expressed by the camera. Dynamic range double shot creates a
smooth transition from highlights to shadows for natural contrast.
Note-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With dynamic range double shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with
different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are
combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes,
so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The J symbol is always
displayed.

Cautions on Use
Cautions on Use
• This product was manufactured for use in the country in which it was
purchased. The warranty is only valid in the country in which the camera was
purchased.
• Should the product fail or malfunction while you are abroad, the
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or
bearing the expenditure incurred therefore.
• Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.
• While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other
objects. Take special care to not hit the lens and picture display.
• Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it
consecutively more than necessary.
• Do not touch the flash and keep foreign objects away from the firing unit.
Doing so can cause burns and fires.
• Do not fire the flash near eyes. It could cause visual impairment (particularly
for infants).
• Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.
• The battery may become hot after extended use. Touching the battery
immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.
• If the picture display or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become
washed out and images may become hard to view.
• The picture display and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain
lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven
because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.
• Do not forcefully press the surface of the picture display.
• In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation
may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass
surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a
bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the
bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased
to a fairly small amount. If condensation occurs, remove the battery and
memory card, and wait until the moisture has dried before using the camera.
• To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera’s
microphone or speaker holes.
10
• Do not get the camera wet. Do not operate the camera with wet hands. This
can result in malfunction or an electrical shock.
• Before taking any important pictures (such as at weddings, on trips abroad,
etc.), test the camera to check operation and ensure proper functioning. We
recommend that you keep this manual and spare battery on hand.
