File No. continued setting  
If a newly formatted card is used, the file name (image number) of the  
captured image automatically begins from 0001. If the card is subsequently  
reformatted, or if a different reformatted card is used, the file names again  
begin from 0001. This is because the file number continued function is set to  
“OFF”, and consequently it results in more than one card containing images  
with the same numbers. By setting the file number continued function to “ON”,  
even if the card is reformatted or the card is replaced with another card, the  
consecutive numbering of file names continues from the last number  
recorded by the camera.

Initializing the card memory and internal  
memory  
A card must be formatted with this camera:  
i After purchasing, when used for the first time, or  
i If it was formatted using a personal computer or another digital camera.  
The card cannot be reformatted if the lock switch is set to the “LOCK”  
position. Proceed with the reformat procedure after setting the lock switch to  
the unlocked position.  
CAUTION  
Caution during reformatting  
i Please do not turn off the camera or insert/remove the card while the card  
is being formatted.  
Reformatting erases the data  
i When the card or internal memory is initialized, all the recorded data is  
erased. Protected data is also erased, so before reformatting a card, any  
data you want to keep should be copied to your personal computer’s hard  
disk or other storage medium.  
Caution regarding disposing/transferring the card (recovering data from  
a reformatted card)  
i If a card is reformatted or the data is erased from the card using the  
camera or a computer, the card’s control data may be merely modified and  
the data itself may not be completely erased from the card.  
i In some cases it may be possible to recover the data from a reformatted  
card using special software for that purpose. However, if the camera is  
used to execute a full format, it will be impossible to recover the data even  
by the use of data recovery software.  
i If you are disposing of a card, it is recommended that you physically  
destroy it. If you are transferring the card to someone else to use, it is  
recommended that you use the camera’s full format function to reformat  
the card, or use commercially available software for erasing card data.  
Managing data is the responsibility of the user.

CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE  
When using the battery pack, the remaining battery pack charge can be  
checked on the monitor. Make sure to check this indicator before capturing an  
image.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the  
camera on.  
h The battery pack remaining charge  
indicator appears in the lower right  
corner of the monitor.

h Due to the battery pack  
characteristics, when the ambient  
temperature is low,  
may  
appear early for an incorrect  
indication of the remaining charge.  
Also, depending on the conditions  
of use of the camera or the ambient  
conditions (temperature, etc.), the  
indicated remaining charge may  
change. Therefore, this indication  
can only be used as a general  
approximation of the remaining  
charge.

HINT  
i If any data is present, you can also check the remaining battery pack  
charge on the Information Screen (page 28).  
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, etc.) or the ambient temperature (temperatures below 10°C  
[50°F]), 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 don’t 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.)
