INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND  
CARD  
Your camera has an internal memory, which means that you can take photos  
even when no card is installed. By using a card, however, you will be able to  
take many more photos.  
The card can be used after it has been formatted with the camera (page 84).

CAUTION  
Be careful when removing the card.  
i Do not attempt to forcibly remove the card.  
i Never remove the card when the camera is connected to a computer or  
printer, or when the self-timer indicator is flashing quickly. In doing so, you  
risk losing the data stored in the card.  
Manganese batteries cannot be used.  
i Not only do manganese batteries have a short battery life, but there is the  
danger of their overheating and causing damage to the digital camera.  
Other batteries  
i If you wish to use batteries other than the alkaline batteries (LR6), we  
recommend the following.  
h AA-size nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries (SANYO  
eneloop HR-3UTG) × 2  
h AA-size Ni-Cd batteries (SANYO AA-size 2700 Series HR3-UG) × 2  
Do not open the battery/card cover when the camera is turned on.  
i If the battery/card cover is opened while the power is on, important data  
may be lost. Uniden Corporation shall not be held responsible for any  
losses that result from failure to comply with this warning.  
HINT  
Shooting without a card installed  
i When a card is installed, images are recorded to and played back from the  
card. When no card is installed, images are recorded to and played back  
from the camera’s internal memory. When the camera is turned on with no  
card installed, the internal memory icon  
is shown on the monitor to let  
you know that the images you capture will be saved to the camera’s  
internal memory.  
About the internal backup battery  
i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time  
settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully  
charged when the batteries are kept in the camera continuously for about 2  
days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the  
camera settings for about 7 days.  
When not using the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.  
i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it  
is therefore recommended that the batteries be removed from the camera  
if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the batteries are  
removed for a long period, the time and date settings may be cleared.  
Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the camera  
settings are correct.

About the auto power off function  
In order to preserve battery power when, for example, the camera has  
accidentally been left on, the camera is furnished with an “auto power off”  
function by which the camera automatically turns off after a certain period of  
inactivity (about 1 minute during shooting or about 3 minutes during playback  
[factory default settings]).  
i If the auto power save function has operated to turn the camera off, press  
the on/off button to turn it back on.  
i You can change the setting for the time elapsed before the camera  
automatically turns off (page 79).  
i When the camera is connected to a computer or printer using the USB  
Cable, the auto power save function is disabled, and the camera turns off  
after about 12 hours.  
HINT  
If the K icon appears...  
i When a picture is taken, the date and time it was captured is recorded with  
it. When the date and time cannot be recorded with the image because the  
date and time have not yet been set (page 19), the K icon appears. To  
have the date and time recorded with images, please make this setting  
before capturing images.

Hints for taking pictures  
Where is the image data saved?  
i All the image data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory or on the  
card installed in the camera.  
i When a card is installed in the camera, the data is recorded on the card. If  
no card is installed, the data is recorded in the camera’s internal memory.  
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...  
i When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to  
the characteristics of the CCD, light lines or ghost patterns (flare  
phenomenon) may appear in the captured image. In this situation, it is  
recommended that you avoid taking pictures with the subject lit from  
behind.

When the camera focuses and the target mark appears, at the same time, the  
shutter speed and aperture settings are also displayed. You can use them as a  
reference when shooting.  
If the motion alert icon appears...  
i During still image shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility  
that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the  
motion alert icon may appear on the monitor. In this case, use a tripod to  
stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to  
automatic (page 43).  
i When shooting with the scene function set to the fireworks ^ mode, the  
motion alert icon always appears, but this is normal.

FILE No. RESET FUNCTION  
If a newly formatted (page 84) 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 reset function  
is set to “ON”, and consequently it results in more than one card containing  
images with the same numbers. By setting the file number reset function to  
“OFF”, 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.

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 If you are disposing of a card or are transferring the card to someone else,  
it is recommended that you physically destroy it, or use commercially  
available software for erasing card data.

install a new card, or save the images to a computer and then erase them  
(page 34) from the card.  
i When the remaining number of images or the remaining video recording  
time is “0”, it may be possible to capture a few more images by changing  
the resolution setting or video clip mode setting (page 51).  
i The maximum number of images is 9,999, and the maximum video  
recording time is 99:59:59. Note that if a large-capacity card is used, the  
remaining number of images or recording time may not be correctly  
displayed.

CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE  
HINT  
i If any data is present, you can also check the remaining battery charge on  
the Information Screen (page 71).  
i Battery life may differ even among batteries 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 fully charged batteries  
will vary greatly.  
i It is recommended that you prepare extra batteries 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 power running out. The  
same is recommended for taking photos in cold environments. (In a ski  
area, for example, the batteries can be kept warm in your pocket until  
ready to use.)

HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES  
Taking great pictures in difficult surroundings is easier than you might think.  
By keeping a few points in mind and choosing the correct settings, you can  
create photos that you’ll be proud to display and share.  
Basic photography  
If images are blurred even when the autofocus is used  
Your camera employs an autofocus function. When you snap a picture using  
the autofocus, the camera automatically adjusts the settings so that the  
image will be in focus. If you are getting blurred images even when using the  
autofocus, one or more of the following might be the reason.  
k How the autofocus works  
The autofocus is activated when the  
shutter button is pressed halfway. Press  
the shutter button slightly, and the target  
mark will appear on the monitor to indicate  
that the autofocus has been activated.  
Next, continue to gently press the shutter  
F2.8  
1/30  
button all the way to snap the picture. This  
two-step method is the way to ensure that  
your photos are perfectly focused.  
Target mark  
k Reasons for unfocused images  
1 The shutter button was pressed fully in one motion.  
2 After the image was focused, the subject moved.  
h Even if camera focuses the subject once, if the distance between the  
camera and the subject is changed, the subject may become out of  
focus.  
3 The focus setting is not set for the correct distance.  
h If you shoot a close-up subject with the camera set to the normal focus  
mode, or if you shoot a subject at normal distance with the camera set  
to the macro (close-up) mode (page 47), the image will not be in focus.

HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES  
k Preventing blurred images  
1 Confirm that the camera is set to the correct focus mode for your subject.  
2 Hold the camera correctly, and press the shutter button halfway.  
3 Wait for the target mark to appear in the monitor, and holding the camera  
steady, gently continue to press the shutter button all the way down.  
Following these steps for a gentle but firm pressing of the shutter button will  
ensure that you get beautifully focused photos.

Shooting with the scene function  
Shooting portraits (portrait mode Z)  
Points:  
i Choose a background that doesn’t detract from  
your subject.  
i Move in close to your subject.  
i Pay attention to lighting and how it affects your  
subject.  
NOTE  
i If the background is distracting, it will not show  
your subject to his best advantage. Move in closer to your subject or zoom  
in so that the background does not compete with the subject.  
i In portrait photography your subject is clearly the central figure, so try  
techniques that allow the subject to stand out.  
i If light is coming from behind your subject (backlit), his face will appear  
dark. You can get a better picture by using the flash, for example, or  
changing the exposure setting.  
Photographing moving subjects (sports mode Y)  
Points:  
i Match the camera’s movement with that of the  
subject.  
i Set the zoom to the Wide end (wide-angle).  
i Don’t be too hesitant to press the shutter  
button, or you’ll miss the action.  
NOTE  
i Tips to not missing those great action shots:  
Make sure you’re holding the camera correctly. Keep the subject in the lens  
at all times, moving the camera with him while waiting for the right shot.  
Move your whole body–not just your arms–with the camera while shooting.  
i Blurred images are more likely when the zoom is set to the Tele end than  
the Wide end. Set the zoom as close as possible to the Wide end.  
i Learn to press the shutter button quickly yet smoothly the instant your  
photo chance occurs.  
English 126  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Night photography (night view portrait mode ])  
Points:  
i Avoid camera shake.  
i Increase the ISO sensitivity.  
NOTE  
i Camera shutter speed during night  
photography is considerably slower, so there is  
a much greater chance that your photographed  
images will be blurry. Use a tripod whenever possible, or if a tripod is not  
available, you can lean against a wall or pillar to help stabilize the camera.  
i You can photograph your subject with the night scene in the background by  
using the flash. Be careful not to shoot too close to the subject or your  
subject’s face will appear too bright.  
i After the flash operates, keep the camera and the subjects motionless for  
about 2 seconds.  
Photographing scenery (landscape mode \)  
Points:  
i Shoot using a high resolution.  
i For zoom photography, use the optical zoom.  
i Pay attention to picture composition.  
NOTE  
i When shooting with a wide-angle setting, or if  
you intend to enlarge the photo, the higher the  
resolution, the better.  
i To zoom in on distant scenery, it’s better to use the optical zoom. Using the  
digital zoom produces a coarser image. Hold the camera securely, keeping  
your elbows close to your body and making sure the camera is stable.  
Using a tripod or other means of stabilizing the camera will increase the  
likelihood of getting a clear photo.  
i Don’t forget to pay attention to picture composition; note perspective and  
be aware of how the placement of objects affects the scene.
