G
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while  
the camera is switched on temporarily interrupts the  
power supply to the camera, so that images or movies  
being shot at the time are not recorded. Failing to switch  
the camera off first can also result in damage to the  
SmartMedia or malfunctions during PC connection.  
Charging times increase at low temperatures.  
If the self-timer lamp flashes during charging, a charging  
error has occurred and the battery cannot be charged. If  
this occurs, see P.122.  
Check that the camera is switched off. Plug the  
AC power adapter connector into the DC IN 5V  
socket on the camera and then plug the adapter  
itself into the main power outlet.  
The self-timer lamp lights red and battery  
charging begins. When charging is completed,  
the self-timer lamp switches off.  
A fully discharged battery takes roughly 5 hours  
to fully recharge (at an ambient temperature of  
+21°C to +25°C (+70°F to +77°F)).  
When you first switch the camera on, the date is  
cleared. Press the MENU/OKbutton to set the  
date and time.  
In Umode, the lens cover opens and the  
lens extends. Take care not to press on  
these precision components as this could  
result in a fault or a ¨ ”  
message being displayed on the LCD  
monitor. Take care also not to leave  
fingermarks on the lens as this will degrade  
the picture quality.

When you are using the viewfinder to take a  
picture at a distance of 0.8 m to 1.5 m (2.6 ft. to  
4.8 ft.), only the shaded area in the figure is  
photographed.  
To take the picture, press the shutter button  
down fully without lifting your finger off it. The  
camera beeps and takes the picture, and the  
data is then recorded.

AF frame  
!
G
If you press the shutter button down fully in one  
motion, the shot is taken without the AF frame  
changing.  
When you press the shutter button down halfway, the  
camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your  
subject (the viewfinder lamp (green) changes from  
blinking to steady). At that point, the AF frame on the  
screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the  
shutter speed and aperture.  
!
To frame your shot precisely, you should take the  
picture using the LCD monitor.  
G
Viewfinder  
!
When you take a picture, the viewfinder lamp lights  
orange (camera not ready) before switching back to  
green to indicate that the camera is again ready for  
shooting.  
The viewfinder lamp flashes orange while the flash is  
charging. If the LCD monitor is switched on, the  
screen may go dark for a moment. This is normal  
and does not indicate a fault.  
G
!
G
In some conditions it may be difficult to see your  
subject clearly on the LCD monitor (Such as in  
sunny weather outdoors or when you are shooting  
dimly lit scenes). In such situations, use the  
viewfinder to take the shot.  
The image shown on the LCD monitor before you  
take the shot may differ in its brightness, color, etc.  
from the image actually recorded. If necessary, play  
back the recorded image to check it (P.32).  
Using the viewfinder or LCD monitor, frame your  
shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto  
Focus) frame.  
!
!
G
If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and V”  
appears on the screen, the camera cannot focus.  
When you press the shutter button down halfway, the image  
on the screen freezes temporarily. However, this image is not  
the recorded image.  
If Vis displayed on the screen (e.g. the shot is too dark  
for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from  
your subject to take the picture.

I Charging the Battery  
I Battery Life  
h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those  
specified.  
Notes on Using the Battery (NP-60)  
h You can charge the NP-60 using the AC Power  
Adapter AC-5VS/AC-5VHS.  
At normal temperatures, the NP-60 can be used at  
least 300 times.  
This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery  
Pack NP-60. Note the points below when using the  
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the  
Safety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly.  
When shipped, the NP-60 is not fully charged. Always  
charge the NP-60 before using it.  
h Dispose of used batteries promptly.  
The NP-60 can be charged at ambient temperatures  
between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an  
ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes  
approximately 5 hours to charge a fully depleted  
NP-60 battery.  
You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient  
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and  
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature  
outside this range, charging takes longer because  
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.  
You cannot charge the NP-60 at temperatures of  
0°C (+32°F) or below.  
h You can also use the optional BC-60 Battery Charger  
to charge the NP-60.  
The NP-60 can be charged using the BC-60 Battery  
Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and  
+40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient  
temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately  
2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.  
You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient  
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and  
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature  
outside this range, charging takes longer because  
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.  
If the time for which the NP-60 provides power shortens  
markedly, this indicates that the NP-60 has reached the  
end of its effective life and should be replaced.  
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its  
life, observe the following:  
h Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to  
strong impacts.  
h Do not immerse the battery in water.  
Notes on storage  
h When carrying the NP-  
60, install it in a digital  
Lithium-ion Battery Pack NP-60 is both compact and  
capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if  
It is stored for long periods while charged, the  
performance of the battery can be impaired.  
h If the battery will not be used for some time, run the  
battery flat before storing it.  
To ensure that you obtain optimum battery  
performance, observe the following:  
camera or keep it in the  
soft case.  
Battery  
(NP-60)  
h When storing the NP-60,  
h Always keep the battery terminals clean.  
h Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the  
battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten  
the battery life.  
Soft case  
place it inside the special  
soft case provided.  
h Always remove the battery from the camera or battery  
charger when it is not being used.  
h Place the battery pack inside the soft case and store  
in a cool place.  
I Battery Features  
If you use the battery for a long period, the camera  
body and the battery itself will become warm. This is  
normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power  
adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking  
pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.  
h The NP-60 gradually loses its charge even when not  
used. Use a NP-60 that has been charged recently (in  
the last day or two) to take pictures.  
The battery should be stored in a dry location with an  
ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C  
(+59°F and +77°F).  
h To maximize the life of the NP-60, switch the camera  
off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.  
h The number of available shots will be lower in cold  
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare  
fully charged NP-60.  
You can also increase the amount of power produced  
by putting the NP-60 in your pocket or another warm  
place to heat it and then loading it into the camera  
just before you take a picture.  
Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.

The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured  
using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, small  
bright points and anomalous colors (particularly around  
text) may appear on the monitor. These are normal display  
characteristics and do not indicate a fault with the monitor.

Explanation of Terms  
DPOF:  
Motion JPEG:  
WAVE:  
Digital Print Order Format  
A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format  
that handles images and sound as a single file.  
Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format.  
Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0  
or later.  
A standard format used on Windows systems for  
saving audio data. WAVE files have the .WAVfile  
extension and the data can be saved in either  
compressed or uncompressed format. This camera  
use PCM recording.  
DPOF is a format used for recording information on  
a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that  
allows you to specify which of the frames shot using  
a digital camera are printed and how many prints  
are made of each image.  
WAVE files can be played back on a personal  
computer using the following software:  
Windows : MediaPlayer  
PC Card:  
EV:  
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card  
Standard.  
A number that denotes Exposure Value. The EV is  
determined by the brightness of the subject and  
sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number  
is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark  
subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes,  
a digital camera maintains the amount of light  
hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the  
aperture and shutter speed.  
Macintosh: QuickTime Player  
QuickTime 3.0 or later  
PC Card Standard:  
A standard for PC cards determined by the  
PCMCIA.  
White Balance:  
Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye  
adapts to it so that a white object still looks white.  
On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras  
see a white subject as white by first adjusting the  
color balance to suit the color of the ambient light  
around the subject. This adjustment is called  
matching the white balance. A function that  
automatically matches the white balance is called  
an Automatic White Balance function.  
PCMCIA:  
Personal Computer Memory Card International  
Association (US).  
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles,  
the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is  
halved, the EV decreases by 1.  
VGA/QVGA:  
Graphics standards for PCs. Images are displayed  
at 640 × 480 and 320 × 240 pixels respectively.  
JPEG:  
Joint Photographics Experts Group  
A file format used for compressing and saving color  
images. The compression ratio can be selected, but  
the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the  
quality of the expanded image.
