Remove the battery from the battery charger whencharging is finished.

The time required to fully charge the battery is about 120 minutes (max.).
(The charging time may vary depending on the ambient temperature andcharging conditions.) The appropriate ambient temperature for charging
the battery is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

1
Getting Started• Do not charge batteries other than the rechargeable lithium ion D-LI92
battery using the supplied D-BC92 battery charger. Doing otherwise
may cause damage or overheating.
• The battery has reached the end of its service life when it starts to run
down soon after being charged. Replace it with a new battery.
• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails tolight, the battery may be faulty. Replace it with a new battery.

Installing the Battery
Use the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI92 that is provided with thecamera. Charge the battery before using it in the camera for the firsttime.

any other type of battery may damage the camera and cause
malfunction.
• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is incorrectly oriented,
malfunction may result.
• Do not remove the battery while the camera is turned on.
• When storing the battery for more than 6 months, charge the battery
for 30 minutes using the battery charger and store the battery
separately.
Be sure to recharge the battery every 6 to 12 months. Storing thebattery below room temperature is ideal. Avoid storing it in hightemperatures.
• The date and time may be returned to the default setting if the camera
is left without the battery for a long time.
• Be careful as the camera or the battery may become hot when thecamera is used continuously for a long period of time.
• Allow the camera to dry completely before changing the battery. Avoid
changing the battery where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, andmake sure that your hands are dry.

• Do not use excessive force when sliding the battery/card cover open
and closed because the waterproof packing may peel off. If thepacking is not in the correct position, the camera will not be waterproof.

Installing the SD Memory Card

• 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 the Memory” (p.230) for
instructions on formatting.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing
the SD Memory Card.

Memory Card if a card is inserted in the camera. They are saved in thebuilt-in memory if a card is not inserted (p.49).

• The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of
the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels andquality level (p.299).
• The power lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being accessed(data is being recorded or read).

Backing Up Data
The camera may not be able to access data in the built-in memory in the caseof a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back up important data inanother location.

switchformatted by the camera or a computer.
r appears on the display when the card iswrite-protected.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately afterusing the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Keep the battery/card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory Cardor turn the camera off while images are being played back or saved to thecard, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable, as thismay cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it awayfrom water and store away from high temperature.
• Never remove the SD Memory Card while it is being formatted. This may
damage the card and make it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted. This
includes the following:(1) When the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) When the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electricalinterference.
(3) When the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) When the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while thedata on the card is being recorded or accessed.
• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become unreadable.
Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a computer.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity orelectrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed
to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may
stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in thememory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used onanother camera. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.230).

About the red-eye phenomenon
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in
the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash isreflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area aroundthe subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle.
Setting the flash mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also
an effective way of reducing red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be correctedby the red-eye compensation function (p.203).
