Remove the battery from the battery charger whencharging is finished.

29• Do not use the supplied battery charger (D-BC108) to charge batteries
other than the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI108, as the battery
charger may overheat or be damaged.
• 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.

1
Getting Started

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).

Connect the AC plug cord to the AC adapter.
Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before connecting or
disconnecting the AC adapter.
• Make sure that the AC plug cord and the DC terminal connecting theAC adapter to the camera are inserted securely. Data may be lost ifeither becomes disconnected while data is being recorded on the SD
Memory Card or the built-in memory.
• Use the AC adapter with due care to avoid fire or electric shock.
Be sure to read “About the Battery Charger and the AC Adapter” (p.2)
before using the AC adapter.
• Be sure to read the operation manual accompanying the AC adapter
kit K-AC108 before using the adapter.
• When connecting the AC adapter, you cannot set the camera uprighton the table because the cord from the DC coupler comes out of thebottom of the camera. Additionally, do not place the camera with thelens facing down because the lens extends when the camera turns on.
Hold the camera in your hand or use a tripod when using the AC
adapter.

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 in other cameras or digital
devices. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.158) for
instructions on formatting.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing
the SD Memory Card.

1
Getting Started

This camera uses either an SD Memory Card or an SDHC Memory Card.
(Both cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.) Captured
images are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted in thecamera. They are saved in the built-in memory if a card is not inserted(p.39).

• The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of
the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels(p.38).
• The power switch 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.

Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card

1
Getting Started• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a writeprotect switch. Setting the switch to LOCK
prevents new data from being recorded on thecard, the stored data from being deleted, andthe card from being formatted by the camera or
Write-protect
computer.
r appears on the display when the card is
switchwrite-protected.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately afterusing the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Keep the card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory Card or turnthe camera off while images are being played back or saved to the card, orthe camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable, as this may
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.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage thecard and render 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(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 card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the card is ejected or the battery is removed while the data on thecard 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 an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used onanother camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.158).

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 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.144).
