2 Getting Started

Getting Started

Attach the lens cap to the strap, and then attach the strap to the camera.

B Lens Cap At times when you are not shooting images, attach the lens cap to the lens to protect it.

How to Attach the Camera Strap and Lens Cap

Attach the strap at two places.

3Getting Started

With the batterys positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move the orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).

Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5). Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or backward, as

this could cause a malfunction.

B Formatting a Memory Card The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, make sure to format it with this camera. Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and other

data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep before formatting the memory card.

Insert the memory card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in the setup menu (A22).

Removing the Battery or Memory Card Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and screen have turned off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover. Move the battery latch to eject the battery. Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory card. Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after

using the camera, as they may be hot.

Inserting the Battery and Memory Card

Battery latch Memory card slot

4 Getting Started

If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the Charging AC Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly remove the plug adapter could damage the product. * The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in which the

camera was purchased. This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to the Charging AC Adapter.

Charging starts when the camera is connected to an electrical outlet while the battery is inserted, as shown in the illustration. The power-on lamp (charge lamp) slowly flashes while the battery is charging.

When charging is complete, the power-on lamp turns off. Unplug the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the USB cable. Charging time is about 3 hours for a fully exhausted battery.

The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp quickly flashes, possibly due to one of the reasons described below. - The ambient temperature is not suited to charging. - The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected. - The battery is damaged.

B Notes About the USB Cable Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21

could result in overheating, fire or electric shock. Check the shape and direction of the plugs and do not insert or remove the plugs at an

angle.

B Notes About Charging the Battery The camera can be operated while the battery is charging, but the charging time

increases. The power-on lamp (charge lamp) turns off while the camera is being operated. - Movies cannot be recorded while the battery is charging.

Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than the EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

You can adjust the direction and angle of the monitor. For normal shooting, fold the monitor against the back of the camera, facing out (5).

When you are not using or carrying the camera, fold the monitor against the camera body with the screen facing in (1).

B Notes About the Monitor When moving the monitor, do not apply excessive force and move slowly within the monitors adjustable range so that the connection will not be damaged.

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.

C The Auto Off Function When no operations are performed for about one minute, the screen turns off, the camera

enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.

To turn the screen back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an operation such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.

C When Using a Tripod We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:

- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode set to W (off ) - When the zoom is at a telephoto position

When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A22) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

Using the Flash In situations where a flash is needed, such as in dark locations or when the subject is backlit, press the m (flash pop-up) button to raise the flash. When not using the flash, gently push to lower the

flash until it clicks shut.

Recording Movies Display the shooting screen and press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording a movie. Press the b (e) button again to end recording.

11Basic Shooting and Playback Operations

Switching Between the Monitor and Viewfinder It is recommended that you use the viewfinder when bright conditions make it difficult to see the monitor, such as when outdoors in sunlight. When you bring your face close to the viewfinder,

the eye sensor responds to it and the viewfinder turns on, and the monitor turns off (default setting).

You can also press the x (monitor) button to switch the display between the monitor and viewfinder.

Diopter Adjustment of the Viewfinder When the image in the viewfinder is difficult to see, adjust by rotating the diopter adjustment control while looking through the viewfinder. Take care not to scratch your eye with your

fingertips or nails.

B Notes About Checking and Adjusting Image Colors Use the monitor on the back of the camera because the monitor has higher color reproducibility than the viewfinder.
