Inserting/Removing the Battery Pack and Memory Card
● If you insert the battery pack facing the wrong way, it cannot be locked
into the correct position. Always conrm that the battery pack is facing
the right way and locks when inserted.
● Any setting you are currently adjusting may be cleared if you remove
the battery pack while the camera is on.
● Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another
device, you should format the card with this camera.
● Recording is not possible on memory cards with a write-protect switch
when the switch is in the locked position. Slide the switch to unlock it.
● Make sure the memory card is facing the right way when you insert
it. Inserting memory cards facing the wrong way may damage the
camera.
Setting the Date, Time, and Time Zone
● Set the current date, time, and zone correctly if the [Date/Time/Zone]
screen is displayed when you turn the camera on. Information you
specify this way is recorded in image properties when you shoot, and
it is used when you manage images by shooting date or print images
showing the date.
● To set daylight saving time (1 hour ahead), set [
] to [ ] on the
[Date/Time/Zone] screen.
● If the date/time/zone settings have been cleared, set them again
correctly.
Initial Preparations
Charging the Battery Pack
● Before use, charge the battery pack with the included charger. Be sure
to charge the battery pack initially, because the camera is not sold with
the battery pack charged.
● To protect the battery pack and keep it in optimal condition, do not
charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.
● Battery charger problems may trigger a protective circuit that stops
charging and makes the charge lamp blink in orange. If this happens,
disconnect the charger’s power plug from the power outlet and remove
the battery pack. Attach the battery pack to the charger again and wait
a while before connecting the charger to a power outlet again.
● The charger can be used in areas with 100 – 240 V AC power
(50/60 Hz). For power outlets in a different format, use a commercially
available adapter for the plug. Never use an electrical transformer
designed for traveling, which may damage the battery pack.
● Charged battery packs gradually lose their charge, even when they are
not used. Charge the battery pack on (or immediately before) the day
of use.
● As a visual reminder of the charge status, attach the battery cover with
visible on a charged battery pack and concealed on an uncharged
one.
