Read This First Please Read Test Shots Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and being operated correctly.
• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap around the child’s neck could result in asphyxiation. • Be particularly careful to keep the date battery used in the camera away from children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery.
• Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or electrical shocks. • Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
Cautions • Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the compact power adapter to charge the battery pack or power the camera.
Quick Start 1 Install the Battery (p. 19). Open the battery cover and insert the battery while pressing the battery lock. Battery lock 2 To power outlet Indicator Charge the Battery (p. 16). Check that the power is off. Charge the battery. The battery is approximately 90% charged (adequate charge for use) when the orange indicator beside the viewfinder stops blinking and lights steadily. After charging, detach the compact power adapter’s DC plug from the camera. 3 Install the CF card (p. 22).

Microdrives are a recording medium with a hard disk. Their merits are a large capacity and a low price per megabyte of capacity. However, they can be more susceptible to vibrations and shocks than CF cards, which use durable flash memories. Please be careful, therefore, not to subject the camera to vibrations or shocks when using a microdrive, especially while recording or replaying. 23 Preparing the Camera, Basic Functions CF Card Handling Precautions • CF cards are high-precision electronic devices.
