How to Use the Histogram A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indicates lightness. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph is as close to the center as possible.

. Storage Precautions • Always remove the batteries from the camera when you are not using it. Leaving batteries in the camera can cause it to discharge and go dead, which will lead to malfunction of the camera. • Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for about two weeks or more. • Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower). .
. Alkaline Battery Life The actual life of alkaline batteries is affected by a variety of factors, including the battery manufacturer, the amount of time the batteries spend in storage before you use them, temperature while you are recording, and photographic conditions. As a rule, we recommend the use of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, which have longer lives than alkaline batteries. • When using alkaline batteries, use of the camera in cold temperatures can shorten the life of the batteries.
. Using Rechargeable Batteries In the case of rechargeable batteries, use of one of the rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries (HR6) listed below is recommended. • SANYO eneloop (SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.) • DURACELL RECHARGEABLE (DURACELL, div of P&G Inc.) • ENERGIZER RECHARGEABLE (Energizer Holdings, Inc.) IMPORTANT! • Never mix four batteries of different brands, ages, or charge levels. Doing so creates the risk of shortened battery life and can even damage the camera.
Using Household Power You need to purchase the optionally available AC adaptor (AD-C100) in order to be able to power the camera using a household power supply. 1. Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor. 2. Open the camera’s terminal cover and connect the AC adaptor to the terminal marked [ ]. 3. Plug the power cord into a power outlet. [ ] Power cord Terminal cover AC adaptor Power plug .
. Precautions when Using the AC Adaptor • Connecting the AC adaptor to the camera does not charge the batteries. • Make sure that the camera is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor. • If you are connecting the AC adaptor to the camera while it has batteries loaded, never connect or disconnect the AC adaptor while the camera is turned on. • The AC adaptor will become warm after long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
. Using a Memory Card • SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a Write enabled write protect switch. Use the switch when you need to guard against accidentally deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card you Write disabled must then turn write protection off whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images. • If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 135).
