4. After charging, remove the battery pack from the charger and then the
power cord from the outlet and the charger.
Normal charging time is about 2.5 hours. Please charge your battery pack in an area
with a temperature between 0C (32F) and 40C (104F).
Charging time will vary with the surrounding temperature and the condition of the
battery pack.
Before using new battery packs or battery packs that have not been used for some
time, be absolutely sure to charge them.
When a battery pack reaches the end of its useful life, it can be used only for a short
time, even when fully charged. When that happens, replace with a new battery pack
(sold separately, model # DR-LB4).
During charging both the charger and the battery pack get hot; this is normal.
If dirt gets on the battery contact points, the battery pack will not be fully charged or
charging time will get longer. Please wipe them off with a soft, dry cloth.

Inserting/Removing Cards
- About 2 MB of memory are built into this camera as recording media for
image data, and other information, such as date and time, so even without a
card inserted, the camera can record in an emergency. If you wish to use an
aftermarket card, any of the following are appropriate: SD Memory Card, MultiMedia Card, Memory Stick. (All three will be called card hereafter.)
- First, turn OFF the main switch (lens cover closed), make sure the LCD monitor
is OFF and turn off all power. If power is ON, damage may occur to the card or
to the camera itself.
Under the factory default, the built-in memory has a demo picture of the
world map in it, leaving only about 1 MB of memory capacity. To erase this
image, follow the steps below.
1. Select FORMAT from the set-up menu and
choose IN MEMORY (page 87)
26
Inserting a Card
1
2. With the camera and the label of the card facing up, insert the card with
the knocked out part first into the slot and push in until a click is heard.
Take care that the card is inserted facing the right way. If the card is forcefully
inserted facing the wrong way, it will damage the connector.
There are two card slots. When a SD Memory card or MultiMedia Card are used,
insert them in the slot at the back of the camera, and if a Memory Stick is used,
insert it in the slot toward the front.
27
Warning! Insert or remove cards only after making sure that absolutely
all power is OFF as indicated by the viewfinder LED being
off.
While the card is being accessed, or an image is being processed,
the LCD monitor will show Now COPY, etc., and the red LED
will come on.
If you open the battery/card cover while the red LED is flashing,
image processing may be interrupted or hindered.
While the red LED is still lit, make sure that you DO NOT open the
battery/card cover.

If the shooting range is not in the above range, the picture may appear too bright
when it is too close, and the picture may appear dark without enough lighting when
it is too far. It is recommended you check the photo with the LCD monitor after
shooting.
Red-Eye Reduction
- Using this mode can reduce the red-eye phenomenon, which is people
with red glaring eyes caused by the flash.
- When you press the shutter button, the pre-flash comes on, followed by
the real flash which finishes the shot.
Until the real flash comes on, do not move the camera or let the subject move.
If the subject is not facing the pre-flash or final flash, or the distance to the subject
is too far, the red-eye reduction effect may not be apparent.
The flash is in the AUTO flash mode and will not come on in a bright place.
39
Slow-Sync
- Use this mode when shooting a subject with a background of a night or
evening view.
- Shooting with a flash is possible with a slow shutter speed.
Shutter speeds will be slower, so use a tripod to prevent shaking.
If the subject is moving, the picture will be blurred.

Center-weighted metering
In this mode the camera sets the exposure according to the metering for the
central part of the whole frame. It is ideal for taking photos where the brightness
of the subject in the center of the frame is desired.
Spot metering
In spot metering the camera measures the light of just the subject in the center of
the frame, and sets the exposure to it. This mode is ideal when the background of
the picture is brighter than the subject, or there is a great deal of contrast between
the two, as the camera allows you to take the photo with the exposure set to the
brightness of your desired subject.
