(IC) Declaration of Conformity This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device. FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

KLJI are displayed to indicate the direction of camera movement. S h o o t i n g F e a t u r e s 30 Guide 4 Move the camera in one of the four directions until the guide indicator reaches the end. When the camera detects which direction it is moving in, shooting begins. Shooting ends when the camera captures the specified shooting range. Focus and exposure are locked until shooting ends. Example of camera movement Using your body as the axis of rotation, move the camera slowly in an arc, in the direction of the marking (KLJI). Shooting stops if the guide does not reach the edge within about 15 seconds (when W Normal is selected) or within about 30 seconds (when X Wide is selected) after shooting starts. B Notes About Easy Panorama Shooting The range of the image seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting. If the camera is moved too quickly or shaken too much, or if the subject is too uniform (e.g. walls or darkness), an error may occur. If shooting is stopped before the camera reaches the half-way point in the panorama range, a panorama image is not saved. If more than half of the panorama range is captured but shooting ends before reaching the edge of the range, the range not captured is recorded and displayed in gray.

If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around the other faces. If the shutter button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:
In o (scene auto selector) mode, the focus area changes depending on the scene. In Portrait and Night portrait scene modes or in smart portrait mode, the camera focuses in the center of the frame. In A (auto) mode, the camera selects the focus area containing the subject closest to the camera. S h o o t i n g F e a t u r e s B Notes About Face Detection The cameras ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in which the faces are looking. The camera cannot detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame 50 Using Skin Softening When the shutter is released while using one of the shooting modes listed below, the camera detects human faces and processes the image to soften facial skin tones (up to three faces). Smart portrait mode (A35)
- You can adjust the amount of Skin softening effect in the glamour retouch. o (scene auto selector) mode (A23) Portrait or Night portrait in scene mode (A24) Editing functions such as Skin softening can be applied to saved images by using Glamour retouch (A65) even after shooting. B Notes About Skin Softening It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting. Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved, and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.

When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus are displayed in green. 1 / 2 5 0 F 3 Focus areas 1 / 2 5 0 F 3 Focus areas B Notes About Target Finding AF Depending on shooting conditions, the subject that the camera determines to be the main subject may vary. The main subject may not be detected when using certain White balance settings. The camera may not detect the main subject appropriately in the following situations:
- When the subject is very dark or bright
- When the main subject lacks clearly defined colors
- When the shot is framed so that the main subject is at the edge of the monitor
- When the main subject is composed of a repeating pattern S h o o t i n g F e a t u r e s 52 Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator is displayed in green:
Subject is very dark Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark) No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall) Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage) Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.) Subject is moving rapidly In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock

If Photo info in Monitor settings (A109) in the setup menu is set to Movie frame+auto info, you can confirm the area that will be captured in a movie before you start recording. Maximum Movie Recording Time Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording. The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the shooting screen. The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie content, subject movement, or type of memory card. Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording movies (A152). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used. B Notes About Camera Temperature The camera may become hot when shooting movies for an extended period of time or when the camera is used in a hot area. If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B10s) is displayed. After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled. i l R e c o r d n g a n d P a y n g B a c k M o v e s i i 69 Notes About Movie Recording 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 batteries 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. B Notes About Recorded Movies When using the cameras internal memory, saving movies may take some time. There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded. The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-
vapor lighting.
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car, may appear skewed.
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved. Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction. B Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording When Movie VR (A103) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording. When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Movie VR to Off to prevent potential errors caused by this function. B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording Autofocus may not perform as expected (A53). Should this occur, try the following:
1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) before starting movie recording. 2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and modify the composition. i l R e c o r d n g a n d P a y n g B a c k M o v e s i i 70 Capturing Still Images While Recording Movies If the shutter-release button is pressed all the way while recording a movie, one frame is saved as a still image. Movie recording continues while the still image is being saved. While y is displayed in the monitor, still images can be captured. While z is displayed, still images cannot be captured. The size of the captured image varies depending on the Movie options setting
(A98). 1 2 m 3 0 s B Notes About Capturing Still Images During Movie Recording Still images cannot be captured during a movie recording in the following situations:
- When the remaining movie recording time is less than five seconds
- When Movie options is set to Z 1080/60i, U 1080/50i, g 480/30p, W 480/25p, or HS movie The sound of pressing the shutter-release button may be recorded in the movie. If the camera moves when the shutter-release button is pressed, the image may be blurred. i l R e c o r d n g a n d P a y n g B a c k M o v e s i i 71 Operations During Movie Playback To adjust the volume, move the zoom control while a movie is playing (A1).

The Camera Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition, do not touch or apply force to the lens. Keep Dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity. Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature. Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Doing so could result in loss of data or camera malfunction. Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause the image sensor to deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs. Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source or Memory Card Do not remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. Notes About the Monitor Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision;
at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device. Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting. Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth. T e c h n i c a l N o t e s 133 Batteries Precautions for Use Note that the batteries may become hot after use. Do not use batteries beyond their recommended expiration date. Do not turn the camera on and off repeatedly if discharged batteries are inserted in the camera. Carrying Spare Batteries We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting. It may be difficult to purchase batteries in certain areas. Charging Batteries If using optional rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries before taking pictures. Batteries are not fully charged at the time of purchase. Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in the operating instructions included with the battery charger. Charging Rechargeable Batteries Do not mix batteries with different amounts of charge remaining, or batteries of a different make or model. When using EN-MH2 batteries with this camera, charge four batteries at a time using Battery Charger MH-73. Use only Battery Charger MH-73 to charge EN-MH2 batteries. When using Battery Charger MH-73, only charge EN-MH2 batteries. EN-MH1 rechargeable Ni-MH batteries cannot be used. Notes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries If you repeatedly charge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries while they still have some charge remaining, the message Battery exhausted. may be displayed prematurely when using the batteries. This is due to the memory effect, in which the amount of charge the batteries can hold decreases temporarily. Use the batteries until there is no charge remaining and they will return to their normal behavior. Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries discharge even when not being used. We recommend charging the batteries just before using them. Using the Batteries When Cold On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If exhausted batteries are used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, cold batteries may recover some of their charge. Battery Terminals Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use. Remaining Battery Charge If you insert discharged batteries into the camera, the camera may indicate that the batteries have adequate charge remaining. This is a characteristic of batteries. T e c h n i c a l N o t e s 134 Recycling Used Batteries Replace the batteries when they no longer hold a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Memory Cards Precautions for Use Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See Approved Memory Cards (A152) for recommended memory cards. Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with the memory card. Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards. Formatting Do not format the memory card using a computer. The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be sure to format it with this camera. We recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera before using them 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. If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when the camera is turned on, the memory card must be formatted. If there is data that you do not want to delete, select No. Copy the necessary data to a computer, etc. If you want to format the memory card, select Yes. The confirmation dialog will be displayed. To start formatting, press the k button. Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to or deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the camera or memory card:
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the batteries or memory card.
- Turn off the camera.
- Disconnect the AC adapter. T e c h n i c a l N o t e s 135 Cleaning and Storage Cleaning Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals. Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner. Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure. Body Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or dusty environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty. Storage Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period. To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again. Do not store the camera in any of the following locations:
