Powering the Camera
This section explains how to load the batteries (AA alkaline batteries) into the camera
and how to connect the AC adapter to power the camera from a household electrical
outlet.
Loading the AA Batteries
Mount AA batteries and operate the camera.
If you use commercial batteries, use of rechargeable AA batteries (nickel-
cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride batteries) is recommended.
Rechargeable Batteries
Before using commercially available rechargeable AA Ni-Cd or AA Ni-MH batteries,
read the safety precautions in the accompanying manual.
Use only the specified AA batteries.
Never use batteries of an unrecommended type, such as manganese battery,
as this could damage the camera or LCD monitor and cause them to fail.
Certain types of batteries may become hot after an extended period of use.
Allow them to cool before unloading them.
Do not use commercially available batteries that are designed for specific
kinds of equipment (such as those marked For CD players only ) in this“ ”
product.
When purchasing batteries, read the battery instructions carefully to make
sure that they can be used for this product.
Remove the batteries form the camera before leaving it out service for long.
Important
Note
Note
28
q Check that the camera is turned off, and
then open the battery cover by pressing
the catch and sliding it in the direction
shown.
“ ”Turning on the Camera (p.41)
w Load the batteries.
Make sure that the batteries are loaded
with the positive (+) and negative ()
terminals correctly oriented. Do not bring
metallic objects, such as a needle, into
contact with the battery contact surfaces
or electrical connections. Electrostatic
damage could result.
e Close the battery cover
Close the battery cover until it clicks into position.
Economizing on Batteries
Use of rechargeable Size AA Ni-Cd or AA Ni-MH batteries is recommended for most
applications.
If a power source is available nearby, you can economize on the batteries by using an
AC adapter (optional).
In shooting pictures, having the LCD monitor display turned off will help your batteries
longer-lived.
Shooting and Playback Guidelines
The table below gives the approximate recording and playback times that are available
with Size AA alkaline batteries, as measured under the following test conditions:
[Test conditions]
During shooting: Shoot continuously in a recording mode (shoot at an interval of
30 seconds, without turning off the camera in the middle, with the
flash fired 50%, at a 25 ambient temperature).™⁄
During playback: Leave the camera continuously turned on in a playback mode at
a 25 room temperature.™⁄

Battery type Approximate Approximate
Recording Time Playback Time
Size AA alkaline batteries 60 minutes 90 minutes
Ni-Cd batteries (1000 mAh) 40 minutes 60 minutes
Note
Tips to Extend the Recording and Playback Times
* The battery lives indicated above tend to narrow depending on the ambient
environment.
* In an extremely cold environment, warming the batteries by hand, for example, could
allow you to take more pictures. Where the ambient temperature is extremely low,
use of rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries is recommend for their cold resistance.
* Choose rechargeable batteries having as high a capacitance as possible. (The
capacitance rating is marked in the unit mAh.)
* Increased use of the flash or zoom feature or the LCD monitor would speed up the
exhaustion of the batteries. Cut their usage to a minimum required.
* The available picture count tends to increase when they are recorded in the 900 ×
600 recording mode.
* Copying or erasing images repeatedly would also accelerate the exhaustion of the
batteries.
You are advised to make spare batteries available when powering the camera
from the internal batteries alone.
The battery symbol ( ), when lit, indicates that the camera's internal batteries
have a diminishing voltage. Make spare batteries available.
Rechargeable Size AA Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries have a characteristic
tendency to turn off their power immediately when the battery symbol is lit.
Handling Precautions
Do not use damaged batteries or batteries at the end of their service lives.
Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts .
Using an AC Adapter
When using the camera for extended periods of time to shoot or playback images,
connect an AC adapter (optional) to the camera and power the camera from a
household electrical source.
Using the AC Adapter
Before using the AC adapter, be sure to read the safety precautions in the
accompanying manual.
30
q Check that the camera is turned off, and then open the terminal cover.
Turning on the Camera (p.41)
w Connect the AC adapter cable to the power supply terminal (DC input)
on the camera.
e Insert the power plug into the electrical outlet.
If batteries are loaded in the camera while it is connected to a household
power source, the camera is powered from the AC source and not by the
batteries.
Insert the power plug and connection cable securely. If the plug or cable
works loose during recording, the data may be lost or damaged.
If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter while operating the camera
(recording, playback, or erasing), the camera will switch off to determine
the power source. This may cause the data to be lost or damaged. To
avoid this, connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is
turned off.

Setting the Exposure Compensation
As long as the subject is centered in the shooting range, you can take the picture
normally as the camera will automatically adjust the exposure compensation for
backlighting. If there is a significant difference in brightness between the background
and subject, however, the subject tends to be under- or over-exposed. Exposure
compensation is useful in this situation. You can also use exposure compensation to
produce intentionally under- or over-exposed images.
Exposure Compensation Range
±2.0 EV (in 0.5 EV steps)
Shooting Against the Light
The bright background will make the subject appear under-exposed. Set the exposure
compensation level to a positive value to adjust the exposure.
Important
Note
If the subject is not centered in the shooting range when taking a picture
against the light, the camera will not assume that the subject is in a backlit
state. Exposure compensation is required in this situation.
Shooting a White Image
If you shoot an image that appears generally white, the shot will be under-exposed as
a whole, with people appearing dark and white objects appearing gray. Set the
exposure compensation level to a positive (+) value to adjust the exposure.
Shooting a Black Image
If you shoot an image that appears generally black, the shot will be over-exposed as a
whole, with people appearing white and black objects appearing gray. Set the
exposure compensation level to a negative ( ) value to adjust the exposure. Follow
the same procedure when shooting a person under a spotlight, for example.

Changing the White Balance Mode
The white balance mode adjusts the white balance so that you can capture your
subject in its natural colors regardless of the light source. The auto mode will suffice in
most situations.
The auto mode automatically adjusts the white balance based on the white areas,
ensuring that white is reproduced as white regardless of the light source.
Consequently, a subject that lacks in white tones as a whole or that is dominated by
dark tones may not achieve an appropriate white balance. Change the white balance
mode to shoot such subjects.
Switching White Balance Modes
The mode screen will change in the following sequence as you switch the white
balance mode:
* The factory default setting is auto mode.
Note
In auto mode, subjects lacking in white tones may not achieve an appropriate
white balance. When shooting such subjects, add a white object to the
composition.
White balance modes can only be set in recording mode and not in playback
mode.
The flash will not fire in the following white balance modes: daylight,
fluorescent light, tungsten light and cloudy (overcast) mode.
Enable the keep settings mode to save the white balance mode setting.
