CAUTION
Does the battery pack appear swollen?
i The lithium-ion battery used in this camera may expand slightly when
stored in a hot environment or repeatedly used, but this is not a safety
hazard.
HINT
About the internal backup battery
i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time
settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the
camera settings for about 7 days.
When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack
i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it
is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the
camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the
battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may
be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the
camera settings are correct.
To prolong the life of the battery pack
i Although the battery pack is an expendable item, you can maximize the life
of the battery by heeding the following suggestions.
h Do not leave the battery under the hot summer sun or exposed to other
high-temperature environments.
h Do not continually recharge the battery when it is already fully charged.
After fully charging it once, for example, use it for a while to partially
discharge it before recharging it again.
h When the battery is not to be used for a long time, if possible store the
partially charged (not fully charged) battery in a cool environment.

kk When the battery or internal camera (excluding battery) temperature
rises during use
hDuring camera use, if the temperature of the battery or inside the
camera (excluding the battery) rises, a \ icon lights on the monitor. It
is still possible to record and play back even when the \ icon is lit;
however it is advised that you discontinue use as soon as possible and
turn the camera off.
hIf the temperature rises further, the \ icon will start to flash, and the
camera will turn off automatically.
The camera cannot be turned on until the temperature has dropped (or
as long as the \ icon remains flashing). Please wait until the
temperature has dropped before resuming use.
hDuring video recording, a countdown indicator will show the time
starting about 15 seconds before shutdown. When the indicator shows
0 seconds, recording stops.
hIf the camera is turned off while the temperature is high (that is, while
the \ icon is flashing), it cannot be turned on again until the
temperature has dropped (or as long as the \ icon remains flashing).

BEFORE TAKING PICTURES
Hints for taking pictures
Muting the operation sounds
iThe audio guidance that sounds when you operate the camera can be
muted (page 122).
Where are the image and audio files saved?
iAll the image and sound files are recorded on the card installed in the
camera, or in the camera’s internal memory.
Taking pictures in backlight conditions...
iWhen taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to
the characteristics of the lens, ghost patterns (flare phenomenon) may
appear in the captured image. In this situation, it is recommended that you
avoid taking pictures with the subject lit from behind.
While the image files are being recorded...
iWhile the multi-indicator is flashing red, the image files are being written to
the memory, during which time it is not possible to capture another image.
Another image can be captured after the flashing red indicator turns off.
However, even when the multi-indicator is flashing red, depending on the
camera’s internal memory remaining capacity, in some cases the next
image can be captured about 2 seconds after shooting.
