In this case, remove the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet, remove the battery and check
if both room and battery temperature is too low or high and then charge it again. (It is not
possible to cancel the error by only turning the power off/on.) If the problem persists,
consult the dealer or your nearest servicentre.

Taking Pictures with the Night Portrait
Mode
The Night Portrait mode combines the
electronic flash with a “slow shutter” mode.
This unique feature allows you to photograph
close subjects against the natural night
background. Since the shutter speed is slow,
we highly recommend using a tripod to steady
the camera. The subject should be positioned
within the recommended distance for the
camera’s flash can illuminate.
[Preparation]
• Set the operational mode dial. (P25)

Set the REC mode dial to Night portrait
mode [ ].

Take a picture.
The recording method is the same as in “Taking

• If you do not open the flash using this mode, you
can take the night illumination scenery itself with
slower shutter speed. Use the tripod when using
this mode.

Cautions for Use
ª Cautions for Use
Keep the digital camera away from
magnetized equipment (such as a
microwave oven, TV, video game
equipment, etc.).
• If you use the digital camera on or near a
TV, images and sounds may be disturbed
due to electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Do not use the digital camera near a cell
phone because doing so may cause noise
to adversely affect the images and sounds.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
images may be distorted by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated
by a microprocessor may adversely affect
the digital camera, causing the disturbance
of images and sounds.
• If the digital camera is affected by
magnetically charged equipment and does
not function properly, turn the camera off
and detach the battery or AC adaptor and
then connect the battery or AC adaptor
again. Thereafter, turn the camera on.
Do not use the digital camera near
radio transmitters or high-voltage
lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines, recorded images or
sounds may be adversely affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile
chemicals onto the digital camera.
• If the digital camera is sprayed with such
chemicals, the camera body may be
deformed and the surface finish may peel
off.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic products in
contact with the digital camera for a long
period of time.
When you use the digital camera on a
beach or similar place, do not let sand
or fine dust get into the camera.
• Sand or dust may damage the digital
camera or card. (Care should be taken
when inserting and removing the card)
When you use your digital camera on
a rainy or snowy day or on a beach,
make sure that no water enters the
digital camera.
• Water may cause the digital camera or
card to malfunction. (Irreparable damage
may occur)
• If sea water splashes onto the digital
camera, wet a soft cloth with tap water,
wring it well, and use it to wipe the camera
body carefully. Then, wipe it again
thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use the digital camera for
surveillance purpose or other business
use.
• If you use the digital camera for a long
period of time, the internal temperature
increases and, consequently, this may
cause malfunction.
• The digital camera is not intended for
business use.
Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol
for cleaning the digital camera.
• The camera body may be deformed and
the surface finish may peel off.
• Before cleaning the camera, detach the
battery or pull out the AC adaptor from the
electrical outlet.
• Wipe the digital camera with a soft, dry
cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe
with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent
diluted with water and afterward finish
wiping with a dry cloth.
• For storing or transporting the digital
camera, place it in a bag or case lined with
soft pads to prevent the coating on the
camera body from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the card out,
and detach the battery or pull out the
AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.
• If the battery is left on the digital camera
for a long time, the voltage drops
excessively, and the battery will not
function even after it is recharged.

ª
ªª
ª Optimal Use of the Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power is
based upon the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery becomes
shorter.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
Be sure to detach the battery from the
digital camera. (If it is left attached to
the digital camera, a minute amount of
current is consumed even when the
digital camera power is off) If the battery
is left attached to the digital camera for
a long time, discharge takes place. The
battery may become unusable after it is
charged.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire because it
may cause an explosion.
Always keep the terminals of the
battery clean.
Prevent the terminals from getting
clogged with dirt, dust, or other
substances.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the battery body and
terminals are deformed. Attaching a
deformed battery to the digital camera
may damage the camera.
ª Condensation
When condensation has taken place:
Set the power switch to [OFF] and
leave the digital camera in this
condition for about 1 hour. When the
camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature, the fog disappears
naturally.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the digital camera, take
the card out and detach the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:
15 to 25 oC, Recommended humidity:40
to 60 %)
Digital camera
• Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust
from getting into the camera.
• Do not leave the camera in places that
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
• Extremely high or low temperatures will
shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty
places, the terminal may rust and cause
malfunctions.
• Do not allow the battery terminals to come
in contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result
in a short circuit or heat generation and, if
you touch the battery in this condition, you
may be badly burned.
• Store the battery in a completely
discharged state. To store the battery for a
long period of time, we recommend you
charge it once every year and store it
again after you completely use up the
charged capacity.

Card
• When the card is being read, do not
remove the card, turn off the power, or
subject it to vibration or impact.
• Do not leave the card in places where
there is high temperature or direct sunlight,
or where electromagnetic waves or static
electricity are easily generated.
• Do not bend or drop the card. The card or
the recorded content may be damaged.
• After use, be sure to remove the card from
the digital camera.
• Do not touch the terminals on the back of
the card with your fingers. Do not allow
dirt, dust or water to enter it.
ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Ring
LCD monitor
• In a place with drastic temperature
changes, condensation may form on the
LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
• If the digital camera is extremely cold
when you turn the power on, the image on
the LCD monitor is slightly darker than
usual at first. However, as the internal
temperature increases, it goes back to the
normal brightness.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD monitor
screen featuring a total of approximately
110,000 pixels. The result is more than
99.99% effective pixels with a mere
0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and
does not affect the recorded picture.
Viewfinder
• Do not direct the viewfinder or lens to the
sun. Internal components may be seriously
damaged.
Lens ring
• Do not attach other conversion lenses on
the lens ring; there is no mount to be used
for the attachment.
• When you want to attach the tele
conversion lens (DMW-LT52; optional) or
wide conversion lens (DMW-LW52;
optional), first of all, turn the lens ring
counterclockwise. If the MC protector
(DMW-LMC52; optional) is used, the lens
ring can be mounted on the filter.
• If you push the zoom lever toward W
during recording with the filter or
conversion lens attached to the digital
camera, 4 corners of the image may
become dark (vignetting). For details, refer
to the operating instructions of your
accessories.
• Be sure to keep the lens ring attached to
the digital camera so as to shut out
unnecessary light.
