Even if the battery pack is fully charged, the amount of time that you will be able to use the battery pack will be
reduced if you use the camera in a cold environment. In this case, you should prepare yourself with a reserve, pre-
charged battery pack. To increase the usage time, put the battery pack in your pocket, etc. to keep it warm, and only
insert it in the camera immediately before taking a shot.
When using the battery pack at normal temperatures, the battery can be used approximately 300 times. If the
number of shots that can be taken becomes extremely small, the battery has reached the end of its life. Place an
order for a new battery.
Use the dedicated battery pack and cradle (included) for charging, and charge the battery at room temperature
(10°C - 35°C). If you charge the battery pack outside of the room temperature range, the battery may take longer to
charge and might not fully charge. Although it is possible to top up the battery, if you continuously recharge a fully
charged battery pack, battery performance will be degraded.
When storing the battery pack, store it in a cool place. If you store the battery pack in an extremely hot or extremely
cold place, battery performance will be degraded.
If you are not using the camera for a period of time, remove the battery pack from the camera. If the battery pack is
left installed in the camera, even if the camera is turned off, a small current will flow and the battery will overly
discharge. This can result in the battery becoming unusable.
When you remove the battery pack from the camera, the date and time settings may be reset. If this happens, you
will need to reset these settings.
When storing the battery pack, store the battery pack when the battery level is fully used (LOW BATTERY).
Furthermore, if you intend to store the battery pack for a long period of time, recharge and then discharge the battery
approximately once a year. (To get to the LOW BATTERY level, use the camera slideshow to run down the battery.)
If the battery pack terminals become dirty, clean the terminals by rubbing them.
F
WARNING
Never place batteries in a microwave oven or other container exposed to high-
voltage, since battery liquid may leak, or the battery pack may generate heat, emit
smoke or flame, or rupture.
Do not use leaking batteries. Battery liquid may contact your skin, causing
personal injury. In the event battery liquid does contact skin, wash immediately with
clean water.
Do not use broken or ruptured batteries, since they may generate heat, emit
smoke or flame, or cause electrical shock.
F
CAUTION
Do not place batteries in water of any kind, or allow them to become wet, since the
batteries may generate heat, emit smoke or flame, or cause electrical shock.
Do not use or attempt to recharge wet batteries, since they may generate heat,
emit smoke or flame, or cause electrical shock.
Do not store batteries in locations accessible to small children, since injury could
result.
Do not throw batteries or subject them to strong impacts, since they may be
damaged and leak battery fluid.
Whenever possible, use batteries at room temperature (20°C ± 5°C). The battery
capacity and usable time between recharging may be reduced in situations of
extreme heat or cold, such as during mid-summer or deep winter weather, or when
batteries are left in a hot location (e.g., inside a closed car exposed to sun). Such
conditions may also shorten the usable service life of the battery.
When not using batteries, store them in a cool, dry location.

<Precautions for Using the AC Adapter>
Prolonged use may cause the AC adapter to feel warm; this is a normal phenomenon and not a malfunction.
When not using the AC adapter for an extended period of time, first remove the plug from the USB cradle,
then disconnect the adapter from the AC outlet.
If you wish to use the AC adapter while batteries are loaded in the camera, first set the camera’s power
switch to OFF, then connect the AC adapter before turning on the camera again.
F
WARNING
Be sure that AC adapter plugs are connected securely before use. Loose
plugs and poor contacts can cause generation of heat, fire, and electrical
shock.
Do not attempt to modify the AC adapter’s cords, or subject them to
unreasonable force. Damage to the cords can cause fires and electrical
shock. If cords become so damaged that their wire cores are exposed,
discontinue use and consult your dealer or Contax Service Center.
Do not attempt to remove covers, disassemble, repair or modify AC adapter,
since dangerous electrical shock could result.
AC adapter plugs that have become laden with dirt or household dust should
not be used or approached with metal objects, since electricity might be
transmitted through the metal, causing fire or personal electrical shock. In the
event of heavy soiling of a plug, remove it from its outlet and clean away the
dirt before reusing.
In the event that AC adapter plug emits smoke or unusual smell or sound, or if
it is damaged by impact or falling, cease use immediately. Continuing to use a
damaged plug could result in fire danger. In the event of damage to a plug,
consult your dealer or Contax Service Center.
Do not connect the AC adapter to any sources of power other than a
household AC outlet (AC 100V to 240V; 50/60Hz). Using the adapter with
other voltages or ratings may cause the hazard of fire or electrical shock.
F
CAUTION
Use only the dedicated AC adapter supplied with the digital camera. Using
other adapters may result in accidents and fire danger.
Never attempt to splice the AC adapter cord, or subject it to severe twisting,
bending, or stretching. This may cause breakage or other damage to the
wires, resulting in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Plugging the cord into a low
capacity power outlet, etc. may cause a fire.
Do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter with wet hands, since personal
electrical shock could result.
Always grasp the plug body (not cord) when removing the AC adapter plugs
from camera and power outlet. Pulling on the cords could cause breakage or
other damage to the wires, resulting in danger of fire or electrical shock.
The AC adapter has been designed for exclusive use with this camera. To
prevent the danger of fire and electrical shock, do not use the adapter with
products other than the specific digital camera for which it was designed.
If you notice any damage to the AC adapter, including broken wires or faulty
plug connections, stop using the AC adapter and consult your dealer or
Contax Service Center as soon as possible.

z Flat body makes it easy to put down
If you rotate the lens unit and LCD monitor back to their original
positions, the flat camera body offers superb stability.
This is really useful when you need the camera to be stable so you
can take pictures using the self-timer or the macro function while
you check the image by looking at the LCD monitor from above.
z D3 video output terminal lets you enjoy viewing
high-resolution pictures on a television
The USB cradle is fitted with a D3 video output terminal that
supports 1080 scan lines.
By connecting the camera to a television with a D3 or higher video
input connector, you can view images that were taken at relatively
high resolutions.
* D1 and D2 video input connectors are not supported.

Taking Still Images
«Applicable mode: C»
You can use this camera in various ways. You can take still images, shoot a
sequence of consecutive shots (continuous shooting), and shoot movies.
This chapter begins by explaining how to shoot photos (still images).
1 Press the POWER button H to turn the
camera on, then press the mode buttons
UD until "C" lights up on the mode
select LED.
The startup screen appears and then the date is displayed for
approximately 3 seconds.
Check that the date is correct.
2 While keeping the LCD monitor facing
you, gently twist the left side of the
camera (the lens unit).
Rotate the lens unit to point at the subject to be photographed while
choosing an angle where the LCD monitor is easy to view.
3 Compose the shot by looking at the LCD
monitor.
BNote
Move the selector lever to the right r to zoom in
on the image, and to the left l to zoom back out.
(Æ p.60
)
Avoiding camera shake
Camera shake refers to the effect of images appearing blurred or out of focus because the camera moved
when the picture was taken. This is particularly likely to occur at slow shutter speeds and in macro shots.
This applies particularly to macro shots with high magnifications, where the subject's depth of field
is
extremely shallow, and even the slight camera movement when the shutter release button is pressed can
have a large impact on the image.
In situations of this sort, place the camera on a stable surface to take the shot. Even greater stability can be
achieved by using the self-timer (Æ p.58
) so that the camera does not move when the shutter release
button is pressed.

4 Press the shutter release button down
half way to set the focus.
The camera gives a short double-beep, the green shooting mark "Z"
lights on the LCD monitor and the focus frame turns green to indicate
that the focus has been set.
Holding the camera
With the LCD monitor facing towards you, hold the lens unit with your left hand and the section with the
LCD monitor in your right hand. Take care that your fingers do not obstruct the lens or flash. The camera is
easier to hold if the lens unit and LCD monitor unit are at an angle of between 30° and 45° to each other.
BNote
A flashing shooting mark "Z" indicates that the
focus is not set. Press the shutter release button
half way again until the shooting mark "Z" stays
lit and the focus is set.
When the focus frame (Æ p.73
) is set to [MULTI
AF], the selected focus frame turns green.
There is no focus frame displayed when the
focus is fixed at infinity (Twilight mode, Night
View mode, and Landscape mode).
Relax your shoulders.

The camera emits the shutter sound and takes a picture.
Pressing the shutter release button half way
When you press the shutter release button, it stops at a
point on the way down to the fully pressed position. At this
point, it is said to be pressed half way and the camera
determines the focus in readiness for taking a picture. If you
then continue pressing the shutter release button all the way
down, the camera takes the picture.
BNote
You can adjust the volume of the shutter sound.
(Æ p.170

A Important
Press the shutter release button lightly with the soft pad of your fingertip. Pressing the
button too hard will result in camera shake. ( "
Avoiding camera shake" Æ p.40)
When the shutter speed is low, the warning LED flashes relatively fast and the camera
shake warning icon [H] is displayed on the screen. This indicates that there is a risk of
camera shake occurring. You should place the camera on a stable surface and use the
self-timer (Æ p.58
) or, depending on the subject, use the flash.
( "
Avoiding camera shake" Æ p.40, "Using the Flash" Æ p.63)
After taking a shot, the warning LED flashes relatively slowly and the red and white flash
icon [b] blinks alternately on the screen while the flash is recharging. Wait for the
warning LED to go out and the flash icon to stop blinking before taking the next shot.
( "
Using the Flash" Æ p.63)
When the card access LED is blinking, data is being read from or written to the card. Do
not open the card/battery cover or remove the memory card while the LED is flashing as
this could cause data corruption or, in some cases, camera damage. Note that you can
still take pictures while the card access LED is flashing.

Using Continuous Shooting Mode
«Applicable mode: C»
This camera is capable of taking a series of consecutive shots at up to
approximately 3.3 frames per second.* This feature is useful for
photographing moving subjects and for situations where you do not want
to miss a snapshot opportunity. Select AF continuous to refocus the
camera for each frame while shooting continuously.
* When using a high speed memory card (an SD Memory Card with a writing speed of 10MB/S or more).
1 Turn the camera on and press the mode
buttons UD until "C" lights up on the
mode select LED.
2 Press the continuous shooting button N
to select continuous shooting mode.
The shooting mode changes as shown below each time the continuous
shooting button N is pressed.
(No icon) (Single-Shot) : Standard shooting mode. (Default)
[F] (Continuous Shooting) : A series of photos can be shot continuously. (Approximately 3.3 frames
per second)

3 Compose the shot.
4 Press the shutter release button down
half way to set the focus.
5 Press the shutter release button down
fully.
The camera shoots pictures continuously for as long as you hold the
button down.
A Important
This setting is retained when you turn the camera off.
To ensure that you obtain true 3.3 frame per second (approx. 2 frames per second for
AF continuous shooting) performance, you should format (Æ p.163
) the SD memory
card in the camera beforehand. If you repeatedly shoot and erase frames, the
continuous shooting speed may drop. If this occurs, save the images to your PC and
then format the memory card using the camera before continuing.
The number of continuous shots that can be taken varies depending on the type and
capacity of the memory card in the camera and on the subject. Continuous shooting
stops when the memory card is full of recorded images.
The speed at which data is written to a memory card varies according to the type of card
used.
If you use an SD memory card that is intended for high-speed recording, you can use
continuous shooting to shoot at approximately 3.3 frames per second (approx. 2 frames
per second for AF continuous shooting) until the memory card is full. (The speed varies
depending on the subject.)
If slower shutter speeds are used because the subject is dark, the continuous shooting
speed may be slower than 3.3 frames per second (or approx. 2 frames per second for
AF continuous shooting).
If you use the flash, the camera cannot shoot continuously.
When you erase a single image from the middle of a group of continuous images, the
group splits into 2 groups of continuous images.

Using the Flash
«Applicable mode: C»
This camera has an Automatic Flash mode in which the camera determines
whether or not to fire the flash based on the ambient light level. However,
there is also a range of other flash modes that you can use to achieve
particular effects in your shots.
Flash Modes
[a] Auto Flash mode
The camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether to fire the flash.
[h] Red-eye Reduction Auto mode
In this mode, the flash reduces the red-eye effect by firing twice: once just before and again when the picture is
taken. As in Auto Flash mode, the camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether to fire the
flash.
[g] Flash Off mode
In this mode, the flash never fires, regardless of the ambient light levels. This mode is best for shots of sunsets
or shots where you want to retain an indoor ambiance.
[b] Fill-in Flash mode
In this mode, the flash fires regardless of the ambient light conditions. When you take a picture in strong
sunlight or when the subject is backlit, this mode allows you to take a picture that clearly shows both the subject
and the background.
A Important
When using the flash for close-up shots, you should set the ISO sensitivity to 200 or less.
If you set the sensitivity to a high ISO setting and then take close-up shots, the image will
be overexposed.
A Important
The shot is taken the second time the flash fires, not the first time. Take care to ensure that
neither the camera nor the subject move after the flash fires the first time.
A Important
Because the shutter speed used may be slow, depending on the light level, you should
place the camera on a stable surface and use the self-timer (Æ p.58
) to prevent camera
shake when the shot is taken.
If the photographed image is too dark, use the exposure compensation (Æ p.67
) or ISO
sensitivity (Æ p.69
) settings to adjust the brightness.

[METERING] Selecting the Area Used for Setting the
Exposure
«Applicable mode: C»
In this mode, you can select the area that the camera uses to set the
exposure
. The available settings are [EVALUATION], [CENTER] and [SPOT
AREA]. Use the setting that best suits your subject.
[EVALUATION] : The screen is partitioned into zones and the optimum exposure is determined based on
measurements of the light in each zone. Because this mode allows ordinary shots or even
backlit shots to be taken with little or no exposure compensation, it is recommended for
novices or for users who want to take pictures without having to worry about the exposure
settings.
[CENTER] : The exposure is determined by giving particular weight to measurements of the light from the

Guide to Selecting the Number of Pixels
For high-quality printing or to give priority to image quality, choose a large number of pixels (image size). For
files you want to send as e-mail attachments, choose a small image size to keep the file size small.
The number of shots that can be taken is smaller if the number of pixels is large, and larger if the number of
pixels is small.
It is also possible to further reduce the number of pixels in an image after shooting. (Æ p.114

Tips for Erasing Images Using [PROTECT] and [ERASE ALL]
For example, if you have 100 recorded images and you only want to keep 5 or 6 of them, using [ERASE] or
[SELECT AND ERASE] to erase individual images can be very time-consuming.
In a situation like this, where you have a large number of recorded images and you only want to keep a few
of them, you can accomplish it in just a few steps using [PROTECT] and [ERASE ALL].
1 First protect the images you want to keep. ( "[U] Protecting Images from
Accidental Erasing (PROTECT)" Æ p.107)
2 Then erase all the images. ( "Erasing all the images (ERASE ALL)" Æ p.106)
All the unprotected images are erased, leaving just the protected images behind.

Basic Digital Camera Glossary
AE (Auto Exposure)
Automatic exposure is the function by which the camera automatically adjusts the exposure (the shutter speed
and aperture settings) to suit the brightness of the subject.
AF (Auto Focus)
The function by which the camera automatically focuses images.
Aperture
This is a mechanism inside the camera lens that controls the amount of light passing through the lens by
changing the size of an opening.
Aperture setting
A number that indicates the size of the aperture opening. Settings are displayed as numbers such as F2.8, and
the higher the aperture setting, the smaller the opening and the less light that passes through the lens.
CCD (Charge Coupled Device)
This is a device that converts the light that enters the camera through the lens into digital information. Strictly
speaking, a CCD is a tiny component and many hundreds of thousand of CCDs are used to make up the
imaging element in a digital camera. The number of CCDs is referred to as the number of pixels. The larger the
number of pixels, the greater the amount of information generated by converting light and the higher the
resolution of the image.
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
This is a standard that stipulates items such as the file formats for digital cameras and related devices. In
principle, digital cameras that conform to the DCF standard can freely exchange images, even when the
images were shot with a different brand of camera. This camera complies with the DCF standard.
DCF is a collective mark of the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA).
Depth of field
When a subject is in focus, the depth of field refers to the area in front of and behind the subject that is also in
focus. The depth of field increases when the aperture setting is high. Such shots are said to have a large depth
of field. Conversely, lower aperture settings give a narrow range in which objects are in focus. This is referred to
as a small depth of field. The depth of field becomes smaller when the subject is closer to the camera.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
DPOF is a standard used for printing images photographed using a digital camera on a home printer or at a
commercial print processing store. Provided a DPOF-compatible printer or a commercial print processing store
that provides a DPOF print service is used, prints specified on this (DPOF-compatible) camera will be produced
in the quantities and formats specified in the DPOF settings.
The DPOF trademark indicates that the product conforms to the specifications of the "Digital Print Order
Format (DPOF) for digital camera print information". Copyright for DPOF Version 1.00 is held jointly by
Canon Inc., Eastman Kodak Co., Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.
EV (Exposure Value)
An EV is a number that denotes exposure. EV=1 when the aperture setting is F1 and the shutter speed is 1
second. Each time the exposure then halves, the EV number increases by 1 (EV=2, EV=3...). Conversely, when
the exposure is double the EV=1 level, the EV becomes -1. When the exposure is doubled again, EV=-2, and
so on.
Exposure
This refers to the amount of light projected through the lens that strikes the camera's film or image sensor (CCD
in this camera). The exposure is controlled by the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting. The
image brightness is determined by the exposure.
Flash
This is a device that produces a bright flash of light when the camera shutter opens. Flash units are used in low-
light situations such as indoor shots or pictures taken at night. Flash units tend to deplete the camera batteries
if used frequently.
Focal length
This refers to the distance from the lens to a point that is in focus. At shorter focal lengths, the shot covers a
wider area, while longer focal lengths make distant objects look larger.
Focus
This term refers to the focal point of a lens, but is more broadly used to refer to the condition whereby the
subject of a photograph is seen most clearly. When the focusing is correct and the subject is clearly visible, the
shot is said to be "in focus". When this is not the case, the shot is "out of focus".
Formatting (initialization)
This is a process that organizes the internal structure of a memory card so that files can be recorded on the
card. Formatting a memory card erases all the existing data stored on that card.

Infinity
Once the subject of a photograph is further than a set distance away from the camera lens, moving still further
away requires no adjustment to the focus. The distance at which the subject is so far away that no change in
the focus occurs is referred to as "infinity".
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) sensitivity
This is a number that indicates the sensitivity of film to light, with higher values indicating greater sensitivity.
Film with higher ISO sensitivity is more sensitive to light and can be used to take pictures in low-light conditions,
but is also more susceptible to unwanted specks on the image (noise).
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This refers to an image data compression format. The compression ratio is variable, with higher compression
ratios giving smaller image file sizes but poorer image quality.
Memory Card
A recording medium on which data can be written, erased and rewritten. SD memory cards and Multimedia
cards can be used with this camera.
PictBridge
This is a printing standard that allows images to be printed directly from a digital camera or video camera via a
USB cable, regardless of the manufacturer or model.
Red-eye effect
When a flash is used to take a picture of a person, the light of the flash reflecting from the back (retina) of the
subject's eyes has the effect of making them appear to glow red. This camera is equipped with a red-eye
reduction function to prevent this effect.
Shooting mark
The "Z" mark displayed on the LCD monitor when the camera is ready to take a picture.
Shutter speed
This refers to the length of time that the camera's shutter (a curtain behind the lens) opens when a picture is
taken.

TFT (Thin Film Transistor) color LCD monitor
The type of LCD monitor used in this camera. TFT panels provide good resolution and excellent
responsiveness.
White Balance
The light emitted by fluorescent tubes or incandescent light bulbs differs slightly in color. Without any
adjustment, the colors in shots taken under such light sources differ from the actual colors you see. For this
reason, a white subject is used as a reference to adjust the colors before shooting so that the resulting photo
shows the actual colors of the subject.
Zoom lens
This is a lens in which the photography scale can be changed gradually. In a zoom lens, the photography scale
is varied by gradually changing the focal length.
Zooming
This refers to the gradual changing of the photography scale. Gradual enlargement of the subject is called
"zooming in", while gradual reduction of the subject is called "zooming out".
