Introduction
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built-
in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes
be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially
resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s
responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data
using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images
containing no private information (for example, images of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any
images selected for the Select an image option in the Welcome screen setting (A73). Care
should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage
devices.

cause damage or fire.
Observe caution when handling
the battery
The battery may leak, overheat or explode if
improperly handled. Observe the following
precautions when handling the battery for
use in this product:
Before replacing the battery, turn the
product off. If you are using the Charging
AC Adapter/AC adapter, be sure it is
unplugged.

attempt to insert it upside down or
backwards.
Do not short or disassemble the battery
or attempt to remove or break the
battery insulation or casing.
Do not expose the battery to flame or to
excessive heat.
Do not immerse in or expose to water.
Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in
order to insulate it before transporting.
Do not transport or store with metal
objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
The battery is prone to leakage when
fully discharged. To avoid damage to the
product, be sure to remove the battery
when no charge remains.
Discontinue use immediately should you

C When Using a Tripod
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting
- When shooting with the flash mode (A46) set to W (off)
- When using the telephoto setting
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off in the setup
menu (A73) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens position
changes.
To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward g (telephoto).
To zoom out and view a larger area: Move toward f (wide-
angle).
When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the
maximum wide-angle position.
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is moved.
Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the
subject up to approximately 4× the maximum optical zoom
ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the zoom
control toward g when the camera is zoomed in to the
maximum optical zoom position.
C Notes About Digital Zoom
The zoom indicator turns blue when the digital zoom is activated, and it turns yellow when the
zoom magnification is increased further.
Zoom indicator is blue: Image quality is not noticeably reduced by using the Dynamic Fine Zoom.
Zoom indicator is yellow: Image quality is noticeably reduced.
The indicator remains blue across a wider area when the image size is smaller.
The zoom indicator may not turn blue when using certain continuous shooting settings.

There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.
The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, movie vibration
reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.
Smear (F3) visible in the monitor with movie recording will be recorded with movies. Avoiding
bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording movies is
recommended.
Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, subjects with repeating
patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) may have colored stripes (interference patterns, moire, etc.)
in them 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 in the movie menu (A70) 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 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.
B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording
Autofocus may not perform as expected (A61). 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.
