Choosing a focus range finder frame — AF range finder Mode dial: P/S/A/M/SCN/ Multipoint AF The camera calculates the distance in three places to the left and right and in the center of the image, letting you shoot using the auto focus function without worrying about the image composition. This is useful when it is difficult to focus on the subject because it is not in the center of the frame. You can check the position where the focus was adjusted using the green frame.
Choosing a focus operation — AF Mode Mode dial: SET UP You can select from the following three focus modes for your camera. Continuous AF a Set the mode dial to SET UP.

Precautions On handling the camera Do not carry the camera by the disc cover On pickup lens Do not touch the pickup lens inside the disc cover. Also, do not open the disc cover except when inserting or removing a disc in order to keep dust out. Do not leave the camera in the following places Do not touch the rotating disc This may cause injury. On cleaning the pickup lens Cleaning the lens Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.
On moisture condensation If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera. Moisture condensation occurs easily when: • The camera is brought from a cold location such as a ski slope into a warmly heated room. • The camera is taken from an airconditioned room or car interior to the hot outdoors, etc.
• Do not use any solvent (benzine, thinner, static protection product, record cleaner, etc.) to clean a disc. Notes On “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack What is the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack? The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a lithium-ion battery pack that has functions for communicating information related to operating conditions between your camera and the AC Adaptor.
Effective use of the battery pack How to store the battery pack • Battery performance decreases in lowtemperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery pack can be used is shorter in cold places. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use: – Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in your camera immediately before you start shooting. • Frequently operating the zoom or flash wears out the battery charge faster.
