Important Points to Remember
If the camera is left with the power on and not used for a specified amount of time (1 minute
unless you have changed this setting), it will enter the sleep mode and automatically switch
off the control panel and other displays to conserve battery power. To restore the camera to
normal operation, half-press the shutter button, or turn the zoom ring one position left or
right and then back to its original position.
If the camera remains idle in the sleep mode for 1 hour, it will switch itself off automatically.
To restsore full operation, you must move the power switch to the OFF position and then
back to the ON position.
To conserve battery power, we recommend that you purchase the AC adapter designed for
this camera and use it for long shooting sessions indoors. The camera never enters the
sleep mode while the AC adapter is connected to the camera and a power outlet. You can
power the camera with the AC adapter without removing the batteries.
The amount of data required to store a picture depends on the subject, so you may be able
to store more or fewer images on a card. Because of this difference in size, you may not be
able to store another picture, even after you delete one image from the card with single-
frame delete.
Storage capacity of a 8MB and 32MB memory card
The numbers of images per 8MB and 32MB memory are only approximate estimations.
Quality Resolution (pixels) Compression File Size
Images per Card (Reference value)

SQ 1280 x 960 (SXGA) 1:8 300 KB 27 shots 110 shots
Because of the difference in cluster size used on SmartMedia and CompactFlash cards, the same
number of images may require more or less space for storage on either card. When using a
CompactFlash card, the actual capacity of the card could be slightly less than the capacity
indicated in the control panel.
What’s on the menu?
This is a brief summary of the menus and how to use them. The menus are used to select special
settings for taking pictures. Use this summary as a quick reference. Detailed explanations about
these settings are provided in the Instructions.
Restoring the Default Settings
The default settings are the settings in effect when you purchased the camera. Some menu
settings are not released after the camera is switched off and switched on again so you may need
to do this occasionally to restore the camera to its original operating status, especially when you
are experimenting with the camera to learn how to use it.
The current settings are displayed in the control panel.
Some settings are also displayed in the viewfinder when you take a picture.
