Resetting the File Number
The images you shoot are automatically assigned file numbers. You can select how the file number is assigned.
Continuous
A number one higher than the last one recorded is assigned to the next image. This is convenient for managing all your images together on a computer because you avoid file name duplication when changing folders or memory cards.*
* When a blank memory card is used. If a memory card with recorded data is used, the 7-digit number for the last recorded folder and image is compared with the last one on the memory card, and the larger of the two is utilized as the basis for new images.
Auto Reset
The image and folder number are reset to the starting value
(100-0001).* This is convenient for managing images on a folder-by-folder basis.

z Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts that could damage the casing.
z Use only recommended battery and accessories.
Failure to follow these precautions may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.
z Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter
PY z Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging.
CO z Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery.
z The battery charger and compact power adapter are designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries.
There is a risk of overheating and distortion which could result in fire or electrical shock.
z Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects.
Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.
Others
z Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight.
In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.
z Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera.
Such items may lose data or stop working.
z When using the optional Tele Converter or Conversion Lens

z Be careful not to bump or strongly push the end of the lens.
The above-mentioned could lead to injury or damage the equipment.
z Be careful not to allow dust or sand into the camera when using it at a beach or place with strong winds.
Such conditions could lead to damage.

PY z subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car.
CO not use the equipment if the cable or plug is damaged, or if the plug is not fully inserted into the power outlet.
z Do not use in locations with poor ventilation.
The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.
z When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the battery from the camera or battery charger and store the equipment in a safe place.
If the battery is are left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.
z Do not connect compact power adapters or battery chargers to devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel because it may lead to malfunctions, excessive heat generation, fire, electric shock or injury.
253
Flash
z Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface of the flash.
z Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting.

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
z Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields.
Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems

PY condensation to naturally evaporate before using the camera again.
CO z Keep the battery terminals clean at all times.
Dirty terminals may cause poor contact between the battery and camera. Polish the terminals with a soft cotton swab before charging or using the battery.
z At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and the low battery icon (blinks red) may appear earlier than usual.
Under these conditions, restore the battery performance by warming it in a pocket immediately before use.
z Do not put the battery into a pocket together with metallic items such as a key ring.
The battery may be short circuiting.
255 z Do not allow any metal objects such as key rings to touch the
( ) and ( ) terminals (Fig. A). To carry the battery or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover
