Charging the battery pack
When the camera is turned on, you cannot charge the battery pack. Be sure to turn off the power of the camera.
1
Insert the battery pack into your camera.
2
Open the DC IN cover and connect the DC connecting plug to the
DC IN jack of your camera with the v
mark facing up.
3
Connect the power cord (mains lead) to the AC power adaptor and then to a wall outlet (mains).
The ON/CHG lamp (orange) below the LCD screen lights up when charging begins. When the ON/CHG lamp goes off, normal charge is completed. For full charge , which allows you to use the battery longer than usual, leave the battery pack inserted for about one hour after normal charge is completed.
Battery remaining indicator
The LCD screen or finder on the camera shows the remaining time for which you can still record or play back images.
This indication may not be entirely accurate depending on the conditions of use and the operating environment.
Auto power-off function
If you do not operate the camera for about three minutes during recording, the camera turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the battery pack. To use the camera again, slide the POWER switch to the right to turn on the camera again.

Notes
• The battery life and number of images will be decreased when using at low temperature, using the flash, turning the power on/off frequently, or using the zoom.
• The capacity of the floppy disk is limited. The above figures are a guide when you continuously record/play back by replacing the floppy disk.
• If sufficient battery remaining time is indicated but the power runs out soon, fully charge the battery so that the correct battery remaining time appears.
• Do not short the DC plug of the AC power adaptor with a metallic object, as this may cause malfunction.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water.

Notes
• The recommended shooting distance is 0.6 to 2.5 m (23 5/8 inches to 8 1/3 feet).
• Attaching a conversion lens (not supplied) may block the light from the flash and the recorded image may be eclipsed.
• You cannot use the built-in flash and an external strobe at the same time.
• The indicator appears when the flash is not popped up under situations that you should use the flash.
• Auto red-eye reduction may not produce the desired red-eye reduction effects depending on individual differences, the distance to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe, or other conditions. In addition, red-eye reduction effects are also difficult to obtain if you select a slow shutter speed in shutter priority mode of the PROGRAM AE function.
• The flash effect is not obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright location.

Focusing manually
Normally the focus is automatically adjusted. The manual focus function is convenient to focus the subject under dark situations.
Notes
• Focal point information may not completely show the correct distance. Use the information as a guide.
• Focal point information does not show the correct distance when attaching the conversion lens.
• If you shoot a subject within 0.8 m
(31 1/2 inches) while the zoom lever is set to T side, you cannot get a clear focus. In such cases, the focal point information flashes. Move the zoom lever to the W side until the indicator stops flashing.
• You cannot adjust the focus manually if you have selected the Panfocus mode in the PROGRAM AE function.
1 Set the PLAY/STILL/MOVIE selector to MOVIE or STILL.
2

When you shoot still images, the image on the LCD screen or on the finder is enlarged (double*) and the focal point information appears while the focus is being adjusted.
After adjusting, the image returns to normal size. The range is from
2 cm (13/16 inch) to
∞
(infinity).

Additional information
Precautions
On cleaning
Cleaning the LCD screen or finder
Wipe the screen surface with a cleaning cloth (not supplied) or an
LCD cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the camera surface
Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe the surface dry. Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, alcohol or benzene as this may damage the finish or the casing.
After using your camera at the seashore or other dusty locations
Clean your camera carefully.
Otherwise, the salty air may corrode the metal fittings or dust may enter the inside of your camera, causing a malfunction.
On floppy disks
To protect data recorded on floppy disks, note the following:
• Avoid storing floppy disks near magnets or magnetic fields such as those of speakers and televisions, permanent erasure of disk data may result.
• Avoid storing floppy disks in areas subject to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature, such as a heating device. Floppy disk warping or damage may result, rendering the disk useless.
• Avoid contact with the disk’s surface by opening the disk shutter plate. If the disk’s surface becomes blemished, data may be rendered unreadable.
• Avoid getting liquids on the floppy disk.
• Be sure to use a floppy disk case to ensure protection of important data.
• Even when you use a 3.5 inch 2HD floppy disk, image data may not be recorded and/or displayed depending on the using environment. In this case, use an other brand of disks.
On operating temperature
Your camera is designed for use between the temperatures of 0 °C to
40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Recording in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
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.
Should this occur, the camera will not operate properly.
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.
How to prevent moisture condensation
When bringing the camera from a cold place to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the new location over a period of time (about an hour).

MVCFD95UC\10add.fm] masterpage:Left
01cov.book Page 56 Thursday, March 9, 2000 10:26 AM
If moisture condensation occurs
Immediately eject the floppy disk, then turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
Note that if you attempt to record with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
On AC power adaptor
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
(mains) when you are not using the unit for a long time. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the power cord (mains lead) itself.
• Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord (mains lead) or if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
• Do not bend the power cord (mains lead) forcibly, or place a heavy object on it. This will damage the cord
(mains lead) and may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the connecting section. If this happens, a short may occur and the unit may be damaged.
• Always keep metal contacts clean.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.
• While the unit is in use, particularly during charging, keep it away from
AM receivers and video equipment.
AM receivers and video equipment disturb AM reception and video operation.
• The unit becomes warm during use.
This is not a malfunction.
• Do no place the unit in locations that are:
— Extremely hot or cold
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Vibrating
56
On battery pack
• Use only the specified charger with the charging function.
• To prevent accident from a short circuit, do not allow metal objects to come into contact with the battery terminals.
• Keep the battery pack away from fire.
• Never expose the battery pack to temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight.
• Keep the battery pack dry.
• Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.
• Do not disassemble nor modify the battery pack.
• Attach the battery pack to the camera securely.
• Charging while some capacity remains does not affect the original battery capacity.
On vanadium-lithium battery
Your camera is supplied with a vanadium-lithium battery installed so as to retain the date and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the POWER switch. The vanadium-lithium battery is always charged as long as you are using your camera. The battery, however, will get discharged gradually if you do not use your camera. It will be completely discharged in about six months if you do not use your camera at all. Even if the vanadium-lithium battery is not charged, it will not affect the camera operation. To retain the date and time, etc., charge the battery if the battery is discharged.
