The format of the saved data is called as the file format. The l)m_ats that can be used with this camera are as l_llows: JPEG format Most digital still cameras, operating systems of computers, and browser software adopt this IBrmat. This format is able to compress files without appreciable deterioration. However, if the image is compressed and saved on repeated occasions, the image will deteriorate. This camera records still images using the JPEG format for normal recording. GIF format Using this format, the image will not deteriorate even if the image is compressed and saved on repeated occasions. This format limits the number of colors to 256 colors. This camera records still images using the GIF IBnnat in Clip Motion (page 59) or TEXT mode (page 57). TIFF format Stores shooting images without compression, so the image does not deteriorate. Most of operating systems and applications correspond to this l)rmat. This camera records still images using the TIFF format for the TIFF mode (page 58). MPEG format This IBrmat is very typical for moving images. This camera records audio using the MPEG l)rmat l)r the moving images recording and the VOICE mode (page 56). "O 39

Yore- camera is designed lbr use between the telnperatures of 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F). Recording in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended If the calnera is brought directly flora 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 cameia is brought flom a cold location such as a ski slope into a warmly heated rOOill. • The calnera is taken flora an air- conditioned room or car interior to the hot outdoors, etc. How to prevent moisture condensation When bringing the camera flom 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 ovel a period of time (about an hour) If moisture condensation occurs Turn off the camera and wait about an hotu for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to record with lnoismre remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear hnages. • Unplug the trait from the wall outlet (mains) when you are not using the unit tbr a long time. • To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the phlg.

The "IntBLITHIUM ' batte_ Wpack is a lithium-ion battely pack that has fimctions tbr conmnmicating intbrnlation related to operating conditions between your camera and tile AC powe_ adaptor. The "InIBLITHIUM" balte_ Wpack calculates the power consmnption according to the operating conditions of your camera, and displays the remaining battery time in lllinutes Charging the battery pack • Be sme to charge tile barrel Wpack befole you start using your camera. • We recommend charging tile battel Wpack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) until the FULL indicator appears, indicating that the battel T pack is fillly charged. If you charge the baltel T pack outside of this telnpemture range, you may not be able to efficiently charge the baltel Wpack. • After charging is completed, disconnect the AC power adaptor flora the DC IN jack Oil yotlr camera or remove tile batte; W pack. Effective use of the battery pack • Batte_ T pertbrmance decreases in low- tempelanue surromldings. So, the time that the batte_ Wpack can be used is shorter in cold places. We recommend tile tbllowing to use the batte_ T pack longer: Put the battery pack in a pocket close to yore body to warm it up, and inse_t it in yore camera immediately before you start taking shots. • Frequently using the LCD panel or fiequently operating the zoom wears out the battery pack taster. • Be ce]min to tm-n the POWER switch to offwhen not taking shots or playing back on yollr canlera. • We recommend having spare batteries han@ tbr two or thlee times the expected shooting time, and make trial shots be/bre taking the actual shots. • Do not expose the batte! T pack to water The batte_ Wpack is not water-resistant. Remaining battery time indicator •I t'the power goes off although the batte_ W remaining indicator indicates that tile batte; Wpack has enough power to operale, chmge tile batte; Wpack flflly again so that the indication on the balte;y remaining indicator is correct. Note, however, that the correct batte; Windication sometimes will not be restored if it is used in tfigh temperatures for a long time or left in a flflly charged state, or the batte! T pack is frequently used. Regard the remaining batte; W time indication as tile approximate shooting time How to store the battery pack • If the batte_ Wpack will not be used fo! a long time, use up the batte_ Wpack after flflly charging it once per year Remove the batte_ T pack flora yore camera, then store it in a &y, cool place. This is to maintain the batte! T pack's fimctions. • To use tile baste:?' pack up on yore camera, leave the POWER switch to oil in slide show playback mode tmtil the powe! goes oft'. Battery life •The batte_ W life is limited. Batte_ Wcapacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the batte; W operating time is shmtened considerably, a probable cause is flint tile batte; Wpack has reached the end of its life Please buy a new battery pack. • The batte; Wlife varies according to how it is stored and operating conditions and environment for each batte;y pack. 85 1> 1-, o. o 5" 3 g) o
