•	 The	 figures	 for	movies	 are	the	 total	 length	 that	can	be	recorded.	 The	maximum	 recording	time	per	
shooting is 25 minutes or the equivalent of 4 GB.
•	 Depending	 on	the	 subject,	 the	number	 of	pictures	 that	can	be	taken	 may	differ	 from	the	number	 of	
exposures remaining.
•	 Capacity	varies	with	shooting	conditions	and	the	make	of	memory	card.
•	 The	 quality	 of	images	 recorded	 to	the	 internal	 memory	 is	lower	 than	that	of	images	 recorded	 to	a	
memory card.

Optional Accessories
Conversion lens, hood, and adapter
Remove the ring cap before attaching a conversion lens (GW-3) or the lens 
hood and adapter (GH-3).
Removal
Turn the camera off and rotate the cap counterclockwise until it can be re-
moved.
Attachment
With the camera turned off, align the mark -
ing on the ring cap () with the marking on 
the camera body (), and turn the ring cap 
clockwise until it clicks.
 Note  ------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-----------------------------------
•	 Set	[Conversion	Lens]	to	[Wide]	in	[Setup]	menu	when	using	the	conversion	lens.

External Flash
An optional GF-1 TTL flash unit can be connected to the camera hot shoe 
and used as a TTL auto exposure flash.
1 Close the flash cover.
2 Remove the hot shoe cover from the 
hot shoe of the camera.
3 Turn the camera and the optional flash 
unit off and attach the flash to the 
camera hot shoe.
4 Turn the flash and camera on.
 Caution ------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-------------------------------
•	 Do	not	raise	the	built-in	flash	when	using	the	external	flash	as	this	can	result	in	injury	or	damage.
•	 Turn	the	external	flash	off	before	removing	it	from	the	camera.
•	 Use	the	external	 flash	at	ranges	 that	exceed	 the	range	 of	the	 built-in	 flash.	Shooting	 at	a	short	 dis-
tance with an external flash may result in over-exposure of the subject.
 Note  ------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-----------------------------------
•	 If	the	optional	 flash	unit	icon	 is	not	 displayed,	 turn	the	GF-1	 and	camera	 off	and	 then	 remove	 and	
reattach flash.
•	 Press	 the	F($) button to change the flash mode. (GP. 69) To fire the flash manually, do so from 
the	 GF-1.	 The	flash	 fires	with	 every	 shot;	flash	output	 is	fixed	 at	the	 level	 selected	 for	[Manual	 Flash	
Amount]	in	the	[Shooting]	menu.	(GP. 71)

Other Flash Units
1 Attach the flash unit to the hot shoe.
2 Turn on the camera, turn the mode dial to Av, TAv, or M, and set 
the aperture.
3 Set the ISO sensitivity to a value other than [Auto] or [AUTO-HI].
4 Turn on the external flash, set it to Auto, and set the aperture 
and ISO sensitivity to the same values on the camera.
 Caution ------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-------------------------------
•	 Use	only	flash	 units	 with	one	signal	 terminal,	 which	must	be	an	 X-contact	 with	a	positive	 voltage	of	
no more than 20 V.
•	 A	 flash	 signal	 is	output	 to	the	 X-contact	 of	the	 hot	 shoe	 regardless	 of	the	 flash	 setting.	 Stop	operation	
of the flash unit from the flash unit itself.
•	 Exposure	 may	not	be	appropriate	 even	when	 the	aperture	 and	ISO	sensitivity	 of	the	 external	 flash	are	
the same as those of the camera. If so, change the aperture and ISO sensitivity of the flash.
•	 Use	an	external	flash	with	a	lighting	angle	that	covers	the	angle	of	view	of	the	shooting	lens.

Using the Camera Abroad
Using the AC-U1 USB Power Adapter and BJ-6 Battery Charger
These products are for use with currents of 100–240 V and 50 or 60 Hz. Before 
travelling, purchase a travel adapter for connection to the type of outlets 
used at your destination. Do not use these products with electrical trans-
formers, as this could damage the camera.
Warranty
This product was manufactured for use in the country of purchase, and the 
warranty is not valid in other countries. Should the product fail or malfunc -
tion while out of the country, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for 
servicing the product locally or bearing any expenditure incurred thereby.
Television Playback
An AV cable can be used to connect the camera to televisions and monitors 
equipped with a video input terminal. The camera supports the NTSC and 
PAL video formats. Before connecting the camera to a video device, select 
the appropriate video output mode.

Precautions for Use
Camera
•	 This	product	 was	manufactured	 for	use	 in	the	 country	 of	purchase,	 the	warranty	 is	
not valid in other countries. Should the product fail or malfunction while out of the 
country, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally 
or bearing any expenditure incurred thereby.
•	 Do	 not	drop	 the	camera	 or	subject	 it	to	 physical	 shocks.	When	carrying	 the	camera,	 be	
careful that it does not strike other objects. Particular care is required to protect the 
lens and picture display.
•	 The	 flash	may	overheat	 if	fired	 many	 times	in	succession.	 Do	not	 use	 the	flash	 more	
than necessary. Do not use the flash in close contact with your body or other objects. 
Failure to observe these precautions could result in burns or fire.
•	 Using	 the	flash	 unit	in	close	 proximity	 to	your	 subject’s	 eyes	could	 cause	 temporary	
visual impairment. Particular care should be observed when photographing infants. 
Do not direct the flash at the operator of a motor vehicle.
•	 Batteries	 may	become	 hot	with	 extended	 use.	Wait	 for	batteries	 to	cool	 before	 remov-
ing them from the camera.
•	 The	picture	display	may	be	difficult	to	read	in	direct	sunlight.
•	 You	 may	notice	 that	picture	 display	varies	in	brightness	 or	contains	 pixels	that	do	not	
light or that are always lit. This is common to all LCD monitors and does not indicate a 
malfunction.
•	 Do	not	apply	force	to	the	picture	display.
•	 Abrupt	 changes	in	temperature	 may	cause	 condensation,	 resulting	in	visible	 conden-
sation inside the lens or camera malfunction. This can be avoided by placing the cam-
era in a plastic bag to slow the temperature change, and removing it only after the air 
in the bag has reached the same temperature of its surroundings.
•	 To	 prevent	 damage	 to	the	 product,	 do	not	 insert	 objects	 into	the	holes	 in	the	 micro -
phone and speaker coverings.
•	 Keep	 the	camera	 dry	and	 avoid	 handling	 it	with	 wet	hands.	 Failure	 to	observe	 these	
precautions could result in product malfunction or electric shock.
•	 Take	 a	test	 shot	 to	ensure	 that	the	camera	 is	functioning	 properly	before	using	it	on	
important occasions such as travel or weddings. We recommend that you keep this 
manual and spare batteries at hand.
  Avoiding Condensation ------------------------------------------------------------------------\
------------
•	 Condensation	 is	particularly	 likely	to	occur	 if	you	 move	 to	an	 area	 with	 a	sharply	 different	 tempera-
ture, if humidity is high, in a cold room after the heater has come on, or where the camera is exposed 
to cold air from an air conditioner or other device.
