QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q
How long will the batteries last?
A
Battery life is affected by many variables such as the amount of LCD
monitor use, the frequency of flash use, as well as by the kind of
battery used and the environmental conditions under which the
camera is used. Using the LCD monitor frequently will use up your
batteries quickly. Keep the LCD monitor turned off to save power. Use
of the optional AC adapter is recommended.
Q
How can I correct the clock in the camera that will be used to record
the date on the image data?
A
Date adjustment is not made when the camera is shipped. You can
adjust the date either from the camera or from the computer. (p. 34)
Q
How should I store the camera?
A
Cameras are susceptible to damage caused by dust, moisture, and
salt. Wipe and dry the camera thoroughly before storing it. After using
it at the beach, wipe it with a cloth that has been moistened with fresh
water and then wrung out. Do not store in an area where mothballs
are used. Unload the batteries if you do not plan to use the camera for
a long period.
Q
Why do the subjects’ eyes sometimes appear red in pictures?
A
This “red-eye phenomenon” occurs with all cameras when a flash is
used. It is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the retina at the
back of the eye. Red-eye varies depending on the individual and the
shooting conditions such as ambient lighting. Use of the Red-Eye
Reducing Pre-Flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon.
