Questions and answers
How long will the batteries last?
[
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.
How can I correct the clock in the camera that will be used to record the
date on the image data?
[
Date adjustment is not made when the camera is shipped. You can adjust
the date either from the camera or from the computer.
How should I store the camera?
[
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.
Why do the subjects’ eyes sometimes appear red in pictures?
[
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.
Can I use a filter, hood or conversion lens?
[
You cannot use a filter or a hood. A conversion lens adapter (optional) is
required to attach a conversion lens to the camera.
Can I use an extension flash?
[
Yes you can. You can use an extension flash with a grip.
