Opening and Closing the Lens Cover

Opening the lens cover

Slide the lens cover in the arrow direction.

Sliding the lens cover will allow the flash to pop up.
Opening the lens cover fully and turning the power on
causes the lens to extend and the camera to be
initiated with the

photography mode.

Closing the lens cover

Slightly slide the lens cover in the arrow direction.

Following an alarm the lens will be automatically
returned to the original position and the

playback

mode

will be selected. Wait until the lens is

completely returned, then close the lens cover by
sliding it.

Because the flash is not automatically

returned, gently push the flash down until the latch
clicks.

Important

• Do not move the lens cover while the lens is moving. Neglecting this may cause product

damage.

Notes

• With the lens cover opened, you cannot lock the flash down. To return the flash to the

original position, close the lens cover first.

• If the camera has been connected to the PC using a USB cable, the camera is initiated

with the PC mode no matter whether the lens cover has been opened or closed.

Open the lens cover when taking photographs. When not taking photographs, keep the
cover closed to protect the lens.
