Index
• A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when used at room
temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new EN-EL19 battery.
• Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource.
Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Charging AC Adapter
• The Charging AC Adapter EH-69P is for use only with compatible devices. Do not use with another
make or model of device.
• The EH-69P is compatible with AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in other
countries, use a plug adapter (available commercially) as necessary. For more information about
plug adapters, consult your travel agency.
• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than Charging
AC Adapter EH-69P or USB-AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
overheating or in damage to the camera.
Memory Cards
• Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved Memory Cards” (A21)
for more information about memory cards.
• Observe the precautions noted in the documentation included with your
memory card.
• Do not affix labels or stickers to the memory card.
• When you use memory cards that have been used with other devices for the
first time, be sure to format them with this camera. We recommend formatting
new memory cards with this camera before using them with this camera.
• Note that formatting permanently deletes all images and other data on the
memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep before
formatting the memory card.
• If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when the
camera is turned on, the memory card must be formatted. If there is data that
you do not want to delete, tap No. Copy the necessary date to a computer, etc.
If you want to format the card, tap Yes. The confirmation dialog will be
displayed. To start formatting, tap OK.
• Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to
or deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the
camera or memory card:
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the
battery or memory card.
- Turn off the camera.
- Disconnect the AC adapter.
• Do not format the memory card using a computer.
