Recording Images
• Pressing the [+] or [–] button to adjust exposure while an exposure
warning indicator is on the LCD causes a +/– exposure value to
appear. This is an EV value.
Low Battery Indicator
The low battery indicator ( ) appears in the center of the LCD
whenever remaining battery power drops below a certain level. It tells
you that power will soon turn off automatically if you continue using
the camera without replacing batteries. Be sure to replace all four
batteries with a fresh set of new ones.
Note that the camera is designed to automatically turn off power ear-
lier when a personal computer or other equipment is connected to the
camera’s DIGITAL terminal for data communications, in order to pro-
tect against problems due to data corruption. Because of this, it is
recommended that your use the camera’s optional AC adaptor
whenever performing data communications.
• See page 13 for details on how to replace batteries.
Memory Full Message
If you are recording images in the Fine Mode and there is not enough
memory for further Fine Mode recording, the message “REMAIN”
appears on the monitor screen along with a value that shows how
many images can still be recorded in the Normal Mode. You can
press MODE at this time to change to the Normal Mode and record
more image if you want.
The message “MEMORY FULL” means that there is not enough
memory for further Normal Mode or Fine Mode recording. Note that

This section describes how to recall and view images stored in cam-
era memory.
Displaying Images on the Camera’s LCD
Camera memory is divided into “pages”, and each image is assigned
to page that is numbered sequentially from 1 through 192 (NORMAL
resolution images). Note that all 192 pages are available only if all
images are recorded using the NORMAL Mode (page 24).

Notes
• If you set the function switch to PLAY after recording an image, that
image appears on the LCD first.
• The message “MEMORY EMPTY” appears on the LCD if there are
no images stored in memory when you enter the Playback Mode.
Displaying Images on a TV Screen
Use the special video cable that comes with the camera to connect it
to a television as illustrated below, and you can then view the images
stored in camera memory on the TV’s screen.
Important!
• The camera can be connected only to a TV that is equipped with a
VIDEO IN terminal.
• Make sure that the power of both the camera and the TV are turned
off when making connections.
• The signal output through this camera's VIDEO OUT terminal is an
NTSC signal. An image output through this terminal will not look
normal if the camera is connected to a PAL or other type of TV or
video deck.
• Leaving the same image displayed on a TV or computer CRT
screen for very long periods can cause that image to “burn in”, leav-
ing a ghost of the image even after the original image is cleared. Be
sure not to leave an image on a TV or CRT screen for long periods.
After connecting the camera and TV, set the channel of the TV to the
channel used for video input.
