Getting Started
Ch
arging the battery
Before using the camera for the first time, charge the lithium-ion battery. Place
the battery into the included quick charger, and plug the charger into a standard
110- or 220-volt, 50-60 Hz electrical outlet. When taking the camera out of the
box, the battery may be partially charged; a fully discharged battery may take
four hours or more to charge completely.
During charging, the LED on the charger will illuminate. When charging is
complete, the LED will turn off. A blinking LED indicates a power or connection
problem, such as the battery not being inserted properly.
Inserting the charged battery
The battery compartment is on the underside of the camera. Hold the camera
upside down and slide the thumb-latch to one side to open the door. Insert the
charged battery, hold the door fully closed, and slide the latch back to the locked
position.
Inserting the strap rings
To prepare camera for use with a strap, install the included strap anchors. Insert
an anchor into the strap point on the top of the camera beside the power button.
Turn it 90 degrees to position it. Then place one of the included collars over the
strap anchor and press down until it snaps into place. Repeat theses steps for
the strap point on the side of the camera, below the port cover.
Once strap anchors are installed, attach the strap using the split-rings.
Inserting an SD card
Open the port cover and insert a SD, SDHC, or SDXC card into the SD card slot.
Close the port cover. For optimum performance, format an SD the first time it is
use it in the camera (see Settings, page XX).
