Important Points to Remember

•If the camera is left with the power on and not used for a specified amount of time (1 minute unless you have changed this setting), it will enter the sleep mode and automatically switch off the control panel and other displays to conserve battery power. To restore the camera to normal operation, half-press the shutter button, or turn the zoom ring one position left or right and then back to its original position.

•If the camera remains idle in the sleep mode for 1 hour, it will switch itself off automatically. To restsore full operation, you must move the power switch to the OFF position and then back to the ON position.

•To conserve battery power, we recommend that you purchase the AC adapter designed for this camera and use it for long shooting sessions indoors. The camera never enters the sleep mode while the AC adapter is connected to the camera and a power outlet. You can power the camera with the AC adapter without removing the batteries.

•The amount of data required to store a picture depends on the subject, so you may be able to store more or fewer images on a card. Because of this difference in size, you may not be able to store another picture, even after you delete one image from the card with single- frame delete.

Storage capacity of a 8MB and 32MB memory card

The numbers of images per 8MB and 32MB memory are only approximate estimations.

Quality	Resolution (pixels)	Compression	File Size		Images per Card (Reference value)
	(Default settings)	(Default settings)	(Reference value)		8MB	32MB
TIFF	2240 x 1680 (FULL)	1:1	11.3 MB		0 shots	2 shots
SHQ	2240 x 1680 (FULL)	1:2.7	2.8 MB		2 shots	11 shots
HQ	2240 x 1680 (FULL)	1:8	950	KB	8 shots	34 shots
SQ	1280 x 960 (SXGA)	1:8	300	KB	27 shots	110 shots

Because of the difference in cluster size used on SmartMedia and CompactFlash cards, the same number of images may require more or less space for storage on either card. When using a CompactFlash card, the actual capacity of the card could be slightly less than the capacity indicated in the control panel.
