IMPORTANT!

pressing against or hitting the lens. Holding the lens with your hand so it cannot extend creates the risk of malfunction.

] (PLAY) while in the REC mode switches to the PLAY mode. The lens retracts about 10 seconds after
switching modes.

■Turning Power Off
Press [ON/OFF] (Power).

•You can configure the camera so power does not turn on
when you press [
] (REC) or [
] (PLAY). You can also configure the camera to turn off when you press [
] (REC) or [
] (PLAY) (page 208).
Turning On Power for the First Time
The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring screen text language, date, and time settings. Use the procedure under “Configuring Display Language, Date, and Time Settings” (page 11) to configure the settings correctly.
IMPORTANT!
•Failure to set the date and time will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.
•If you make a mistake when configuring the language, date, and time settings, you can change the settings (pages 202, 206).
