Appendix Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Q How long will the camera batteries last? A You should be able to take as many as 100 frames when the flash is used in about half the shots, but this is only a rough estimate. Battery life is affected by many variables, such as how often you use the monitor, how often you use the flash, the type of batteries used and environmental conditions. Using the monitor frequently will drain battery power quickly, so keep it turned off to save power. Use of the optional AC adaptor is recommended. Q How can I set the clock in the camera for recording the date on image data? A Date setting is not made when the camera is shipped. You must set the date before shooting (p.31). The date can be set either from the camera or using the CAMEDIA Master 2.0. The set date will be cancelled approximately 1 hour after the batteries are removed from the camera. Q Can I use a filter or a hood with this camera? A Such accessories cannot be connected to the camera. Q Can I use an extension flash with this camera? A This camera was not designed for use with extension flash units. Also, a slave unit may not function with this camera. Q Why do the subject's eyes sometimes appear red in the pictures? A This red-eye phenomenon occurs with all cameras when shooting people using a flash. This is caused by the light from the flash reflecting off the back of the eye. Red-eye varies depending on the individual, as well as shooting conditions such as ambient lighting. Use of the Red-eye Reduction Flash Mode significantly reduces this phenomenon (p.65). 130 Q How should I store the camera? A Cameras can be damaged by dust, moisture and salt. Wipe the camera with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly before storing. Do not store with mothballs. Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the camera for a long period of time. 131 Appendix
