Selecting AC frequency

This camera is set to your country's AC mains frequency (e.g. 60Hz for US, 50Hz for Europe). If you
take images under an electric light source in another country with a different frequency, you have to
set the frequency to match the AC mains frequency of the country you are in. Otherwise horizontal,
black stripes will be found on the taken images due to incorrect mains frequency. There will be no
problems when taking images under sunlight.

To change the frequency:
1. Press Mode button repeatedly until "60 (Hz)" or "50 (Hz)" is shown on the LCD panel.
2. Press Shutter button to change from "60 (Hz)" to "50 (Hz)" (or from "50 (Hz)" to "60 (Hz)" to match

that country's AC mains frequency.

For example, if the preset for your camera is 60 (Hz), you will see 50 (Hz) on the LCD panel when
you press Mode button repeatedly. To change to 50 (Hz), press Shutter button once.

NOTE:If batteries are removed from and re-inserted into the camera, the camera will be reset to

its default settings, including the frequency setting. Make sure your desired AC frequency
setting is on before taking images.
