With a 3,340,000-pixel resolution CCD, the compact camera produces high
quality, high-resolution images (2048 × 1536).
Compact camera
The camera is so light you can carry it with you anywhere.
Immediate recording
Using the camera is as simple as pressing the shutter button. Images thus shot

You can instantly review recorded image files simply by switching to Play
mode. You can also magnify the images (zoom playback), rotate the LCD
monitor, or display several images at once (6-image display).
High image quality and multiple image recording modes
The RDC-7 offers multiple image recording modes to suit your specific
photographic needs, including F (Fine) mode which puts the emphasis on
image quality, and E (Economy) mode which allows you to capture more
images than any other mode.
Wide shooting range
The 3.0X zoom lens allows you to capture subjects in a variety of compositions,
from close-ups to shots with a background.
Natural colors
The white balance feature allows you to capture a subject in its natural colors
under any lighting conditions, indoors or outdoors.
Close-ups
Macro mode for taking close-up shots at distances up to 1cm (with the lens set
on Wide) is ideal for shooting flowers, small objects, etc.
Monitors images on the TV screen
Connect the digital camera to a TV set with the video interface cable supplied
and you can display your image files on the TV screen. You can also connect
the camera to a video deck or video printer to dub the images onto a videotape
or make full color prints.

compatible with the digital camera. When loaded onto a PC, the images can be
printed on a color printer or color copier.

Tips to Extend Recording and Playback Times
* The battery life indicated on the previous page tends to decrease depending on the
ambient temperature.
In a cold environment, warming the battery by hand, for example, may allow you to
take more pictures.
* Increased use of the flash or zoom feature or the LCD monitor will accelerate
expiration of the battery. Keep their usage to a minimum.
* Copying or erasing images repeatedly will also accelerate expiration of the battery.
* The battery life may be extended by shooting images without using the LCD monitor.
Handling Precautions
Read the instruction manual supplied with the battery before using it.
Use only the specified lithium ion battery. Check the type of battery in
Accessories (p.110).
Cleaning the contact area of the battery terminal and the battery with a dry
cloth may extend the life of the battery.
Do not use a battery with a low voltage (such as one which has already
caused the battery symbol (
) to flash) as this may cause malfunction of the
camera (malfunction of the LCD monitor or flashing or lighting of the AF LED,
flash LED or self-timer LED).
If the camera is used continuously for a long period, the battery may become
hot. Allow to cool before unloading it.
Except when charging the battery, store the charger and the battery
separately.
Store the battery in the case provided.
If the camera is not to be used for a long period, discharge the battery
completely before removing it from the camera and store in a cool place.
Recharge the battery fully before reusing the camera.
Note
When using the camera for an extended period near an electrical
source, it is recommended to use an AC adapter (optional). See
Using an AC Adapter (p.26).
It is advisable to have a spare battery handy when powering the
camera by the battery alone.
The battery symbol (
) lights to show that the battery voltage is low.
Recharge the battery. See Charging the Battery (p.23).
26
Using an AC Adapter
When using the camera for long periods of time to record or playback images,
connect an AC adapter (optional) to the camera and power the camera from a
household electrical source.
Using the AD Adapter
Before using the AC adapter, be sure to read the safety precautions in the
accompanying manual.
q Check that the camera is turned off. Connect the AC adapter cable
to the power supply terminal (DC input) on the camera.
See
•“Turning on the Camera (p.41).
w Insert the power plug into the electrical outlet.
Note
If the battery is loaded in the camera while it is connected to the
household power source, the camera is powered from the AC source
and not by the battery.
Unload the battery when using the camera for long periods of time.
Important
Note
Insert the power plug and connection cable securely. If the plug or
cable works loose during recording, the data may be lost or damaged.
If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter while operating the
camera (recording, playback, or erasing), the camera will switch off to
determine the power source. This may cause the data to be lost or
damaged. To avoid this, connect or disconnect the AC adapter while
the camera is turned off.

Tips
Using the Camera for Extended Periods of Time
The camera will turn off automatically (auto power off) to conserve
the battery if it is left idle (no buttons or switches operated) for a
preset time. When you require more time to compose a shot, disable
the auto power off feature. When using the camera for an extended
period of time, have a spare battery or AC adapter (optional) handy.
See Auto Power Off Setting (p.100).
When Focusing is Difficult
You may experience difficulty focusing on the following subjects:
Objects with little or no contrast (such as the sky, white walls, and car hoods)
Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant
protrusions or indentations
Fast-moving targets
Low brightness objects (in dark places)
Strongly backlit objects and objects struck by strong reflected light
Flickering objects (such as fluorescent lights)
When shooting subjects like these, focus on another subject that is located at
about the same distance and then aim at the target with that focus setting. See
Focus Lock Shooting (p.61) Manual Focus Shooting (p.62).

Focus Lock Shooting
Usually, the auto focus function focuses the camera on the subject that appears
in the autofocus field on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder. If the subject is
located outside the autofocus field, it may appear blurred in the resultant shot.
Use the focus lock to ensure accurate focusing on the subject.
See
•“Checking the Position of the Subject (p.45).
When to Use the Focus Lock
If the subject is not positioned inside the
autofocus field, a blurred image will result as
the background, not the subject, is in focus.
If an object other than the subject occupies a
major portion of the autofocus field, the
camera will focus on the object, producing a
blurred image of the people.
How to Use the Focus Lock
q Use the zoom lever to set the size of
your subject.
See
•“Setting the Size of the Subject
(Zoom) (p.44).
w Bring the subject on which you wish
to focus into the autofocus field.
