Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations:
•In the rain, very humid and dusty places.
•In a place where the camera can be exposed
directly to the sunlight or subject to high temperature, e.g. Inside a closed car in summer.
•In a place where the camera is subject to a high magneticfield,e.g.nearmotors,transformersor
magnets.
Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places where dripping water or sand may come in contact with the camera, which may cause irrepairable faults.
If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we suggest you remove the battery and the memory card.
If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location to a warm place, moisture may condense inside the camera. We suggest you wait for a while before turning on the camera.
