lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
• Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers when shooting. In addition, do not
touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either
action could result in burns.
• If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm.
Please take care when operating the camera for an extended period as your hands
may experience a burning sensation.
Preventing Malfunctions
■ Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment
generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may
cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
■ Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can
avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it
adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
■ If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may
damage the equipment. Remove the CF card, and battery or a household power
source, from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.

Preparing the Camera, Basic Functions
Battery Pack Handling Precautions
•Keep the battery pack and camera terminals (
terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and camera. Polish
the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery
pack.
•Do not cover the compact power adapter with anything, such as a tablecloth,
cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly
lead to fire.
•Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack BP-511 or Battery Pack BP-512
with the supplied equipment. It could damage the camera.
•The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera
even with the power turned off. This shortens the battery life. Remove it from
the camera, attach the supplied terminal cover and store it at room temperature
(30º C / 86º F or less) in a dry place. Charge it before use.
) clean at all times. Dirty
17
Charging the Battery Pack (continued)
•Do not allow any metal objects such as keyrings to touch the “+” and “-”
terminals (Fig. A), as this can damage the battery pack. To carry the battery pack,
or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig. B) or
place it in the supplied case and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge it fully
before using it again.
Fig.AFig.B
BD
•Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to
charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge.
•Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year)
can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you are recommended to use the
battery pack in the camera until the LB symbol displays and to store it at normal
temperature (30º C/86º F or less). If you do not use the battery pack for long
periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera at least once a
year before returning it to storage.
•The camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a
function is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly
attentive in turning the camera off.
•Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º
F), the optimal range is 10 to 30º C (50 to 86º F). At cold temperatures, such as
those experienced when skiing, performance will temporarily decline, reducing
the usable time before recharging.
•If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully
charged, it should be replaced.

Installing the Battery Pack
Install Battery Pack BP-511 (supplied) into the camera as follows. Use the Compact
Power Adapter CA-560 to power the camera for extended periods (p. 21).

CF Card Handling Precautions
•
CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend, force, or subject
them to shocks or vibration.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.
•
Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes may cause condensation
to form in the card, leading to potential malfunctions. To avoid condensation
formation, place the CF card in a sealed plastic bag before moving it into a
different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new temperature. If
condensation forms on the CF card, put it aside until the water droplets have
evaporated completely.
•
Place the CF card in the supplied case for storage.
•
Do not use or store CF cards in the following types of locations.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
Microdrives are a recording medium with a hard disk. Their merits are a large
capacity and a low price per megabyte of capacity. However, they can be more
susceptible to vibrations and shocks than CF cards, which use durable flash
memories. Please be careful, therefore, not to subject the camera to vibrations
or shocks when using a microdrive, especially while recording or replaying.
