2. Turn the camera on. You should then be able to operate the camera using the TV screen instead of the LCD. (The LCD will turn off when the camera is connected to the TV-out port).

Precaution

• Internal memory and SD card back up

Do not turn off the camera or remove the battery or SD card while the camera is processing data, as the internal memory data or data on an SD card may be destroyed. Always protect your data by making a back up copy.

• Notes on recording/playback

 Before you record one-time events,

make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly.

 Be careful not to get the camera wet.

Water entering the inside of the camera may cause malfunctions, which in some cases may not be repairable.

 Do not aim the camera at the sun or

other bright light. It may cause the malfunction of your camera.

 Clean the flash surface before use. The

heat of flash emission may cause dirt on the flash surface to become discoloured or to stick to the flash surface, resulting in insufficient light emission.

• On carrying

Do not sit down in a chair or other place with the camera in the back pocket of your trousers or skirt, as this may cause malfunction or damage the camera.

• On cleaning

Cleaning the LCD

Wipe the screen surface with an LCD cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.

Cleaning the lens

Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.

Cleaning the camera surface

Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Do not use the following as they may damage the finish or the casing.

 Chemical products such as thinner,

benzene, alcohol, disposable cloths, insect repellent, sunscreen or insecticide, etc.

 Do not touch the camera with the

above on your hand.

 Do not leave the camera in contact

with rubber or vinyl for a long time.

• On moisture condensation

If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera.

If moisture condensation occurs

Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
