SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Camera notes:
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 hig h temperature, e.g. Inside a closed car in summer.
In a place where the camera is subject to a high
magnetic eld, e.g. near motors, transformers or
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.
No compensation for loss of recordings. Loss of recordings cannot be compensated for if a mal­function of your camera or recording media, etc,
makes the playback of recordings not possible.
Battery notes:
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to
leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the
precautions given below.
• Do not expose the batteries to water, and take particular care to keep the terminals dry.
• Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a re.
• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the batteries.
• Use GE charger in the package to charge the
lithium battery only (for G1 and E series). Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.
In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they can be used shortens
markedly.
Memory card notes:
When using a new memory card, or a memory card
has been initialized by a PC, be sure to format the
card with your digital camera before using it. To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC's
hard disk and then format memory card if upgrade the rmware.
Do not change or delete the directory names, or le
names in the memory card from your PC, as this may make it impossible to use the card in your camera.

About the LCD screen
When you turn the camera on, various icons are shown on the LCD screen to indicate the current camera settings and status. To learn more about the displayed icons, see “LCD
Screen display” on page 38.
LCD Screen notes:
Extremely high-precision technology had been used to manufacture the LCD screen so that most of the pixels are operational for use. However, there may be some minute
points (black, white, red, blue or green) that
constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing pro-
cess and the recording is not aected in any
way.
If the LCD monitor is damaged, take
particular care with the liquid crystal in the monitor. If any of the following
situations arise, take the urgent action
indicated.
If liquid crystal comes in contact with your
skin, wipe the area with a cloth and then
wash thoroughly with soap and running water.
If liquid crystal gets into your eye, ush the aected eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
If liquid crystal is swallowed, ush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large
quantities of water and induce vomiting.
Then seek medical assistance.
