Important Safeguards and Precautions

The exclamation point in an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
your camera.

✔ Read Instructions—Read all the safety and operating instructions before

operating your camera.

✔ Follow Instructions—Follow all operating and usage instructions.
✔ Controls—Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions.

✔ Heed Warnings—Heed all warnings on your camera and in the operating

instructions.

✔ Retain Instructions and Packaging—Retain the safety and operating instructions

for future reference. Retain the packing case for use if your camera needs to be
shipped.

✔ Handling—Handle your camera with care. Treat the imager and the anti-aliasing

filter as you would your best lens. Do not drop your camera. Do not place your
camera on an unstable cart, stand, bracket, or table. It can fall, causing serious
injury to persons and serious damage to your camera.

✔ Dust—If you operate the camera in environments with excessive dust levels, dust

may accumulate on the camera. Refer to “Cleaning” on page 14-2.

✔ Water and Moistur e— Do not use the camera in heavy rain or near salt spray, and

do not immerse your camera in water or other liquids. Do not use the AC adapter
near water—for example, near a sink, or in a wet room or basement.

✔ Disposal— This digital camera contains lead and mercury. Disposal of lead and

mercury may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or
recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronics
Industry Alliance: www.eiae.org

1-4

.

✔ Object or Liquid Entry—Never push foreign objects of any kind into your

camera openings. The objects could touch dangerous volt age poi nts or short out
parts and cause a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on your
camera.

✔ Attachments—Do not use attachments that are not recommended. The use of such

attachments may cause hazards and serious damage to your camera.

✔ Power Sources—Operate your camera only from the type of power source

indicated on the name plate of the AC adapter. If you are not sure of the type of AC
power that will be used, consult a dealer or local power company.

✔ Overloading—Do not overload power outlets and extension cords; this can result

in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

✔ Cables—Do not use cables other than those supplied with the camer a. Use only the

IEEE 1394 cable included with your camera to attach the camera to the computer.
If you use other cables, you may violate FCC emission requirements.

✔ Power-Cord Protections—Route power-supply and other cords so that you are

not likely to walk on them or pinch them with items p laced on or again st them. Pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, receptacles, and the point where they leave
your camera.

✔ Grounding—The AC adapter is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug

with a third (grounding) pin. The three-wire plug fits into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact an electrician to replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.

✔ Lightning—For added protection for your camera during a lightn ing st orm, or an y

time when you will leave your camera unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and disconnect the camera from
the computer. This will protect your camera from damage caused by lightning or
power-line surges.

✔ PC Cards—PC Cards (not supplied with the camera) are fragile devices that can

be damaged if not treated with care. Refer to the documentation accompanyin g any
PC Card you obtain to ensure that you are handling it as specified in that
documentation, and that you are using the PC Card within its operating ranges for
temperature, humidity, condensation, etc.

Important Info

1-5

✔ Humidity , Co ndensation—We recommend operating your camera within the

range of 8% to 85% relative humidity, non-condensing. If condensation occurs,
added time may be required t o read from or write to a PC Card. Co nden sati on may
be present if the camera system and/or PC Cards are moved from a relatively cold
environment (like an air-conditioned hotel room) into a warm, humid environment.
We recommend that you allow sufficient time for the camera system and/or PC
Cards to normalize within the specified environmental ranges before operation.
(PC Cards may have more restrictive humidity ranges. Refer to the specifications
accompanying your PC Cards.)

✔ Servicing—Do not attempt to service your camera your sel f. Open i ng or removing

covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards and void the
warranty.

✔ Damage Requiring Service—Unplug your camera from the wall outlet and

computer, and refer all servicing to the manufacturer under the following
conditions:

• If liquid has been spilled or if objects have fallen into your camera.

• If your camera has been exposed to heavy rain or water . (While it is designed to
tolerate a reasonable amount of water, your camera is not waterproof.)

• If your camera does not operate normally according to the operating
instructions.

• If your camera has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.

• When your camera exhibits a distinct change in performance.

✔ Disassembling the Camera—Never attempt to take the camera apart. The camera

is shipped as a single unit. Do not disconnect the parts (except when cleaning a
dirty anti-aliasing filter or imager).

Battery Charger

Y o u need to charge a battery before using it for the first time and whenever it is low. If you
plan to use your camera without the AC adapter for an extended period o f time, it is a good
idea to charge one or more batteries before you begin. An external battery charger is
included with your camera.

For the best results, store and use the battery charger within the following temperature
ranges:

Storage temperature range: -25°C to 70°C (-77°F to 158°F)
Charging temperature range: 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)

The battery charger has two slots. A yellow and a green light near the slots illuminate to
indicate the status of the batteries:

Yellow light Green light Battery Status

Off
On
Off
Slow Flashing
Fast Flashing

* While you can use a battery when the light turns green, you will have optimal results if

you leave the battery in the charger for two hours after the light turns green.

more images and are usually faster than flash memory cards, but flash memory cards are
more rugged.

☛ PC Cards must be ATA-compatible.

CAUTIONS:

Use extreme care when handling PC Cards, as they are easily damaged. If
dropped, a PC Card may be destroyed, resulting in the loss of all data on the card.

PC Card

Do not remove a PC Card from the camera while the Card Present icon on the
Back Status LCD panel or the Card Busy LED inside the Battery/PC Card door
are blinking. The blinking indicates that data is being read from or written to the
PC Card. You may lose data if you remove a card at this time.

☛ Refer to the Photo Desk documentation for instructions on saving the settings using

the software.

This feature saves you time if you repetitively work under the same lighting conditions.
For example, if you frequently work in an indoor stadium with a particular type of
lighting, you can name and save a White Balance setting for reuse.

When you select a white balance option, you identify the type of lighting used to capture
an image. For example, if you capture an image in daylight, you would set the white
balance to daylight for the best results.
