CAUTIONS

Observe and exercise the following cautions to avoid damage and keep your

camera in an optimum working condition.

• Keep dry
This camera is not waterproof, and may malfunction when immersed in
water, or any liquids enter the interior of the camera

• Keep away from moisture, salt or dust

Wipe off salt or dust with a slightly dampened soft cloth after using your

camera at the beach, then dry your camera thoroughly.

• Keep away from strong magnetic fields
Never put the camera too close to any equipment producing strong
electromagnetic fields, such as electric motor. Strong electromagnetic fields

could lead camera malfunctions or interfere with the data recording.

• Avoid intense heat
Do not use or store the camera under sunlight or high temperatures. Such
exposure could lead to the leakage of the battery or deformation of the
casing.

• Avoid rapid temperature change

Rapidly moving the equipment between hot and cold temperatures may

cause water droplets to form on its exterior and interior. To prevent this condensation,

place the equipment in its carry case or a plastic bag before exposing it in a
rapid temperature change.

• Do not drop

Strong shock or vibrations by dropping could cause malfunctions. Keep the

strap around your wrist when carrying the camera.

9

• Do not unplug or remove the battery when the camera is processing data
When image data is being recorded or deleted from memory cards,
cutting off the power could result in loss of data or damage to the internal circuitry
or memory.

• Handle the lens and all moving parts with care

Do not touch the lens and lens barrel. Be careful when handling the memory
card and battery. These parts are not designed for excessive handling.

• Battery
In low temperatures, the battery’s capacity may decrease
significantly due to the inactive chemical reaction. When taking pictures in
cold weather, keep a warm backup battery on hand.

If the battery terminals get dirt or contamination on them, wipe them off
with a dry, clean cloth or use an eraser to remove the stain.

• Memory cards
Turn off the power before inserting or removing the memory card.
Otherwise, the memory card could become unstable.

Memory cards may getting hot during use, remove the memory card from the

camera with care.
