2 Getting Started
Observe proper precautions when handling lithium batteries
Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe
the following precautions when handling batteries for use in
this product:
• Be sure the product is off before replacing the battery.
• Use only a 3 V CR123A or DL123A lithium battery.
• When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside
down or backwards.
• Do not short or disassemble the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.
• Do not immerse in or expose to water.
• Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces
or hairpins.
• Immediately after use, or when the product is used on battery
power for an extended period, the battery may become hot.
Before removing the battery, turn the camera off and allow
the battery to cool.
• Discontinue use immediately should you notice any changes
in the battery, such as discoloration or deformation.
Keep out of the reach of children
Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting
the battery or other small parts into their mouths.
Observe caution when operating the flash
Using the flash close to your subject’s eyes could cause
temporary visual impairment. Particular care should be
observed if photographing infants, when the flash should be no
less than one meter from the subject.

Caring for the Camera and Battery
Keep dry
This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in
water or exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal
mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
Keep free of salt, sand, and dust
After using your camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any
sand or salt with a lightly dampened cloth and then dry your
camera thoroughly.
Do not touch the lens with your fingers
Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the lens. To
remove fingerprints or smudges from the lens’ surface, use a
soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol
(alcohol) or lens cleaner.
Handle the slide cover and all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens or flash unit, or to the battery
chamber cover or slide cover. These parts are especially
susceptible to damage.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or
vibration.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment
that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic
fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced
by equipment such as radio transmitters could affect the
product’s internal circuitry.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering
or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause
condensation inside the device. To prevent condensation, place
the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it
to sudden changes in temperature.
4 Getting Started
Batteries
• When you turn the device on, check the battery-level
displayed on the LCD panel to determine whether the battery
needs to be replaced. The battery needs to be replaced the
low battery power indicator appears on the LCD panel.
• Ready a spare battery when taking pictures on important
occasions. Depending on your location, you may find it
difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice.
• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Use
a fresh battery at low temperatures. Keep a spare battery in a
warm place and exchange the two as necessary. Once
warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
• Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with
a clean, dry cloth before use.
Storage
•To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, wellventilated area. If you will not be using the product for a long
period of time, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store
the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not,
however, store the camera case in a plastic bag, as this may
cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually
loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at
regular intervals.
• Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls,
close to equipment that produces strong magnetic fields, or in
areas subject to extremes of temperature, for example near a
space heater or in a closed vehicle on a hot day.
•To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at
least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the
shutter a few times before putting the camera away again.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
