Preparations

Before use

■Camera handling

Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.

●Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which may damage the lens, monitor, viewfinder, or camera body.

This may also cause the camera to malfunction or prevent recording.

•Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface

•Pushing with excessive force on the lens or monitor

Do not hold the lens barrel as you take pictures. There is a risk that your finger will be trapped as the lens retracts.

When camera is not in use or when using the playback feature, ensure that the lens is in the stored position.

There are times when rattling sounds or vibrations will come from the camera, but these are due to the motion of the aperture, the zoom and the motor and do not indicate a defect.

The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof. Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where water can come into contact with the camera.

■Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or viewfinder, is fogged up)

●Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens, monitor, or viewfinder dirty, cause mold, or damage the camera.

●If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours before using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature, the fogging will clear naturally.
