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, LCD monitor, 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 LCD monitor
• When carrying or using the playback feature, ensure that
the lens is in the stored position, with lens cap on.
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.
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions,
●
which present a risk that sand, water, or foreign material
may enter the camera through the lens or openings around
buttons. Be especially careful, because these conditions
may damage the camera and such damage may not be
repairable.
• In extremely dusty or sandy places
• In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be
exposed to water
■
Condensation (When the lens or the LCD monitor 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 or LCD monitor 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.

The effect of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject and is affected by

factors such as distance to the subject, whether the subject is looking at the camera
during preliminary flash, and so on. In some cases, the effect of red-eye reduction
may be negligible.
Do not put your hands over the light-emitting area of the flash

Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects

Edges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without
