Before Use

Care of the camera

Do not subject to strong vibration, shock, or pressure.

•

The lens, monitor, or external case may be damaged if used in the following conditions. It may also malfunction or image may not be recorded if you:

– Drop or hit the camera. – Press hard on the lens or the monitor.

• When camera is not in use or when using the playback feature,

ensure that the lens is in the stored position, with lens cap on.

• 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.

This camera is not dust/splash/water proof. Avoid using the camera in places with a lot of dust, water, sand, etc.

Liquid, sand and other foreign material may get into the space around

•

the lens, buttons, etc. Be particularly careful since it may not just cause malfunctions, but it may also become irreparable.

– Places with a lot of sand or dust. – Places where water can come into contact with this unit, such as when using it on a rainy day

or at the beach.

∫ About Condensation (When the lens, the viewfinder or

monitor is fogged up)

Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity

•

changes. Be careful of condensation since it causes lens, viewfinder and monitor stains, fungus and camera malfunction.

• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about

2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature.
