u Caution
• The self-portrait shutter button does not work with a halfway
press and needs to be fully pressed down. If the button is
pressed when the focus mode is set to v, a picture is taken
after autofocus is performed. Even if the subject is not in
focus, the shutter release has priority over focusing the
subject and a picture is taken.
• When the self-portrait shutter button can be used for
shooting, other button/dial operations are disabled.
• Keep the monitor closed when not using the camera.
t Memo
•
Shooting with the self-portrait shutter button is available only
when [Self-portrait Shutter Button] of [Button Customization]

A
4 menu is set to [On] (default setting) and the monitor
is positioned at the correct angle. (p.15) When the self-portrait
shutter button can be used for shooting, the indicator lamp
lights green or red and the main switch lamp turns off. At all
other times, the self-portrait shutter button functions as the
switch to turn the Wi-Fi function on or off. (p.39)

Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as
at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a
computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media (memory cards), etc.
About the Battery and Charger
• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC109. Do not use it with other devices.
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use
a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,
automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to
normal at normal temperatures.
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,
and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
56
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry
off any rain or water drops.
• Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to
break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using
a tripod.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol,
and benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Please contact your nearest service center for professional cleaning of
the CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to
maintain high performance.
Storing Your Camera
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
