Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, make sure 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 (SD Memory Card), etc.
About the Battery
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing 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.
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 0°C to 40°C (32°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
5
bag, and remove it after the temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.
• 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.
• Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may damage the exterior of the camera or the display.
• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or 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.
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. Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated location.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
