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.
Other Precautions
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to
maintain high performance.
• Please note that deleting data, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or
the built-in memory does not completely erase the original data.
6
Deleted files can sometimes be recovered using commercially
Write-protect
switch
available software. It is user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of
such data.
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with
a write-protect switch. Setting the
switch to LOCK prevents new data
from being recorded on the card, the
stored data from being deleted, and
the card from being formatted by the
camera or computer.
r appears on the display when the
card is write-protected.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card
immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Keep the battery/card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory
Card or turn the camera off while the data is being played back or
saved to the card, or the camera is connected to a computer with the
USB cable, as this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be
damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep
it away from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may
damage the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or
electrical interference.
(3) when the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed
while the data on the card is being recorded or accessed.
• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become
unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on
a computer.
7
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed,
recording may stop while you are taking movies even when there is
adequate space in the memory, or shooting and playback may take a
long time.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been
used on another camera.
