Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

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, 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.
• 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.
3
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases,
Write-protect

• 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. Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated place.
• 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 in locations where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

• If the indicator lamp blinks or does not light after the battery is
inserted correctly If the battery starts to run down more quickly even after being
charged (the battery may have reached the end of its service life)
• The maximum charging time is approximately 390 minutes (it depends on temperature and remaining battery power). Charge in a location where the temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.

Inserting/Removing the Battery

• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it may not be removed.
Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth before inserting.
• Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery while the power is on.
• Be careful as the camera or battery may become hot after the camera is used continuously for a long period of time.
• Remove the battery when you will not use the camera for a long time. The battery may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of non-use. If the removed battery will not be used for six months or longer, charge the battery for about 30 minutes before storing it, and after that, recharge the battery every six to twelve months. Store the battery in a location where the temperature will remain at
• or below room temperature. Avoid locations with high temperatures.
• The date and time may be reset if you leave the battery out of the camera for long periods of time. If this happens, set the current date and time again. (w p.R28)
