Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Starting Use

• 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 (SD Memory Card), etc.

• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

About the Battery and Battery Charger

• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing it especially 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 service life.

• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the battery charger D-BC92. Do not use it with any other equipment.

Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera

• Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure, take your camera to your nearest service center and have it checked.
