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.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to 40°C
(14°F to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will
return to normal at normal temperatures.
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low
temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not
a malfunction.

• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may
form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in
a bag or plastic bag and take the camera out when the difference in
temperature has subsided.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.
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 display. 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.
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the
screw in the tripod socket on the camera.
