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.
