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 (microSD

Card), etc.

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

About the Battery and Power Adapter

• 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 power adapter supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with this camera. Do not use it
with any other equipment.

Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used
Batteries

1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents mean that
used electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should not be mixed with general

household waste.

Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must be treated separately and in
accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these

products.

By disposing of these products correctly you will help ensure that the waste undergoes the

necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on
the environment and human health which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste
handling.

If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in accordance with the Battery
Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in
the battery at a concentration above an applicable threshold specied in the Battery Directive.

For more information about collection and recycling of used products, please contact your local
authorities, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the products.

2. In other countries outside the EU

These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard used products, please

contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.

For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the dealer,

even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home
page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
