Never put the camera too close to any equipment producing strong electromagnetic fields, such as electric motor. Strong electromagnetic fields could
lead to camera malfunctions or interfere the data recording.
• Avoid Intense Heat
Do not use or store the equipment under sunlight or high temperatures.
Such exposure could lead to the leakage of the batteries or deformation of
the casing.
• Avoid rapid temperature change
Rapidly moving the equipment between hot and cold temperatures may
form water droplets on its exterior and interior. To prevent the condensation, place the equipment in its carry case or a plastic bag before exposing it

Be careful not to apply too much force to the lens, memory card, battery or
the jack cover. These parts are not designed to take extra force than regular
use.
• Battery
In low temperature circumstances, the battery’s capacity may decrease significantly due to the inactive chemical reaction. When taking pictures in cold
weather, keep a warm backup battery on hand.
Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them with a dry, clean cloth
or use an eraser to remove the stain.
