ENVIRONMENT

■ Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to

physical shock.

■ This camera is not waterproof, and cannot be used underwater. Wipe off

any water droplets with a dry cloth as soon as possible. If the camera gets really wet, promptly consult your nearest Sigma Service Center.

■ Do not leave the camera in a dusty, hot, or highly humid environment for

a long period of time.

■ If the camera is moved from a cold place to a warm room, water droplets

may appear on the camera. Please keep the camera in a bag until it is acclimatized to the ambient room temperature.

■ The camera will work within a temperature range between 0˚C/32˚F and

+40˚C/104˚F and humidity less than 80% (no condensation). However, in cold temperatures below 0˚C, the power performance of the battery is reduced. Please carry a spare battery in these circumstances, and keep the batteries warm.
