INTRODUCTION

Condensation

•When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or other- wise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunc- tion of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to con- ditions that might cause condensation.

•To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a chance to reach the same temperature as the new location. If con- densation does form, remove the battery from the camera and leave the battery cover open for a few hours.

LED Backlight

•The monitor screen is illuminated by an LED backlight. A dark monitor screen indicates that the LED backlight has reached the end of its service life, and needs to be re- placed by a CASIO authorized service center. Note that you will be charged for LED backlight replacement. The LED backlight brightness is reduced by half after about 1,000 hours of use.

Lens

•Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction.

•Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can inter- fere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.
