Precautions

Do not leave the camera in the following places

•In extremely hot place, such as in a car parked in the sun. The camera body may become deformed or this may cause a malfunction.

•Under direct sunlight or near a heater. The camera body may become deformed or this may cause a malfunction.

•On rocking vibration

•Near strong magnetic place

•On sandy or in dusty place

Do not let sand get into the camera. Sand or dust may cause the camera to malfunction and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.

Cleaning

Cleaning the LCD screen

Clean the screen surface with an LCD cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.

Cleaning the lens

Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.

Cleaning the camera surface

Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Do not use the following as this may damage the finish or the casing.

•Thinner

•Benzine

•Alcohol

•Diposable cloth

•Volatile insecticide

•Contact with rubber or vinyl for a long time

Note on operating temperature

The camera is designed for use within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot locations that exceed this range is not recommended.

On moisture condensation

If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera.

Moisture condensation occurs easily when:

•The camera is brought from a cold location such as a ski slope into a warmly heated room.

•The camera is taken from an air- conditioned room or car interior to the hot outdoors, etc.

To prevent moisture condensation

When bringing the camera from a cold place to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic bag and leave it in the new location for about an hour. Remove the plastic bag when the camera has adapted to the new temperature.

If moisture condensation occurs

Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
