FOR CORRECT USE OF YOUR CAMERA

Cautions before capturing important images

Before capturing important images, make sure that the camera is operating properly and in condition to capture the images properly.

Sanyo Electric shall not be held responsible for any losses that result from images that could not be recorded, are erased, destroyed, or damaged in any way due to a problem with the camera, any of its accessories, or its software.

Caution concerning copyrights

The images you capture with your camera are for your own private use; any other use may violate the rights of copyrights owners.

Please note that photography may be restricted at stage performances, shows or exhibitions, even in presentations whose purpose is entertaining or amusing individuals.

Also note that images that are intended to be copyrighted cannot be used outside those limits defined by the regulations of the relevant copyright laws.

Cautions when cleaning the camera

Cleaning procedure

1.Turn off the camera and remove the battery. (For safety, remove the power cord plug of the AC adaptor from the power outlet.)

2.Remove the dirt with a soft cloth.

If the camera is extremely dirty,

3.Wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent diluted with water and wrung dry.

CAUTION

Do not use benzene or thinner products to clean the camera. Doing so may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling. When using a chemically treated cloth, carefully read its instructions and warnings.

Do not spray insecticides or volatile sprays on the camera. Do not let rubber or vinyl objects contact the camera for a long period. They may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling.

Wipe the monitor with a soft cloth that has been moistened with water and well wrung out. Wiping with a cloth soaked with a cleaning substance or chemicals will erode the finish or cause it to peel.

Caution concerning the battery

Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the battery. Do not touch the battery terminals with your bare hands. Doing so will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the usable life of the batteries will diminish.

Caution when cleaning the lens

If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.

When not using the camera for a long period

Remove the battery. However, when the battery is removed for a long time, the camera functions may begin to not work properly. Periodically reinstall the battery and check the camera functions.

If the battery is left in the camera, a small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off. If rechargeable batteries are left in the camera for a long period, they may become completely discharged and lose their ability to be recharged again.

Cautions concerning condensation

Using the camera with condensation inside it may damage the camera.

If condensation seems likely to form

Place the camera in a plastic bag and seal it, and then wait until the camera has reached the ambient temperature.

Be careful of condensation under the following conditions

When moving the camera suddenly from a cold place to a warm place.

When the ambient temperature changes drastically, such as when a heater is turned on to quickly heat the room.

When the camera is placed in the path of cool air from an air conditioner.

When the camera is placed in a location of high humidity.

Caution concerning undesired interference

The camera may create undesired interference if used close to a television or radio. To avoid this type of interference, make sure the cores on the supplied cables are not removed.

*The type (shape) and quantity of cable(s) supplied may differ depending on which product was purchased.

If the docking station or AC adaptor/charger is used in close proximity to a radio or TV set, it may cause interference such as static in AM broadcast signals or noise in the TV image. In this case, increase the distance between the radio or TV and the device.
