Usage cautions and notes

When in use

Camera may become warm if used for long periods of time, but this is not a fault.

Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and sound.

Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor (optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect the AC adaptor and turn the camera on.

Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may be adversely affected.

Do not keep objects that may be influenced magnetically close to the speaker.

Magnetized objects such as bank cards, commuter passes, watches, may be adversely affected by the magnetic influence of the speaker.

Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.

Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).

Never leave the camera and the battery in a car or on a car hood in the summer.

It may cause leakage of the battery electrolyte, generation of heat, and may cause a fire and the battery to burst due to the high temperature.

Caring for your camera

To clean your camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping again with a dry cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the outer casing and finish of the camera.

If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions carefully.

When not using for a while

Turn off camera power before removing battery and card (ensure that battery is removed to prevent damage through over-discharge).

Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.

Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in a drawer, etc. Store batteries in cool (15 °C - 25 °C (59 °F - 77 °F)) places with low humidity (40 %RH - 60 %RH) and no major temperature changes.

Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again.
