Before Use

∫If you will not be using the camera for a long time

•Store the batteries in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature. (Recommended temperature:

15oC – 25oC,

Recommended humidity: 40% – 60%)

•Be sure to remove the batteries and the card from the camera.

•When the batteries are left inserted in the camera, the batteries are discharged since a weak electric current is passed even if the camera is turned off. (Refer to P14 for Ni-MH batteries.)

•When you keep the camera in a closet or a cabinet, we recommend storing it with the desiccant (silica gel).
