•For storing or transporting the digital camera, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the coating on the camera body from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the card out, and remove batteries.
•If the batteries are left in the digital camera for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the batteries will not function even after they are recharged.
ªOptimal Use of Batteries
• Do not throw batteries into fire because it may cause an explosion.
Always keep the terminals of batteries clean.
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust, or other substances.
If you drop the batteries accidentally, check to see if batteries body and terminals are deformed. Attaching a deformed battery to the digital camera may damage the camera.
ªCondensation
When the condensation has taken place:
Set the power switch to [OFF] and leave the digital camera in this condition for about 1 hour. When the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally.
ªCautions for Storage Before storing the digital camera, take the card out and remove the batteries.
Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:59 to 77 F (15 to 25 oC), Recommended humidity:40 to 60 %)
Digital camera
•Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting into the camera.
•Do not leave the camera in places that expose it to high temperature.
Batteries
•Extremely high or low temperatures will shorten the life of batteries.
•If the batteries are kept in smoky or dusty places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.
•Do not allow the battery terminals to come in contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result in a short circuit or heat generation, and if you touch the battery in this condition, you may be badly burned.
•Store the batteries in a completely discharged state. To store the batteries for a long period of time, we recommend you charge them once every year and store them again after you completely use up the charged capacity.
Card
•When the card is being read, do not remove the card, turn off the power, or subject it to vibration or impact.
•Do not leave the card in places where there is high temperature or direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated.
•Do not bend or drop the card. The card or the recorded content may be damaged.
•After use, be sure to remove the card from the digital camera.
•Do not touch the terminals on the back of the card with your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter it.
