•Before cleaning the camera, detach the battery or pull out the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.
•Wipe the digital camera with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth.
•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 detach the battery or pull out the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.
•If the battery is left on the digital camera for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the battery will not function even after it is recharged.
ªOptimal Use of the Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the battery becomes shorter.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
Be sure to detach the battery from the digital camera. (If it is left attached to the digital camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the digital camera power is off) If the battery is left attached to the digital camera for a long time, discharge
takes place. The battery may become unusable after it is charged.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
•The battery has a limited life.
•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
Always keep the terminals of the battery clean.
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust, or other substances.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the battery body and terminals are deformed. Attaching a deformed battery to the digital camera may damage the camera.
ªCondensation
When 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 detach the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature: 15 to 25 oC, Recommended humidity:40 to 60 %)

•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.
