To prevent damage and faults

Avoid shocks, vibration, and pressure

Avoid exposing the camera to strong vibration or shock; e.g. dropping or hitting the camera, or sitting down with the camera in your pocket.

(Attach strap to avoid dropping camera)

Do not press the lens or the LCD monitor.

Do not get the camera wet or insert foreign objects

Do not expose the camera to water, rain, or seawater.

(If camera gets wet, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Wring cloth thoroughly first if wet with seawater, etc.)

Avoid exposing lens and socket to dust or sand, and do not allow liquids to leak into gaps around buttons.

Avoid condensation caused by sudden changes in temperature and humidity

When moving between places of different temperature or humidity, place camera into a plastic bag and allow to adjust to conditions before use.

If the lens clouds up, switch off the power and leave for about two hours to allow camera to adjust to conditions.

If the LCD monitor clouds up, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

LCD monitor characteristics

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.

Unit temperature

The camera may become warm during use. (Especially grip

 

area, etc.)

 

This does not cause a problem with the performance or quality

Grip area
