Handling Precautions

The Camera

zTo prevent malfunction and damage from electromagnetic waves, never place the camera near motors or equipment which generate strong magnetic fields.

Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

zTo prevent condensation when moving the camera from a cold location to a hot location, seal the camera inside a vinyl bag and remove the camera after acclimatizing it to the ambient temperature.

In the event that condensation in the camera occurs, remove the memory card and battery and leave the camera idle at normal temperature until the moisture naturally evaporates.

The Battery

zKeep the battery terminals clean at all times.

Dirty terminals may cause poor contact between the battery and camera. Polish the terminals with a soft cotton swab before charging or using the battery.
