PRECAUTIONS

Lens

Camera performance can be adversely affected by finger- prints or dirt on the lens surface. Never touch the lens sur- face with your fingers.

Should the lens become dirty, use a blower to blow off dirt and dust, or a soft, dry cloth to wipe off the lens.

This camera uses a telescoping type lens, which moves whenever the camera is turned on or off. Make sure noth- ing is blocking lens movement and never turn power on or off while the camera is laying lens down.

Never remove batteries or disconnect the AC adaptor while the lens is extended. Doing so can cause the lens to be- come stuck in the extended position, resulting in camera malfunction.

Date Setting

No data setting is made before the camera is shipped from the factory. Be sure to use the procedure on page E-41 to set the time and date before using the camera for the first time. File name assignment and time stamping will not be performed correctly if the time and date are wrong.
