APPENDIX

Operating Temperature and Conditions

•This camera is designed for use from -20° to 50°C (4 to 122 °F).

•Never leave your camera where it may be subjected to extreme temperatures such as in the glove compartment of a car.

•The data panel response time will be slow at cold temperatures. The display will temporarily darken at high temperatures, but will be restored when the temperature normalizes.

•This camera is not waterproof or splashproof. When using the camera in the rain, protect the camera and lens.

•Never subject the camera to extreme humidity.

•To prevent condensation from forming, place the camera in a sealed plastic bag when bringing it from a cold environment to a warm one. Allow it to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag.

•The low-battery symbol may appear even with fresh batteries depending on the storage conditions. To restore camera power, turn the camera off and on several times.

•Battery capacity decreases at colder temperatures. Keep your camera and spare batteries warm when shooting in cold weather. Batteries will regain some of their capacity when warmed to nor- mal operating temperature.
