Usage cautions and notes

When not using the camera for a while

●●Turn off the camera before removing the battery and the card (ensure that battery is removed to prevent damage due to over-discharge).

●●Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber or plastic bags.

●●Store the camera together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving it in a drawer, etc. Store batteries in cool (15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F)) places with low humidity (40% RH to 60% RH) and no major temperature changes.

●●Charge the battery once per year and drain it completely before storing it again.

Memory cards

●●To prevent damage to cards and data

••Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic fields, and static electricity. ••Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.

••Do not touch the terminals or allow them to become dirty or wet. ●●When disposing of/transferring memory cards

••If using the “format” or “delete” functions on your camera or computer, this only changes the file management information, and does not completely delete the data from the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying them, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the card. Data on memory cards should be managed responsibly.

Monitor

●●Do not exert excessive pressure on the monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage it.

●●In cold weather or other situations when the camera gets cold, the monitor may appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is turned on. Normal brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.

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