■Card
Do not leave the card in places where there is high temperature or direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated.
Do not bend or drop the card.
•The card may be damaged or the recorded content may be damaged or erased.
•Store the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when you store or carry the card.
•Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter the terminals on the back of the card and do not touch the terminals with your fingers.
■Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the battery will be shorter.
After use, be sure to remove the battery.
Store the removed battery in the battery carrying case (supplied).
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the battery body and terminals are damaged.
•Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.
When you go out, bring charged spare batteries.
•Be aware that the operating time of the battery will become shorter in low temperatures such as outdoors at a ski resort.
•When you travel, be sure to prepare the supplied charger to charge the battery on the spot.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
•The battery has a limited life.
•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
Do not allow the battery terminals to come in contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
•This can result in a short circuit or heat generation and, if you touch the battery in this condition, you may be badly burned.
■Charger
•If you use the charger near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the charger 1 m or more away from radio.
•When the charger is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is not a malfunction.
•After use, be sure to disconnect the AC mains lead from the electrical outlet. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)
•Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean.
