Caring for the Products
BTurn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source or the Memory Card
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.
BNotes on the Monitor
•Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
•Due to the general characteristics of OLED monitors, prolonged or repeated display of the same screen or image may result in screen burn. Screen burn can be recognized by decreased brightness in portions of the monitor or mottled display. In some cases, screen burn may become permanent. However, images are in no way affected by screen burn.
To prevent screen burn, do not set monitor brightness higher than necessary and do not display the same screen or image for an extended period of time.
•Images on the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
•The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
The Battery
•Be sure to read and follow the warnings of “For Your Safety” (Avi to viii) thoroughly before using the battery.
•Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions.
•Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below
•When the battery temperature is between 0°C and 10°C (32°F to 50°F) or 45°C to 60°C (113°F to 140°F), the chargeable capacity may decrease.
•The battery is not charged at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 60°C (140°F).
•Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.
•On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
