Caring for the Products

BPrecautions on Handling the Camera in Cold Locations

The operation of this camera has been confirmed at temperatures of –10°C (14°F). If the camera is left with snow or water droplets adhered to the exterior, snow or water droplets between the gaps may become frozen and it may be difficult to operate parts of the camera.

At temperatures from –10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), the performance of the batteries (number of pictures shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily.

If the camera becomes extremely cold in cold locations, the monitor performance may drop temporarily immediately after the power is turned on (i.e., the monitor appears darker than usual or a residual image occurs).

When using the camera in cold locations or at high altitudes, keep the camera warm inside a protection against cold or clothing.

BDo Not Drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.

BHandle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care

Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens.

BDo Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods

Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of the image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.

BKeep away from Strong Magnetic Fields

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry.

BAvoid Sudden Changes in Temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

Do not expose the camera to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sunlight before entering the water.
