Cleaning

When cleaning, do not use benzene or thinner.

••Benzene or paint thinners may deform the camera body and/or cause the surface finish to peel.

••Before proceeding with maintenance, remove the battery or disconnect the AC cord from the power outlet.

••Wipe the camera-recorder with a soft, clean cloth. To remove stubborn dirt, wipe the camera with a cloth moistened with kitchen detergent diluted in water and then finish with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the viewfinder

If there is dust in the viewfinder, remove the eye cup holder and get rid of the dust.

••The interior of the eye cup holder is specially finished, so do not wipe it under any circumstances. If dust has adhered, blow it off with an air blower.

••Remove the eye cup holder by rotating counterclockwise with the eye cup attached. (It has been tightly screwed on.)

When you do this, tilt the viewfinder slightly upward.

••To mount the eye cup holder, align the ridges and grooves of the eye cup holder and camera- recorder, and turn clockwise until the holder clicks into place.

Storage precautions

Before storing the camera, remove both the memory card and battery.

Store all of these items in place with low humidity and relatively constant temperature. Recommended temperature range: 15°C - 25°C Recommended relative humidity: 40% - 60%

Camera-recorder

••Wrap the camera-recorder in a soft cloth to keep the dust off.

Battery

••The service life of the battery will be shortened when exposed to extreme temperatures.

••Storing the battery in a location with oily vapors or high dust concentration may result in corrosion to the terminals or other damage, leading to malfunction.

••Keep metal objects (such as necklaces and hairpins) away from the terminals. Short- circuiting may occur across the terminals, causing the battery to heat up, you may seriously burn yourself if you touch the battery in this state.

Memory card

••After ejecting a memory card from the camera- recoder, always put it in its own case.

••Do not leave memory cards in areas where corrosive gases, etc. are present.

••Do not leave the memory cards inside vehicles, in places exposed to direct sunlight or in other places where the temperature is high.

••Do not leave the memory cards where the humidity level is high or where there are high concentrations of dust.
