ª CondensationWhen condensation has taken place:Set the power switch to [OFF ] a n d leave the digital camera in this condition for about 1 hour. When the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally.ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the digital camera, take
the card out and detach the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:
59 F to 77 F (15oC to 25oC),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
Digital camera
• Wra p it with a soft cloth to prevent dust
from getting into the camera.
• Do no t leave the camera in places that
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
• Do not leave the camera and the battery at
the place where the temperature is too
high, such as inside the car du r i ng the
midsummer.
• E x tre mely high or low temperatures will
shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is kept in smoky or du sty
places, the terminals may rust and cause
malfunctions.
• 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.
• Store the battery in a comple tely
discharged state. To store the battery for a
long period of time, we recommend
charging it once every year and storing it
again after you completely use up the
charged capacity.
Card
• When the card is being read, do not
remove the card, turn off the power, or
subject it to vibration or impact.
• Do not leave the card in places wher e
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 or
the recorded content may be damaged.
• After use, be sure to remove the card from
the digital camera.
• Do not touch the terminals on the back of
the card with your fingers. Do not allow
dirt, dust or water to enter it.
AC adaptor
• If the battery is warm, charging takes a
longer time than normal.
• If you use the AC adaptor near a radio,
radio reception may be disturbed. Keep
the AC adaptor 100 cm or more away from
radio.
• When the AC adaptor is in use, it may
generate whirring sounds. However, this is
normal.
• After use, be sure to disconnect t he AC
cable. (If it is left connected, a minute
amount of current is consumed)
• Keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and
battery clean at all times.
