ªCondensation
When using the camera outdoors during very cold weather, condensation can form on the camera and lens when you return to a warm place.
When condensation has taken place: Turn the camera off and leave the camera in this condition for about
2 hours. When the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature, the condensation disappears naturally.
ªOptimal Use of the 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.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the battery body and terminals are deformed.
Inserting a deformed battery to the camera may damage the camera.
Be sure to remove the battery after use.
If it is left inserted to the camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the camera is turned off. If the battery is left inserted in the camera for a long time, discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable even after it is charged.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
•The battery has a limited life.
•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
ªCautions for Storage
Before storing the camera, remove the card and the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively stable temperature. (Recommended temperature:
15oC to 25oC,
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
Battery
•Do not leave the camera and the battery at the place where the temperature is too high, such as inside a car during the summer.
•Extremely high or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.
•If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty 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 completely 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.
