ªCondensation

When condensation has taken place:

Set the power switch to [OFF] and leave the digital camera in this condition for about 1 hour.

When the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally.

ªCautions 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:

15oC to 25oC,

Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)

Digital camera

•Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting into the camera.

•Do not leave the camera in places that expose it to high temperature.

•Store the battery in a completely discharged state. To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store 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 where 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.

Battery

•Do not leave the camera and the battery at the place where the temperature is too high, such as inside the car during the midsummer.

•Extremely high or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

•If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty places, the terminal 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.

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 the AC cable. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed)

•Keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery always clean.
