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.
Card
•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 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 you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m or more away from radio.
•When the AC adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is not a malfunction.
•After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)
•Keep the terminal of the AC adaptor and battery clean.
ªScreen
LCD monitor
•In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
•If the camera is extremely cold when you turn the camera on, the image on the LCD monitor is slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.
Viewfinder
•Do not direct the Viewfinder or lens to the sun. Internal components may be seriously damaged.
