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 batteries. Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively stable temperature. (Recommended temperature:

59oF to 77 oF (15oC to 25oC), Recommended humidity: 40 to 60%)

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.

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.

Batteries

Do not leave the camera and the battery in places where the temperature is too high, such as inside the car during the summer.

Extremely high or low temperatures will shorten the life of batteries.

If the batteries are 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.

ªLCD monitor

LCD monitor

In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

If the digital camera is extremely cold when you turn the power 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.
