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 Batteries

The AA Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries are rechargeable. The

AAAlkaline batteries cannot be recharged.

Their abilities to generate power are based upon the chemical reaction that takes place inside them. 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 batteries will be shorter.

If you drop the batteries accidentally, check to see if the battery body and terminals are deformed.

Inserting deformed battery to the camera may damage the camera.

Be sure to remove the batteries after use.

If they are left inserted to the camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the camera is turned off. If the batteries are left inserted in the camera for a long time, discharge takes place. The batteries may become unusable even after they are charged.

Dispose of unusable batteries.

The batteries have a limited life.

Do not throw the batteries into fire because they may cause an explosion.

An unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws.

For information you can call the RBRC hotline at 1-800-822-8837.

ªCautions for Storage

Before storing the camera, remove the card and the batteries.

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

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

Batteries

Do not leave the camera and the batteries in a 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 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.

Store the batteries in a completely discharged state. To store the rechargeable batteries for a long period of time, we recommend charging them once every year and storing them again after you completely use up the charged capacity.
