Before Use

∫About the Lens

•Do not direct the lens to the sun or strong light sources. It may cause not only a malfunction of the camera but irreversible damage to your eye.

•Do not press the lens strongly.

•Leaving the camera with the lens facing the sun may cause a malfunction. Be careful when you put the camera outside or near a window.

∫About Condensation (When the lens

is fogged up)

Condensation takes place when the ambient temperature or humidity is changed as follows:

Be careful of condensation since it causes stains on the lens, fungus or malfunction.

•When the camera is brought inside from the cold to a warm room.

•When the camera is moved from outside to an air-conditioned car.

•When cool wind from an air conditioner or other is directly blown onto the camera.

•In humid places

Put the camera into plastic bag until the temperature of the camera is close to the ambient temperature to avoid condensation. In case of condensation, turn the camera off and then leave it for about 2 hours.

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

∫If you will not be using the camera for a long time

•Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature. [Recommended temperature:

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

•Be sure to remove the battery and the card from the camera.

•When the battery is left inserted in the camera for a long time, discharge takes place even if the camera is turned off. If you leave the battery inserted for an extended period of time, it will be excessively discharged and it may become unusable even after it is charged.

•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.

•When you keep the camera in a closet or a cabinet, we recommend storing it with the desiccant (silica gel).
