Cautions for Use (Continued)
_ AC adaptor | _ Condensation |
When condensation has taken place:
•If you use the AC adaptor near a radio (especially when you are tuning in AM stations), 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 normal.
•After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. (If it is left connected, about 0.1 W of current is consumed at most.)
•Keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor
clean at all times.
Put this SD Multi Camera near the outlet to make it easy to reach for the interrupting device (plug).
_Charging error
When the charge lamp blinks approx. every 0.5 seconds, it suggests the following states.
•The ambient temperature or that of the battery itself is too high or too low. Charge the battery after warming the temperature of periphery or battery adequately.
•The SD Multi Camera, battery or AC adaptor may be defective. Contact your nearest Panasonic dealer.
When using the camera outdoors during very cold weather, dews can be formed on the camera and the lens when you return to a warm place.
If condensation takes place, the lens may be fogged or the camera may not properly operated. Take care not to cause condensation and take the appropriate countermeasures.
Causes of condensation
Differences in temperature and humidity as shown below cause condensation.
•When this unit is brought into a warm room from outdoors in the cold.
•When this unit is brought inside a car from outside.
•When warming a cold room suddenly.
•When cool air from an air conditioner is directly blowing on the unit.
•When the place is humid.
•Turn the power off and leave this unit in this condition for about 1 hour. When the camera become close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally.
•When you move this unit from a cold place to a warm place, enclose the camera in a plastic bag, wait until the camera is warmed, and then take it out of the bag.
