Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

•When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.

•When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.

•The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

About the Battery and Power Adapter

•To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged state or in high temperatures.

•If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.

•Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

•The AC plug adapter D-PL135 is designed for exclusive use with the Power Adapter D-PA135. Do not use it with other devices.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

•Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

•Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure, take your camera to your nearest service center and have it checked.

•The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).

•The display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at normal temperatures.

•The response speed of the display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a malfunction.
