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 during 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.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.

Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.

The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at normal temperatures.
