•Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.
•Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.
•The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
•The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperature but will return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.
•The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.
•Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high performance.
•If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the inside and outside of the camera.
Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.
•Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this may cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto the camera, please wipe dry.
•Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.19) regarding the SD Memory Card.
•Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or malfunction.
