Important notes

Be sure to observe the following precautions!

This unit contains precision electronic components. Do not use or store this unit in the following locations.

-Areas exposed to severe changes in temperature and humidity.

-Areas exposed to dust and dirt.

-Areas exposed to direct sunlight or the inside of a vehicle in hot weather.

-Environments where there is high magnetism or excessive vibration.

-Areas with high explosives or highly flammable materials.

Do not leave this camera in places subject to dust, chemicals (like naphthalene and mothball), high temperatures or high humidity. Keep this camera with silica gel in a hermetically sealed box when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time.

Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

-Do not let sand get inside the camera when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or other areas where there is lots of sand.

-Doing so may result in failure or may render the camera permanently unusable.

Handling the camera.

-Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.

-Protect the large size LCD monitor from an impact. When this camera is not used, keep it in the camera case.

-Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.

-This camera is not waterproof.

To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

-If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do not let water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in failure or may permanently damage the unit.

Extremes in temperature may cause problems.

-If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry. If this seems likely, wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed before attempting to use the camera.

Moisture built up can also occur on the memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

Caution on Using the Lens.

-If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.

-Avoid getting fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.

If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can occur.

It is a good idea to remove the battery and the memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.

If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the memory card.
