ƈExtremes 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 occurs, turn
the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed.
Moisture build up can also occur in the memory card. If this happens, turn off
the camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has
dispersed.
ƈCaution on Using the Lens
- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in discoloration and
deterioration of the image sensor.
- Don't get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.
ƈIf the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can
occur. It is a good idea to remove the batteries and the memory card if you do
not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.
ƈIf the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to
protect the memory card.
ƈCamera Maintenance
- Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to gently clean the lens and LCD
assemblies. If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid
can be used. Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera
to come into contact with solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners
etc. This may damage the body shell of the camera and also affect its
performance. Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to
avoid damage and keep the camera in its protective carry case at all times
when not in use.
ƈDo not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.
Important notes
Be sure to observe the following precautions!
ƈThis 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.
ƈDo not leave this camera in places subject to dust, chemicals (like naphthalene
and mothball), high temperature and high humidity. Keep this camera in a
hermetically sealed box with silica gel when not planning to use it for a long
period.
ƈSand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.
- Do not let sand get inside the unit when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or
other areas where there is lots of sand.
- Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the unit unusable.
ƈHandling the camera
- Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
- Protect the large size LCD monitor from impact. When this camera is not used,
keep this camera 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.
