Health and safety information

Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or poorly- ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and internal components.

Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an extended period of time. Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage to your camera.

Prolonged usage of the camera may overheat the battery and raise the internal temperature of the camera. If the camera stops operating, remove the battery and allow it to cool down.

Protect your camera from sand and dirt when using it on beaches or in other similar areas.

Protect your camera from impact, rough handling, and excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.

Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters and installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing the connectors, improperly connecting cables, or improperly installing batteries and memory cards can damage ports, connectors, and accessories.

Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to improper use may not be covered by your warranty.

Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury to yourself or others.

Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.

Paint or metal on the outside of the camera may cause allergic reactions, itchy skin, eczema, or swelling for people with sensitive skin. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the camera immediately and consult a doctor.

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage

Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0 ºC/32 ºF or above 40 ºC/104 ºF). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.

Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage. Also, this may cause fire or electric shock.

Prevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting in your camera.

Do not allow liquids, dirt, or foreign substances to come in contact with the memory card slot. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction.

Insert the memory card in the correct direction. Inserting a memory card in the wrong direction may damage your camera and memory card.

Turn off the camera when inserting or removing the memory card.

Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact or pressure.

Do not use memory cards that have been formatted by other cameras or by a computer. Format the memory card with your camera.

Never use a damaged charger, battery, or memory card.

Furthermore, the camera supports continuous shooting at 3 frames per second, enabling users to capture action sequences with ease.

Another notable characteristic of the NX100 is its 3-inch AMOLED display, which offers vibrant colors and excellent viewing angles.
