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 mothballs), high temperature and 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 permanently render the camera
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 cam-
era 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 environ-
ment, 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 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 discolor-
ation and deterioration of the image sensor.
- Take care not to get 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.
