■Cautions concerning the nickel metal hydride batteries

œPeriodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals of the nickel metal hydride batteries ((+) and (–)) and the terminals located in the battery compartment of the digital camera.

œDo not touch the battery terminals or the terminals in the battery compartment of the digital camera with your bare hands. Doing so will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the usable life of the batteries will diminish.

■Cautions when cleaning the lens

œIf the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.

■When not using the digital camera for a long period

œRemove the batteries. However, when the batteries are removed for a long time, the digital camera functions may begin to not work properly. Periodically reinstall the batteries and check the digital camera functions.

œIf the batteries are left in the digital camera, a small amount of power is still used even if the digital camera is turned off. If the nickel metal hydride batteries are left in the digital camera for a long period, they may become completely discharged and lose their ability to be recharged again.

■Cautions concerning condensation

œUsing the digital camera with condensation inside it may damage the digital camera.

Be careful of condensation under the following conditions

œWhen moving the digital camera suddenly from a cold place to a warm place.

œWhen the ambient temperature changes drastically, such as when a heater is turned on to quickly heat the room.

œWhen the digital camera is placed in the path of cool air from an air conditioner.

œWhen the digital camera is placed in a location of high humidity.

If condensation seems likely to form

œPlace the digital camera in a plastic bag and seal it, and then wait until the digital camera has reached the ambient temperature.

■Cautions concerning undesired interference

œThe digital camera may create undesired interference if used close to a television or radio. To avoid this type of interference, make sure the cores on the supplied AV cable and USB interface cable are not removed.
