On cleaning
Cleaning the LCD screen or viewfinder
Wipe the screen surface with a cleaning cloth (not supplied) or an LCD cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the camera surface
Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe the surface dry. Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, alcohol or benzene as this may damage the finish or the casing.
After using your camera at the seashore or other dusty locations
Clean your camera carefully. Otherwise, the salty air may corrode the metal fittings or dust may enter the inside of your camera, causing a malfunction.
On operating temperature
Your camera is designed for use between the temperatures of 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C). Recording in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. Should this occur, “DISC ERROR” appears and the camera will not operate properly.
Moisture condensation occurs easily when:
•The camera is brought from a cold location such as a ski slope into a warmly heated room.
•The camera is taken from an air- conditioned room or car interior to the hot outdoors, etc.
