Precautions

Power supply

Use the supply voltage given in “Specifications.”

Operating and storage locations

Avoid shooting a very bright object (such as light fittings or the sun) for an extended period. Avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations.

•Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –5°C to +45°C (23°F to 113°F))

•Where the camera is exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time, or close to heating equipment

•Damp or dusty places

•Where the camera is exposed to rain

•Locations subject to strong vibration

•Close to generators of strong magnetism

•Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV transmitters

Ventilation

Do not wrap the camera in a cloth, etc., during operation. Doing so may cause the internal temperature to rise excessively and cause a malfunction.

Care of the unit

•Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens or optical filter with a blower.

•Clean the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. If it is very dirty, use a cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solvent, then wipe dry.

•Avoid the use of volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzine, and thinners. They may damage the surface finish, or erase the indications on the camera.

Miscellaneous

•Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the camera, or to get combustible or metallic material inside the body. If used with foreign matter inside, the camera is liable to fail, or be a cause of fire or electric shock.

•To protect it from shocks during transport or shipment, pack the camera away in the original box and packing materials, or in packing materials of equal quality.
