Operating Conditions; Condensation - Casio Exilim EX-Z120 User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Operating conditions

• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging
from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). When using the
alkaline batteries that come bundled with the camera,
certain conditions (the amount of time the batteries spent
in storage before being used, operating temperature,
recording conditions) can cause failure of the camera to
operate at temperatures below 5°C (41°F). Because of
this, use of rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries is
recommended.
• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas.
— In areas subject to direct sunlight
— In areas subject to high humidity or dust
— Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject
to temperature extremes
— Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the
sun
— In areas subject to strong vibration

Condensation

• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or
otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature,
there is the possibility that condensation can form on the
exterior or on interior components. Condensation can
cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid
exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.
• To keep condensation from forming, place the camera
into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is
much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave
it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a
chance to reach the same temperature as the new
location. If condensation does form, remove the batteries
from the camera and leave the battery cover open for a
few hours.
