Cautions On Use - Ricoh Caplio RX Operation Manual

E. Cautions on Use
• Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.
• Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it consecutively more than
necessary.
• Do not fire the flash near eyes, or view the sun or other strong light directly through the view-
finder. It could cause visual impairment (particularly for infants).
• Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.
• The batteries may become hot after extended use. Touching the batteries immediately after
use could result in burns to your fingers.
• If the LCD monitor or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become washed out and images
may become hard to view.
• The LCD monitor and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain lit up continually in
part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven because of the characteristics of
LCDs. These are not failures.
• While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other objects.
• In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation may occur in the
camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass surface or malfunctions of the cam-
era. If this occurs, place the camera in a bag to slow the temperature change as much as pos-
sible. Take it out of the bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has
decreased to a fairly small amount.
Conditions in which condensation may easily occur:
• When the camera is moved to an environment where the temperature differs greatly.
• In humid places
• In a room immediately after being heated, or when the camera is exposed directly to cooled air
from an air-conditioner or another similar appliance
