Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly
prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording
cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not
possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
About the Battery and Power Adapter
• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged state or in high
temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-
discharge and shorten the battery's life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.
•
Class II equipment: The provided power adapter is a Class II (double-insulated) product.
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
• Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which
can become very hot inside.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may
cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof performance. Place the camera on a cushion
for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the
camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure, take your camera to your
nearest service center and have it checked.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• The display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at normal
temperatures.
• The response speed of the display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is due to the
properties of the liquid crystal and is not a malfunction.
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the inside and
outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag and take it out when the
difference in temperature has subsided.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt. These could cause the
camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.
• Do not press the display with excessive force. This could cause it to break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may damage the exterior of
the camera or the display.
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket
on the camera.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning
as it may damage the lens.
