Care
The surface of the LCD screen has a
coating that may peel off if scratched.
Please note the following points for
handling and care.
• Grease or hand cream left on the
LCD screen by your hands may
dissolve the coating. If any grease
or cream gets on the LCD screen,
wipe it off immediately.
• Wiping forcefully with tissue paper
or other materials may damage the
coating.
• Before wiping dirt, dust the dirt or
sand off in advance using a blower,
etc.
• When wiping off dirt, wipe gently
with a soft cloth, such as a cloth for
cleaning glasses.
On operating temperatures
Your camera is designed for use in
temperatures between 0°C and 40°C
(32°F and 104°F). We do not
recommend shooting in extremely
cold or hot places that exceed this
range.
On moisture condensation
If the camera is moved directly from
a cold to a warm location, moisture
may condense inside or outside the
camera. This moisture condensation
may cause a malfunction of the
camera.
