B Caution concerning the batteries and terminals
œ Periodically clean the battery terminals ((+) and (–)) as well as the
terminals in the camera's battery compartment cover with a dry cloth.
Do not touch the terminals of either the batteries or the battery
compartment with your bare hands. Doing so will allow contaminants from
your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize, increasing the contact
resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the usable life of the
batteries will diminish.
B Caution when cleaning the lens
œ If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning
cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.
B When not using the digital camera for a long period
œ Remove the batteries. However, when the batteries are removed for a long
time, the digital camera functions may begin to not work properly.
Periodically reinstall the batteries and check the digital camera functions.
œ If the batteries is left in the digital camera, a small amount of power is still
used even if the digital camera is turned off. If the batteries are left in the
digital camera for a long period, they may become completely discharged
and cannot be used.
B Cautions concerning condensation
œ Using the digital camera with condensation inside it may damage the digital
camera.
If condensation seems likely to form
œ Place the digital camera in a plastic bag and seal it, and then wait until the
digital camera has reached the ambient temperature.
Be careful of condensation under the following conditions
œ When moving the digital camera suddenly from a cold place to a warm
place.
œ When the ambient temperature changes drastically, such as when a heater
is turned on to quickly heat the room.
œ When the digital camera is placed in the path of cool air from an air
conditioner.
œ When the digital camera is placed in a location of high humidity.
