About the Lens
• Do not exert excessive force on the lens.
• Images may appear slightly white if the front lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.). Turn the camera
on, hold the extended lens barrel with your fingers, and gently wipe the front lens surface with a
soft, dry cloth.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as light rays from the sun may cause it to
malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes
from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to
the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low,
the operating time of the battery will become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
• Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or keep it away from metal objects (clips,
etc.).
Bring along charged spare batteries when going out.
• Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in low temperature conditions
such as in winter.
• When you travel, do not forget to bring the charger and the USB cable so that you can charge
the battery in the country that you are traveling in.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the body of the battery and the
terminals are damaged.
• Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.
Disposal of an unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
• This can cause short-circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch
such a battery.
