Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions

Do not drop: The product may mal-
function if subjected to strong
shocks or vibration.
Keep dry: This product is not water-
proof, and may malfunction if
immersed in water or exposed to
high levels of humidity. Rusting of
the internal mechanism can cause
irreparable damage.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature:
Sudden changes in temperature,
such as those that occur when
entering or leaving a heated build-
ing on a cold day, can cause con-
densation inside the device. To
prevent condensation, place the
device in a carrying case or plastic
bag before exposing it to sudden
changes in temperature.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields:
Do not use or store this device in
the vicinity of equipment that gen-
erates strong electromagnetic
radiation or magnetic fields.
Strong static charges or the mag-
netic fields produced by equip-
ment such as radio transmitters
could interfere with the display,
damage data stored on the mem-
ory card, or affect the product's
internal circuitry.
Keep the lens mount covered: Be sure to
attach the body cap if the camera
is without a lens.
Do not touch the dust shield: The dust
shield covering the image sensor is
easily damaged. Under no circum-
stances should you exert pressure
on the shield or poke it with cleaning
tools. These actions could scratch or
otherwise damage the shield.
Turn the product off before removing or
disconnecting the power source: Do not
unplug the product or remove the
battery while the product is on or
while images are being recorded or
deleted. Forcibly cutting power in
these circumstances could result in
loss of data or in damage to product
memory or internal circuitry. To pre-
vent an accidental interruption of
power, avoid carrying the product
from one location to another while
the AC adapter is connected.
Cleaning: When cleaning the cam-
era body, use a blower to gently
remove dust and lint, then wipe
gently with a soft, dry cloth. After
using the camera at the beach or
seaside, wipe off any sand or salt
using a cloth lightly dampened in
pure water and then dry the cam-
era thoroughly.
Lenses are easily damaged. Dust
and lint should be gently removed
with a blower. When using an
aerosol blower, keep the can verti-
cal to prevent discharge of liquid.
To remove fingerprints and other
stains from the lens, apply a small
amount of lens cleaner to a clean,
soft cloth and wipe the lens care-
fully.
