Overview – Before using the unit
Take care not to drop the main unit when carrying the camera.
•
Strong impact will damage the main unit, and it may not operate properly.
•
Hold the handle or grip when carrying the camera, and handle it carefully.
Do not apply insecticide or volatile material to the camera.
•
The main unit may deform or the paint may peel off when insecticide or volatile material is applied.
Do not allow the camera to remain in contact with a rubber or vinyl object for a long
period of time.
Disconnect the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet after the use.
Battery characteristics
The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It produces electrical energy via an internal chemical reaction. This chemical
reaction is effected by the ambient temperature and humidity. The usable time of the battery becomes shorter when the
temperature gets higher or lower. When used in an environment with extremely low temperature, it can only be used for
approximately 5 minutes.
When the battery is in an extremely hot environment, its protective function will operate and the unit cannot be used temporarily.
After using the unit, be sure to remove the battery.
Securely remove the battery from the camera.
(Minute current is consumed even if the camera is turned off when the battery is left attached)
The battery will become over discharge and may become unusable even if it is recharged when the battery is left attached for
long period of time.
Do not remove the battery when the power is turned on.
Turn off the power and remove the battery after the operation lamp goes completely out.
Take proper care of the battery terminal.
Do not allow dust or foreign objects on the battery terminal.
Confirm that the battery and its terminal section is not deformed when the battery is dropped by mistake.
Do not mount the deformed battery into a camera or mount to the battery charger. This may damage the camera or the battery
charger.
Cautions when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others
Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the unit or a computer will merely change the file management
information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards.
It is recommended to completely erase the data in following method when discarding/conveying.
•
Physically destroy the memory card itself
•
Completely erase the data in the memory card using a commercially available data erasing software for PC, etc.
Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their memory card.
LCD monitor and viewfinder
•
Condensation sometimes forms on the LCD panel of the LCD monitor in locations subject to extreme temperature differences.
If this happens, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
•
Do not touch the LCD monitor with your finger nails, or rub or press with strong force.
•
The LCD monitor will be slightly darker than normal immediately after the power is turned on when the camera is very cold. It
will return to its regular brightness when the internal temperature increases.
•
The LCD monitor and viewfinder are managed with high precision so that at least 99.99 % of the dots are effective pixels and
0.01 % or less are invalid pixels and always lit. This is not a malfunction and it has no effect whatsoever on the recorded
images.
•
The viewfinder for this camera uses an organic EL display. The image may burn into the screen if the same image or letters
are left displayed on the screen for a long time. There is no problem with the recorded images.
Switch the screen by turning off the screen or by using the eye sensor, etc.
•
It may become difficult to see or difficult to recognize the touch when a LCD protection sheet is affixed.
