Precautions For Use - Ricoh R02010 Operating Manual

Precautions for Use

Camera
• Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shocks.
• When carrying the camera, be careful that it does not strike other objects. Particular
care is required to protect the lens and monitor.
• Battery may become hot with extended use. Wait for the battery to cool before re-
moving it from the camera.
• The monitor may be difficult to read in direct sunlight.
• You may notice that monitor varies in brightness or contains pixels that do not light
or that are always lit. This is common to all LCD monitors and does not indicate a
malfunction.
• Do not apply force to the monitor.
• Abrupt changes in temperature may cause condensation, resulting in visible conden-
sation inside the lens or camera malfunction. This can be avoided by placing the cam-
era in a plastic bag to slow the temperature change, and removing it only after the air
in the bag has reached the same temperature of its surroundings.
• To prevent damage to the product, do not insert objects into the holes in the micro-
phone and speaker coverings.

• Do not allow the camera to get wet. In addition, do not operate it with wet hands. Fail-
ure to observe this precaution could result in product malfunction or electric shock.
• Take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning properly before using it on
important occasions such as travel or weddings. We recommend that you keep this
manual and spare batteries at hand.
Conditions that May Cause Condensation -------------------------------------------------------------
• If you move to an area with a sharply different temperature
• If humidity is high
• In a cold room after the heater has come on, or where the camera is exposed to cold air from an air
conditioner or other device
