Precautions - Sharp VE-CG40U Operation Manual

Precautions

• Before recording an important scene,
please perform the operation test, then
check if the scene was captured properly.
• When the digital still camera is not in use,
remember to remove the card, turn off the
power, and disconnect the digital still cam-
era from the power source.
• Do not aim the lens at the sun.
Do not allow direct sunlight to strike the digital
still camera lens or LCD monitor screen,
whether or not recording is in progress, as it
may damage the CCD sensor or LCD screen
surface. Be particularly careful when record-
ing outside.
• Avoid magnetic sources.
Using the digital still cam-
era near strong fluorescent
lights, motors, televisions,
or other magnetic sources
may adversely affect re-
corded images.
• Using the digital still camera near a broad-
casting station or other powerful trans-
mission source may cause buzzing or im-
age deterioration.
• Avoid shocks and drop-
ping.
Do not drop or otherwise
subject the digital still cam-
era to hard shocks or strong
vibrations. Bumping or strik-
ing the unit during recording
will generate noise in the re-
corded image.
• This digital still camera is equipped with a
moving lens. Do not hit or press it hard.
• Avoid placing the
digital still camera in
close proximity to
lighting equipment.
The heat from incan-
descent lights may de-
form the digital still
camera, or cause it to
malfunction.

• Always respect prohibitions or restrictions
on the use of electronic equipment on
commercial flights or in other sensitive ar-
eas.
• Be aware of the temperature and humidity.
You can use your digital still camera at 32°F
to 104°F (0°C to L40°C), and at 30% to 80%
relative humidity. Do not
store the unit in an
unventilated car in the
summer, in direct sun-
light, or near strong heat
sources; this can result
in severe damage to the
unit casing and circuitry.
• Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or
other foreign matter could get on or inside
the digital still camera, and do not use or
leave your digital still camera in areas with
excessive smoke, steam or moisture.
Such environ-
ments can
cause malfunc-
tions or cause
mildew to form
on the lenses.
Be sure to keep
the unit in a
well-ventilated location.
• Some small, portable tri-
pods may be difficult to at-
tach and may not be sturdy
enough to support your
digital still camera. Be sure
to use only a strong, stable
tripod.
• When using your digital still camera in a
cold environment, the LCD monitor screen
often appears less bright immediately after
the power is turned on. This is not a mal-
function. To prevent the digital still camera
from becoming too cold, wrap it in a thick
cloth, blanket, etc.
