Precautions:
Thank you for selecting the Vivitar Vivicam 355 digital camera. Please read these instructions
carefully for a thorough understanding of your new camera before taking pictures.
•
This camera is not water resistant and should not be used outdoors in snow or rain.
If accidentally dropped in water, please quickly pour out the water, and dry in sunlight
or using an air-blower.
•
Protect your camera from excessive humidity. Excessive humidity may cause moisture
to form on the lens and your pictures taken may appear to be blurred.
•
Do not expose the camera to sand or dust.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Always take it to an authorized
service facility for repair.
•
Remove the batteries if you do not expect to use the camera for 30 days or longer.
•
When storing the camera, wrap it in a piece of clean, soft cloth and place it in a cool,
dry, dust-free place. Avoid storage in high temperature conditions or in direct sunlight.
•
The batteries may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted, exposed
to high temperature, or disposed of in fire.
•
AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH batteries can be used with this camera. It may damage the
camera if you use poor quality batteries.
•
Make sure all four batteries are fresh, unused, and fully charged.
•
Ensure that battery polarities are correct when placing the batteries in the camera.
•
Batteries may feel warm after being used for some time.
•
Take care of the lens. Use a soft lens cloth to clean it.
•
Do not subject the lens, LCD monitor screen, or viewfinder to sharp or hard objects.
•
Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm room. Try to
put the camera in a plastic bag so condensation forms on the outside of the bag.
•
If the status LCD or the TFT LCD display is damaged, do not touch it.
•
Battery low detection:
When you see the battery icon blinking, you should replace the batteries with new
alkaline batteries or fully charged NiMH batteries.
If the batteries are low you cannot use the flash strobe and you should refrain from
using the LCD monitor in order to take more pictures.
•
Battery life is shorter for low quality alkaline batteries. If you use the LCD monitor and
the flash strobe, you should use high quality batteries. High power NiMH rechargeable
batteries (1300mAH or higher) are also recommended.
