Introduction
FCAUTION
• This camera is not designed to be waterproof, and cannot be used in the rain or under water. If the camera
should inadvertently be exposed to water, it should be taken quickly to a Contax Service Center for
inspection.
• Take great care to keep the photography lens and other parts clean since soiling such as fingerprints can
affect the accuracy of the camera's metering and focusing functions. If these areas become soiled and
require cleaning, wipe them gently with the supplied cleaner or a third-party lens cleaning cloth. Any dust or
debris should be removed using a blower or lens brush.
• Clean the camera body by wiping with soft cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents or
cleansers, since such substances will damage the body materials.
• Do not remove the SD memory card or Multi-Media Card (MMC) while the card access LED is flashing.
• Interference may occur in recorded or played back images when the camera is used in areas subject to
strong electromagnetic interference (e.g., near a television set or stereo speakers).
• Do not direct the camera lens directly toward the sun when shooting, since the CCD element may be
damaged.
• If the camera is dropped, it may be damaged internally or parts may have been dislodged even when there is
no visible external damage. The camera must be taken to a Contax Service Center for checking.
• Do not attempt to touch the insides of the memory card slot, since damage or malfunction may result.

Getting Ready Taking Pictures
• Clean the camera well after using it at the beach or other locations subject to
large concentrations of sand or dust. Salt air may promote corrosion of metal
components and damage or short circuits in electronic parts, causing the
camera to emit smoke or catch fire. Sand inside the camera may result in
internal damage and operating malfunctions.
• If the camera is brought quickly from a cold place to a warm room,
condensation may form on the lens and internal parts. Such condensation
may result in damage or short circuits in electronic parts, causing the camera
to emit smoke or catch fire. Whenever possible, avoid subjecting the camera
to sudden changes in temperature.
• This camera is a precision electronic instrument, and should be protected
from impacts and falls that might cause damage to internal parts or the
shorting of circuitry.
• This camera is an electronic device which uses a high-performance IC. The
heat emitted from the IC may make the camera hot during use. It is not a
failure.
• When taking the camera overseas or using it to record important events,
check its operating condition and take test pictures beforehand to
confirm proper operation.
