Cautions for Use

∫ Optimal use of the camera
Take care not to drop or knock the unit
or put a lot of pressure on it.
• Take care not to knock or drop the bag/
case that you inserted the camera in as
the shock may cause damage to the
camera, lens or LCD monitor.

causing the camera to fall and be
damaged.
• We strongly recommend you purchase a
good camera bag/case from your local
dealer to protect your camera.
Keep the camera as far away as possible
from electromagnetic equipment (such as
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
• If you use the camera on top of or near a
TV, the pictures on the camera may be
disrupted by electromagnetic wave
radiation.

because doing so may result in noise
adversely affecting the pictures.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
pictures may be distorted, by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.

by microprocessors may adversely affect
the camera, disturbing the pictures.

electromagnetic equipment and stops
functioning properly, turn the camera off

About dirt on the image sensor
This camera features an interchangeable
lens system so dirt may get inside the
camera body when changing lenses.
Depending on the recording conditions, dirt
on the image sensor may appear on the
recorded picture.
Do not change lenses where there is a lot
of dust, and always attach the body cap
when a lens is not attached to the camera,
so that dirt or dust does not get inside the
camera body. Remove any dirt on the body
cap before attaching it.
Clean any dirt on the image sensor using
the steps below.
