Cautions before capturing important
■
images
• Before capturing important images, make
sure that the camera is operating properly
and in condition to capture the images
properly.
• Sanyo Electric shall not be held responsible
for any losses that result from images that
could not be recorded, are erased,
destroyed, or damaged in any way due to a
problem with the camera, any of its
accessories, or its software.
Caution concerning copyrights
■
• The images you capture with your camera
are for your own private use; any other use
may violate the rights of copyrights owners.
• Please note that photography may be
restricted at stage performances, shows or
exhibitions, even in presentations whose
purpose is entertaining or amusing
individuals.
• Also note that images that are intended to
be copyrighted cannot be used outside those
limits defined by the regulations of the
relevant copyright laws.
Cautions when cleaning the camera
■
Cleaning procedure
1. Turn off the camera and remove the battery.
(For safety, remove the power cord plug of
the AC adaptor from the power outlet.)
2. Remove the dirt with a soft cloth.
If the camera is extremely dirty,
3. Wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a mild
detergent diluted with water and wrung dry.
CAUTION
• Do not use benzene or thinner products to
clean the camera. Doing so may cause
deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling.
When using a chemically treated cloth,
carefully read its instructions and warnings.
• Do not spray insecticides or volatile sprays
on the camera. Do not let rubber or vinyl
objects contact the camera for a long period.
They may cause deformation, discoloration,
or paint peeling.
• Wipe the monitor with a soft cloth that has
been moistened with water and well wrung
out. Wiping with a cloth soaked with a
cleaning substance or chemicals will erode
the finish or cause it to peel.
Caution concerning the battery
■
• Periodically clean with a dry cloth the
terminals (contacts) of the battery. Do not
touch the battery terminals with your bare
hands. Doing so will allow contaminants
from your hands to adhere to the terminals
and oxidize, increasing the contact
resistance. If the contact resistance
increases, the usable life of the batteries will
diminish.
Caution when cleaning the lens
■
• If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially
available air blower or a cleaning cloth for
photographic equipment to clean it.
When not using the camera for a
■
long period
• Remove the battery. However, when the
battery is removed for a long time, the
camera functions may begin to not work
properly. Periodically reinstall the battery
and check the camera functions.
• If the battery is left in the camera, a small
amount of power is still used even if the
camera is turned off. If rechargeable
batteries are left in the camera for a long
period, they may become completely
discharged and lose their ability to be
recharged again.
Cautions concerning condensation
■
• Using the camera with condensation inside it
may damage the camera.
If condensation seems likely to form
• Place the camera in a plastic bag and seal it,
and then wait until the camera has reached
the ambient temperature.
