Cautions for Use

When carrying the unit, do not drop it or hit it against
a hard surface. In addition, take care not to apply
excessive pressure on the unit.
• Be careful not to drop the bag containing the unit or hit it
against a hard surface, as doing so will expose the unit
to impact. Otherwise, the unit may stop operating
correctly or pictures may no longer be recorded.
Damage to the unit may also result.
When using pesticides and other volatile substances
around the camera make sure that they do not get
onto the unit.
• If such substances get onto the unit they can damage
the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.
Do not point the unit at the sun or other strong light
sources.
• This could cause the unit to collect an excessive amount
of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.
• Avoid using or storing the unit in any of the following
locations as this may cause problems in operation or
malfunctioning:
– In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer
– In locations with high temperatures and humidity
levels or where the changes in temperature and
humidity are acute
– In locations with high concentrations of sand, dust or
dirt
– Where there is fire
– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers
– Where water may make the unit wet
– Where there is vibration
– Inside a vehicle
• Refer also to the operating instructions of the digital camera.
• When the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, we recommend storing with a desiccant (silica
gel). Failure to do so may result in performance failure
caused by mold, etc. It is recommended that you check
the unit's operation prior to use.
• Do not leave the unit in contact with rubber or plastic
products for extended periods of time.
• Do not touch the unit's contact points. Doing so may
cause malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or alter the unit.
Do not leave the unit in direct contact with the skin in
cold temperatures for long periods of time.
• In cold locations (environments below 0 oC (32 oF), such
as ski slopes), prolonged direct contact with the metal
parts of the unit may cause skin injury. Use gloves or
similar when using the unit for long periods of time.
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other similar
cleaning agents to clean the unit.
• Using solvents can damage the unit or cause the paint to
peel.
• Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.
• Use a dry, dust-free cloth to remove dirt and dust on the
lens mount rubber.
• Do not use a household detergent or a chemically
treated cloth.
