Safety Precautions

Caution for Usage Environment
• To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never
leave the camera in the places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through
extreme changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other
heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable items or explosives.
• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with
weatherproof designs, read their manuals as well.
• In places prone to strong vibrations.
• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
• When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod
head. Do not twist the camera.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or
shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly
cause fires.
• Do not push or pull severely on the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. Select a
cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming
inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by turning it on and
pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating normally.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the
camera's manual.
Battery Handling Precautions

your camera's manual.
• Always charge lithium ion battery before using it for the first time, or if the
battery has not been used for a long period.
• When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to
keep the camera and spare batteries as warm as possible. Battery which run
down at low temperatures may be restored after the battery is warmed at
room temperature.
• Before using a rechargeable battery, be sure to read the instructions.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting
conditions or battery.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase
an ample supply of extra batteries. A recommended battery may be difficult
to obtain while traveling.
