Usage cautions and notes

When in use
●
The camera may become warm if used for long periods of time, but this is not a fault.
●
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 and/or sound may be disrupted by
electromagnetic radiation.
• Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting
the pictures and/or sound.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created
by speakers or large motors.
• Electromagnetic radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the camera,
disturbing the pictures and/or sound.
• If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly,
turn it off and remove the battery or disconnect the charger. Then reinsert the battery or reconnect
the charger and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and/or sound may
be adversely affected.
●
Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.
●
Do not allow the camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (they can cause
surface damage or the coating to peel).
●
Never leave the camera and the battery in a car or on a car hood in the summer.
It may cause leakage of the battery electrolyte, a generation of heat, and may cause a fire and the
battery to explode due to the high temperature.
Caring for your camera
To clean your camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and wipe with
a soft, dry cloth.
●
Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping with a dry cloth.
●
Do not use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the outer casing
and finish of the camera.
●
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions carefully.
●
Do not obstruct the lens barrel's movement.
When not using for a while
●
Switch off the camera before removing the battery and the card (ensure that the battery is removed
to prevent damage through over-discharge).
●
Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber or plastic bags.
●
Store the camera together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries
in cool (15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F)) places with low humidity (40%RH to 60%RH) and no major
temperature changes.
●
Charge the battery once per year and deplete it completely before storing again.
