n Card
Do not leave the card in places where
there is high temperature or direct
sunlight, or where electromagnetic
waves or static electricity are easily
generated.
Do not bend or drop the card.
• The card may be damaged or the
recorded content may be damaged or
erased.
• Store the card in the card case or the
storage bag after use and when you store
or carry the card.
• Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter
the terminals on the back of the card and
do not touch the terminals with your
fingers.
n Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power is
based upon the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery will be
shorter.
After use, be sure to remove the battery.
Store the removed battery in the battery
carrying case (supplied).
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the battery body and
terminals are damaged.
• Inserting a damaged battery in the
camera will damage the camera.

Others
We recommend you to take a spare
battery with you when you leave home.
• Be aware that the operating time of the
battery will become shorter in low
temperatures such as outdoors at a ski
resort.
• When you travel, be sure to prepare the
supplied charger to charge the battery on
the spot.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire because
it may cause an explosion.
Do not allow the battery terminals to
come in contact with metal objects
(such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
• This can result in a short circuit or heat
generation and, if you touch the battery in
this condition, you may be badly burned.
n Charger
• If you use the charger near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the
charger 1 m or more away from radio.
• When the charger is in use, it may
generate whirring sounds. However, this
is not a malfunction.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the AC
cable from the electrical outlet. (If it is left
connected, a minute amount of current is
consumed.)
• Keep the terminals of the charger and
battery clean.
