HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
HOW TO STORE THE CAMERA
■If you intend to store the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.
■ To avoid growth of fungus, store the camera and lens in a dry, cool and ventilated
place with a drying agent such as silica gel. Keep your equipment away from
chemicals.
NOTE ON THE TFT COLOR LCD MONITOR
■ A few pixels may always be lit or may never light on the LCD monitor. This is not a
failure or malfunction. Images recorded with the camera will not be affected.
■ Excessive rubbing of, pushing on or impact to the LCD monitor may cause failure.
■ Because of the normal physical characteristics of the liquid crystal, the reaction of
the display may become slow at low temperatures. At high temperatures, the
display may become dark, but it will return to normal at room temperature.
NOTES ON CF CARD AND MICRODRIVE
Unlike a Microdrive
TM
a CF card is resistant to vibration and it is the optimal recording
medium for a digital camera. Nevertheless the effects of strong shock, static
electricity or magnetism, may cause the data memorized by the CF card to be lost. A
Microdrive
TM
is a hard disk. Shock, vibration, static electricity, and magnetism, may
cause data loss and may damage the Microdrive. Therefore, careful handling is
required and caution is especially necessary while writing, or reading data.
■ Do not leave the CF card or Microdrive in direct sunlight or near a heating device.
■ Avoid storing CF cards and Microdrives in environments of high temperature and
humidity or where static electricity or electromagnetic fields may be generated
■ For proper usage of the CF card and Microdrive, please refer to their instruction
manuals.
