Notes on the battery

• Charge the battery before using the camera for

the first time.

• The battery can be charged even if it is not

completely discharged. Also, even if the battery

is not fully charged, you can use the partially
charged capacity of the battery as is.

• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

time, use up the existing charge and store the
camera in a cool, dry place. This is to maintain
the battery functions.

• For details on the battery, see page 64.

No compensation for contents of the
recording

• The contents of the recording cannot be

compensated for if recording or playback is not
possible due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media, etc.

Internal memory and memory cards
back up

• Do not turn off the camera or remove the

memory card while the access lamp is lit, or the
internal memory data or the memory card data
may be destroyed. Always protect your data by
making a back up copy.

About changing the language setting

• The on-screen displays in each local language

are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before
using your camera if necessary (page 20).

Notes on recording/playback

• To ensure stable operation of the memory cards,

we recommend that you format the memory
card the first time you use it with this camera.
However, if you format the memory card, all the
data on the memory card will be deleted and you
cannot restore that data. So, be sure to store your
important data on the computer before
formatting the memory card.

• This camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-

proof, nor water-proof.

• Before you record one-time events, make a trial

recording to make sure that the camera is
working correctly.

• Be careful not to get the camera wet. Water

entering the inside of the camera may cause
malfunctions which in some cases may not be
repairable.

• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright

light. This may cause irrecoverable damage to
your eyes. Or it may cause the malfunction of
your camera.
