Do not use benzine, thinner or
alcohol for cleaning the camera.
• Before cleaning the camera, remove
the battery or disconnect the AC
adaptor from the electrical outlet.
• The camera body may be deformed
and the surface finish may peel off.
• Wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth.
To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a
cloth that is soaked in a detergent
diluted with water and afterward finish
wiping with a dry cloth.
If you will not be using the camera for
a long time, be careful of the fungus.
• Do not keep the camera in a place
where it will be subjected to high
temperatures, high humidity or soot.
Fungus may be attached to the lens
and the camera or condensation may
occur.
• Keep the camera in a cool, dry and
well-ventilated place and avoid storing
near dust or chemicals.
• We recommend keeping it in a closed
case with the desiccant.
ª Condensation
When using the camera outdoors during
very cold weather, condensation can
form on the camera and lens when you
return to a warm place.
When condensation has taken place:
Turn the camera off and leave the
camera in this condition for about
2 hours. When the camera becomes
close to the ambient temperature, the
condensation disappears naturally.
ª Optimal Use of the 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.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the battery body and
terminals are deformed.
Inserting a deformed battery to the
camera may damage the camera.
Be sure to remove the battery when
you do not use the camera for a long
period of time.
If it is left inserted to the camera, a
minute amount of current is consumed
even when the camera is turned off. If
the battery is left inserted in the camera
for a long time, discharge takes place.
The battery may become unusable even
after it is charged.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire
because it may cause an explosion.
