Cautions for Use
ª Cautions for Use
Keep the digital camera away from
magnetized equipment (such as a
microwave oven, TV, video game
equipment, etc.).
• If you use the digital camera on or
near a TV, images may be
disturbed due to electromagnetic
wave radiation.
• Do not use near a cell phone
because doing so may cause noise
to adversely affect the images.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
images may be distorted by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers
or large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation
generated by a microprocessor may
adversely affect the digital camera,
causing the disturbance of images.
• If the digital camera is affected by
magnetically charged equipment
and does not function properly, turn
the camera off, remove the batteries
and then insert batteries again.
Then, turn the camera on.
Do not use the digital camera near
radio transmitters or high-voltage
lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters
or high-voltage lines, recorded
images may be adversely affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile
chemicals onto the digital camera.
• If the digital camera is sprayed with
such chemicals, the camera body
may be deformed and the surface
finish may peel off.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic
products in contact with the digital
camera for a long period of time.
When you use the digital camera on a
beach or similar place, do not let
sand or fine dust get into the camera.

be taken when inserting and
removing the card)
When you use your digital camera on
a rainy or snowy day or on a beach,
make sure that no water enters the
digital camera.

or card to malfunction. (Irreparable
damage may occur)
• If sea water splashes onto the
digital camera, wet a soft cloth with
tap water, wring it well, and use it to
wipe the camera body carefully.
Then, wipe it again thoroughly with
a soft dry cloth.
Do not use the digital camera for
surveillance purpose or other
business use.
• If you use the digital camera for a
long period of time, the internal
temperature increases and,
consequently, this may cause
malfunction.
• The digital camera is not intended
for business use.
Do not use benzine, thinner or
alcohol for cleaning the digital
camera.
• The camera body may be deformed
and the surface finish may peel off.
• Before cleaning the camera, detach
the battery.

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.
