• For storing or transporting the digital
camera, place it in a bag or case
lined with soft pads so as to prevent
the coating on the camera body
from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the card
out, and remove batteries.
• If the batteries are left in the digital
camera for a long time, the voltage
drops excessively, and the batteries
will not function even after they are
recharged.
ª Optimal Use of Batteries
• Do not throw batteries into fire
because it may cause an explosion.
Always keep the terminals of
batteries clean.
Prevent the terminals from getting
clogged with dirt, dust, or other
substances.
If you drop the batteries accidentally,
check to see if batteries body and
terminals are deformed. Attaching a
deformed battery to the digital
camera may damage the camera.
ª Condensation
When the condensation has
taken place:
Set the power switch to [OFF] and
leave the digital camera in this
condition for about 1 hour. When
the camera becomes close to the
ambient temperature, the fog
disappears naturally.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the digital camera,
take the card out and remove the
batteries.
Store all the components in a dry
place with a relatively stable
temperature.
(Recommended temperature:59 to
77 F (15 to 25
oC), Recommended
humidity:40 to 60 %)
Digital camera
• Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent
dust from getting into the camera.
• Do not leave the camera in places
that expose it to high temperature.
Batteries
• Extremely high or low temperatures
will shorten the life of batteries.
• If the batteries are kept in smoky or
dusty places, the terminals may rust
and cause malfunctions.
• 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.
• Store the batteries in a completely
discharged state. To store the
batteries for a long period of time,
we recommend you charge them
once every year and store them
again after you completely use up
the charged capacity.
Card
• When the card is being read, do not
remove the card, turn off the power,
or subject it to vibration or impact.
• 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 or the recorded content may
be damaged.
• After use, be sure to remove the
card from the digital camera.
• Do not touch the terminals on the
back of the card with your fingers.
Do not allow dirt, dust or water to
enter it.
