ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the digital camera, take
the card out and detach the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:
59
oF to 77oF (15oC to 25oC),
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.
Battery
• Do not leave the camera and the
battery at the place where the
temperature is too high, such as inside
the car during the summer.
• Extremely high or low temperatures
will shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is 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 battery in a completely
discharged state. To store the battery
for a long period of time, we
recommend charging it once every
year and storing it 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.
AC adaptor
• If the battery is warm, charging takes a
longer time than normal.
• If you use the AC adaptor near a radio,
radio reception may be disturbed.
Keep the AC adaptor 100 cm or more
away from radio.
• When the AC adaptor is in use, it may
generate whirring sounds. However,
this is normal.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the
AC cable. (If it is left connected, a
minute amount of current is
consumed.)
• Keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor
and battery clean at all times.
ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens
Ring
LCD monitor
• In a place with drastic temperature
changes, condensation may form on
the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry
cloth.
• If the digital camera is extremely cold
when you turn the power on, the
image on the LCD monitor is slightly
darker than usual at first. However, as
the internal temperature increases, it
goes back to the normal brightness.
Extremely high precision technology
is employed to produce the LCD
monitor screen featuring a total of
approximately 114,000 pixels. The
result is more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the
pixels inactive or always lit. However,
this is not a malfunction and does
not affect the recorded picture.
