• Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, close to equipment that
produces strong magnetic fields, or in areas subject to extremes of temperature, for example
near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a hot day.
• To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the
camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again.
• Store the battery in a cool, dr y place.
• Before storing EN-4 battery packs that have been removed from the camer a, replace the
cover that protects the terminals used for connection to a recharger.
Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a
characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitor s and does not indicate a malfunction. Im-
ages recorded with the camer a will not be affected.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or
lint adhering to the monitor can be removed with a blower brush. Stains can be removed by
rubbing the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
• Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to
prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
• Replace the monitor co ver
when transpor ting the camera
or leaving it unattended.
• Do not touch the batter y terminals with other metal objects. Keep the battery terminals
clean.
Turn the product off before removing the battery or unplugging the AC adapter
Do not unplug the product or remove the batter y while the camera is on, or while images are
being recorded or deleted from memory. Forcibly cutting power to the product in these
circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the internal circuitry or memory. To
prevent an accidental interruption of power, avoid carrying the product from one location to
another while the AC adapter is connected.
Keep a fully-charged spare battery on hand
Ready a spare battery and keep it fully charged when taking photographs on important occa-
sions. Depending on your location, you may find it difficult to purchase replacement batter ies
on shor t notice.
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is fully charged
before taking photogr aphs outside in cold weather. Keep a spare battery in a war m place and
exchange the two as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
