SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
14
• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe
shocks or vibrations.
• When mounted on a tripod, adjust the
position of the camera with the tripod head.
Do not twist the camera.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly
at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter
curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on
the image pickup device, or may possibly
cause fi res.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras
and interchangeable lenses. Remember to
attach the body cap when removing the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period,
remove the battery. Select a cool, dry location
for storage to prevent condensation or
mold from forming inside the camera. After
storage, test the camera by turning it on and
pressing the shutter release button to make
sure that it is operating normally.
• The camera may malfunction if it is used in
a location where it is subject to a magnetic/
electromagnetic fi eld, radio waves, or high
voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave,
video game, loud speakers, large monitor
unit, TV/radio tower, or transmission towers.
In such cases, turn the camera off and on
again before further operation.
• Always observe the operating environment
restrictions described in the camera’s
manual.
• Do not directly touch or wipe the image
pickup device of the camera.
• Do not expose the internal part of the camera
to direct sunlight via the eyepiece lens.
This can degrade or damage the electronic
viewfi nder.
Monitor
The display on the rear of the camera is an LCD
monitor.
• In the unlikely event that the monitor
breaks, do not put the liquid crystal in your
mouth. Any of the material adhering to your
hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off
immediately.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom
of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the
camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on
the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will
be less noticeable in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the
monitor may take a long time to turn on or its
color may change temporarily.
When using the camera in extremely cold
places, it is a good idea to occasionally place
it in a warm place. An monitor exhibiting poor
performance due to low temperatures will
recover in normal temperatures.
• The monitor is made with high-precision
technology. However, black spots or bright
spots of light may appear constantly on the
monitor.
Due to its characteristics or the angle at
which you are viewing the monitor, the spot
may not be uniform in color and brightness.
This is not a malfunction.
Lens
• Do not immerse in water or splash with water.
• Do not drop or exert strong force on the lens.
• Do not hold at the moving part of the lens.
• Do not touch the lens surface directly.
• Do not touch the contact points directly.
• Do not subject to abrupt temperature
changes.
