Preventing Malfunctions
Camera
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
z Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or
other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields.
Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt
image data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
z When moving the equipment rapidly from cold to hot
temperatures, you can avoid condensation by placing the
equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it
adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from
the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, remove the memory card and
battery, and set the camera aside in room temperature to allow the
condensation to naturally evaporate before using the camera again.
Battery
z Keep the battery terminals clean at all times.
Dirty terminals may cause poor contact between the battery and
camera. Polish the terminals with a soft cotton swab before charging
or using the battery.
z
At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and
the low battery icon
(blinks red) may appear earlier than
usual.
Under these conditions, restore the battery performance by warming it
in a pocket immediately before use.
z
Do not put the battery into a pocket together with metallic
items such as a key ring.
The battery may be short circuiting.
