Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the
cords and the cables supplied with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
•
If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the
surface finish may peel off.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.
The performance of the camera is not guaranteed in cold climates such as in ski
resorts. Operation at -10
oC is checked, but the zoom lever may get frozen and hard
to move or card/battery door and terminal cover may become hard to open when the
temperature drops rapidly, so take caution.
•
When using the camera in cold climates, place the camera inside the protective gear or
clothing to keep it warm when using it.
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery, or disconnect the power plug from
the outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry soft cloth.
• When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet
cloth, and then with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean
the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.
• When using a chemically treated cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.
• Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the LCD
monitor and it may malfunction.
• If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly darker
than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal
temperature of the camera increases.
• Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it
to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
• If there is water or dirt on the lens, wipe it off with dry soft cloth before taking a picture.
• A sound might be muffled or warped when there is water on the microphone or the speaker.
Wipe the residue after letting the water drip out from the microphone and speaker by tipping it
down, and use it after letting it dry for a while.
• Do not poke the holes of microphone and speaker with sharp points. (It may damage the
waterproof sheet inside, which may damage the waterproof performance.)

About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.
However, there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.
