Before Use
About the Lens
Do not press the lens or the lens barrel
with excessive force.
Do not leave the camera with the lens
facing the sun as it may cause the
camera to malfunction. Also, be careful
when you leave the camera outside or
near a window.
About Condensation (When the lens
is fogged up)
Condensation occurs when the ambient
temperature or humidity changes
as described below. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens stains,
fungus and camera malfunction.
– When the camera is taken from the
cold outdoors to the warm indoors
– When the camera is taken from outside
to inside an air-conditioned car
– When cool wind from an air conditioner
etc. blows directly on the camera
– In humid places
To prevent condensation, put the camera
in a plastic bag until the temperature
of the camera is close to the ambient
temperature. If condensation occurs,
turn the camera off and leave it for
about 2 hours. The fog will disappear
naturally when the temperature of the
camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.

When not using the camera for a long
period of time
Store the batteries in a cool and dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15 °C to 25 °C,
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
Always remove the batteries and the card
from the camera.
If the batteries are left inserted in the
camera they will discharge as a weak
electric current passes through them
even if the camera is turned off. [Read
for information about Ni-MH (nickel
metal hydride) batteries.]
We recommend storing the camera with
a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it
in a closet or a cabinet.
