Notes on the Nickel-Metal Hydride
battery

• Charge both of the supplied Ni-MH batteries

before using the camera for the first time. (

t

step 1 in“Read This First”)

• The batteries can be charged even if they are not

completely discharged. Also, even if batteries
are not fully charged, you can use the partially
charged capacity of the batteries as is.

• If you do not intend to use the batteries for a

long time, use up the existing charge and
remove them from your camera, then store them
in a cool, dry place. This is to maintain the
batteries’ functions (page 98).

• For details on the usable batteries, see page 98.

No compensation for contents of the
recording

• The contents of the recording cannot be

compensated for if recording or playback is not
possible due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media, etc.

Back up recommendation

• To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always

copy (back up) data to other medium.

Back up of the internal memory

• If you turn off the power by opening the battery

cover, etc. during the access lamp is lit, the data
in the internal memory may be corrupted. Be
sure to back up the data to avoid the potential
risk of data loss. See page 24 on how to back up
the data.

Notes on recording/playback

• This camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-

proof, nor water-proof. Read “Precautions”
(page 100) before operating the camera.

• Before you record one-time events, make a trial

recording to make sure that the camera is
working correctly.

• Be careful not to get the camera wet. Water

entering the inside of the camera may cause
malfunctions which in some cases may not be
repairable.

• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright

light. This may cause irrecoverable damage to
your eyes. Or it may cause the malfunction of
your camera.

• Do not use the camera near a location that

generates strong radio waves or emits radiation.
The camera may not be able to record or play
back properly.

• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations

may cause malfunctions.

• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it

before using the camera (page 100).

• Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to

malfunctions and an inability to record images,
this may render the recording medium unusable,
or cause image data breakdown, damage or loss.

• Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of

flash emission may cause dirt on the flash
surface to become discolored or to stick to the
flash surface, resulting in insufficient light
emission.
