• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:
Operation ..................0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Charge ......................0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage .....................-20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)
• Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten battery life or affect
battery performance. Always unload the batteries from the camera before storing the camera for
a long period.
• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the provided instructions.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting conditions or batteries.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase an ample supply of
extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be difficult to obtain while traveling.
• To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never leave the camera in the
places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through extreme changes. Direct
sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable items or explosives.
• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with weatherproof
designs, read their manuals as well.
• In places prone to strong vibrations.
• 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 touch electric contacts on cameras.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain
damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause fires.
• Do not push or pull severely on 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.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera’s manual.
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback
mode failure or damage to the LCD monitor.
• 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 LCD 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 LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low
temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or
bright spots of light may appear constantly on the LCD 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.
