About this manual

Every effort has been made to ensure that the contents of this

manual are correct and up to date. However, no guarantee is made

regarding the accuracy of the contents. If the contents of this

manual do not tally with the camera, please take the camera as a

criterion. We reserve the right to change the contents of this

manual and specifications of the product without prior notice.

If the accessories do not tally with the actual package, please take

the actual package as the criterion.

transmitted, transcribed, stored in a retrieval system or translated

into any language or computer language, in any form or by any

means, electronic, mechanical, magnetic, optical, manual or

otherwise, without the prior written permission of the

manufacturer.

Precautions

General precautions

Do not use or store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas,

as its components may be damaged.

Do not store the product in a hot environment. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage

batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product

warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside;

this may damage the electronic circuits.

Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.

High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric

shock when exposed.

Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may

damage the internal components.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong

detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a

slightly damp soft cloth.

Do not fire the white LED light while it is too close to the

subject's eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye

damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. When using the

white LED light, the camera should be at least one meter from

the eyes of the subject.

Do not open the battery cover while an image is being

recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current

image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already

stored in file.

If the product or any of its accessories are not working

properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center.

The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange

for the product to be repaired.

vii

Test for proper operation before using the camera.

Notes on the LCD Screen

Caution must be observed when dealing with the fluid contained in

the LCD. Ensure that fluid does not leak if the screen becomes

cracked or damaged. If this occurs, follow these steps:

If the fluid makes contact with skin, wipe it with a clean cloth

then rinse with a large amount of water.

If the fluid makes contact with eyes, wash eyes with clean

water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical

attention.

If the fluid is swallowed, first rinse mouth with water, then

drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting. Seek

immediately medical attention.

Operation conditions

This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from

0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas:

- In areas subject to direct sunlight

- In areas subject to high humidity or dust

- Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to

temperature extremes

- Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun.

- In areas subject to strong vibration

Power supply

Use only the type of battery that came with your camera.

Using any other type of battery may damage the equipment

and invalidate the warranty.

viii

Make sure that the battery is inserted correctly. Inserting the

battery incorrectly can cause damage to the product and

possibly start a fire.

Remove the battery to avoid the fluid leakage if the camera is

not going to be used for a long time.

If the battery is crushed or damaged, remove it immediately to

avoid battery fluid leakage and abnormal expansion.

Before You Start

compensation will be given for it.

cases, you cannot record any live performance, improvisation or

exhibits, even for personal purposes. Any transfer of pictures or

memory card data must be conducted under the constraints of
