Before use

■Camera handling

●Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.

●The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.

Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where

water can come into contact with the camera.

●Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile

substances (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).

■

Condensation (When the lens, the LCD monitor or the viewfinder is fogged up)

●

Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of

temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens,

the LCD monitor or the viewfinder dirty, cause mould, or damage the camera.

●If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours

before using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature,

the fogging will clear naturally.

■Caring for your camera

●Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power

plug from the outlet.

●Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force.

●Do not press the lens with excessive force.

●Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long

period of time.

●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.

●Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from

the sun may cause it to malfunction.

●Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.

●While the camera is accessing the card or built-in memory (for an operation

such as picture writing, reading, deleting, or formatting), do not turn off the

camera or remove the battery, card, AC adaptor (supplied).

●The data on the built-in memory or the card may be damaged or lost due to

electromagnetic waves, static electricity or breakdown of the camera or the

card. We recommend storing important data on a PC etc.

camera only to ensure proper operation.
