humidity, direct sunlight, dust, or excessive vibration.

nDo not use camera outdoors if it is raining or snowing.

If the lens or viewfinder become dirty, clean with a lens brush

or soft, clean cloth. Never touch the lens with your fingers.

nIf water or a foreign substance getsin the camera, turn the

camera off immediately and remove the batteries.

nDo not open the camera case or attempt your own repairs.

High-voltage internal components may create

risk of electrical

shock or fire.

Do not open the battery compartment when the camera is on.

nTransfer important images to your computer as soon as

possible to avoid losing image data.

nBe sure to replace new batteries within two (2) minutes to

avoid losing image data from SDRAM memory.

nThere is a very slight current-drain on the batteries at all

times which keeps the memory active. If you are not going to

use your camera for an extended period (i.e. a week) be sure to

download your images to your PC and also remove the

batteries to avoid possible power drain and image loss.
