Follow these guidelines when using your camera:
nKeep camera away from high temperatures, excessive
humidity, direct sunlight, dust, or excessive vibration.
nDo not use camera outdoors if it is raining or snowing.
n
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.
