When storing your camera for extended periods:

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from dust and

chemicals such as moth balls. For long periods, place the camera
in an airtight container with a silica gel drying agent.

• Periodically release the camera’s shutter to keep it operating

properly.

• Before using the camera after prolonged storage, check that it is

operating properly.

STORAGE

• This camera is designed for use from -20° to 50°C (4 to 122 °F).
• Never leave your camera where it may be subjected to extreme

temperatures such as in the glove compartment of a car.

• The data panel response time will be slow at cold temperatures.

The display will temporarily darken at high temperatures, but will
be restored when the temperature normalizes.

• This camera is not waterproof or splashproof. When using the

camera in the rain, protect the camera and lens.

• Never subject the camera to extreme humidity.
• To prevent condensation from forming, place the camera in a

sealed plastic bag when bringing it from cold environment to a
warm one. Allow it to come to room temperature before removing
it from the bag.

• The low-battery indicator may appear even with fresh batteries

depending on the storage conditions. To restore camera power,
turn the camera on and off several times.

• Battery capacity decreases at colder temperatures. Keep your

camera and spare batteries in a warm inside pocket when
shooting in cold weather. Batteries will regain some of their
capacity when warmed to normal operating temperature.
