Maintaining System 
Performance
To maintain system performance, be sure to read the 
following.
Camera
Locations of use and storage
Using or storing the camera in any of the following 
locations may result in a malfunction. Do not use or 
store the camera in such locations. 
• Extremely hot or cold locations (operating 
temperature of 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F))
• Locations subject to prolonged periods of direct 
sunlight or near heating appliances
• Locations with excessive humidity or dust 
• Locations exposed to rain
• Locations exposed to severe vibration
• Near sources of strong magnetism
• Near sources of strong electromagnetic waves such as 
TV or radio transmitters
Heat dissipation
Do not cover the camera (such as with a cloth). Doing so 
will increase the internal temperature and may result in 
a malfunction.
Transportation
When transporting the camera, be sure to pack it in the 
supplied carton and cushioning or equivalent packaging, 
and make sure it is not subject to severe mechanical 
shocks.
Taking test pictures
Be sure to take test pictures beforehand to ensure that 
pictures can be taken normally.
Lens
Be careful not to bump into or press against the lens 
while shooting. 
Also, do not touch the lens surface.
Printer
Precautions
• If you do not intend to use the printer for a long time, 
set the printer to standby mode and disconnect the 
power cord from the outlet. 
• When transporting the printer, remove any 
accessories. Failing to do so may result in a 
malfunction.
Condensation
If the printer is moved from a location with low humidity 
to a warm location or placed in a room with a heater that 
causes steam and moisture to be generated, drops of 
water may form inside the printer. This phenomenon is 
referred to as condensation. If used in such a state, the 
printer will not work properly and may even 
malfunction. If there is a likelihood of condensation, 
turn off the power and leave the printer to stand for a 
while.
Cleaning
• Be sure to turn off the power and remove the power 
plug prior to cleaning. 
• Use a blower to remove dirt and dust from the surface 
of the camera lens. 
• Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe off dirt from the 
exterior. If the exterior is extremely dirty, use a cloth 
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution to 
wipe off the dirt and then use a dry cloth.
• Do not use volatile substances such as alcohol, 
benzine, thinner, or insecticide because doing so may 
damage the finish and erase the indications.
