Precautions

61

Before shooting, you should always take a few test shots 
and review them to see that the camera is functioning 
normally.

• Before cleaning the printer, press the on/standby 

button of the printer so that the lamp goes out, and 
unplug the power cord.

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry 

cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild 
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, 
such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the 
finish.

• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.

• To prevent accident from a short circuit, do not allow 

metal objects to come into contact with the battery 
terminals.

• Keep the batteries away from fire.
• Never expose the batteries to temperature above 60ºC, 

such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct 
sunlight.

• Keep the batteries dry.
• Do not expose the batteries to any mechanical shock.
• Do not short the terminals.
• Do not disassemble nor modify the batteries.
• Attach the batteries to electronic equipment securely.
• Please refer to the operating instruction of the 

electronic equipment for further information.

• Use only the supplied battery charger.
• To enable to charge the battery efficiently, we 

recommend charging the batteries fully in an ambient 
temperature of between 0ºC to 35ºC.

• Charge before using.
• Battery performance decreases in low-temperature 

surroundings. So, the time that the batteries can be 
used is shorter in cold places. We recommend the 
following to use longer:
– Put the batteries in a pocket to warm it up, and insert 

it in your electronic equipment immediately before 
you start taking shots.

• Have spare batteries handy for two or three times the 

expected recording time, and make trial recording 
before taking the actual recording.

• If the power may go off although the remaining 

battery time indicator indicates that the batteries have 
enough power to operate, charge the batteries fully 
again so that the indication on the remaining battery 
time indicator is correct. Note, however, that the 
correct battery indication sometimes will not be 
restored if it is used in high temperatures for a long 
time or left in a fully charged state, or the batteries are 
frequently used. Regard the remaining battery time 
indication as the approximate shooting time.

If the batteries are not to be used for a long time, do the 
following procedure once per year to maintain proper 
function.

Fully charge the battery.

Discharge on your electronic equipment.

Remove the batteries from the equipment and store 
them in a dry, cool place.

• The battery life is limited. Battery capacity drops little 

by little as you use it more and more, and as time 
passes. When the available battery time is shortened 
considerably, a probable cause is that the batteries 
have reached the end of its life. Please buy a new 
batteries.

• The battery life varies according to how it is stored and 

operating conditions and environment for each 
batteries.

Contents of the recording cannot be compensated if 
recording or playback is not made due to a malfunction 
of the batteries, etc.

You don’t have to discharge the batteries before 
recharging.
Charging while some capacity remains does not affect 
the original battery capacity.
