Your camera is designed for use under the 
temperatures between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 
104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places 
that exceed this range is not recommended.

[

If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a 
warm location, moisture may condense inside or 
outside the camera. This moisture condensation 
may cause a malfunction of the camera.
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the 
moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to 
shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you 
will be unable to record clear images.

This camera has an internal rechargeable battery 
for maintaining the date and time and other 
settings regardless of whether the power is on or 
off.
This rechargeable battery is continually charged 
as long as you are using the camera. However, if 
you use the camera for only short periods, it 
discharges gradually, and if you do not use the 
camera at all for about one month it becomes 
completely discharged. In this case, be sure to 
charge this rechargeable battery before using the 
camera.
However, even if this rechargeable battery is not 
charged, you can still use the camera as long as 
you do not record the date and time.
Charging method of the internal 
rechargeable backup battery
Insert charged battery pack in the camera, and 
then leave the camera for 24 hours or more with 
the power off.
