Cautions for Use
∫ Optimal use of the camera
Take care not to drop or knock the unit 
or put a lot of pressure on it.
• Take care not to drop or knock the bag 
that you inserted the unit in as it may 
strongly shock the unit.
• A strong shock may break the lens, 
screen or outer case and cause the 
camera to malfunction.
Keep the camera as far away as possible 
from electromagnetic equipment (such 
as microwave ovens, TVs, video games 
etc.).
• 
If you use the camera on top of or near a 
TV, the pictures on the camera may be 
disrupted by electromagnetic wave 
radiation.
• Do not use the camera near cell phones 
because doing so may result in noise 
adversely affecting the pictures.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or 
pictures may be distorted, by strong 
magnetic fields created by speakers or 
large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated 
by microprocessors may adversely affect 
the camera, disturbing the pictures.
• If the camera is adversely affected by 
electromagnetic equipment and stops 
functioning properly, turn the camera off 
and remove the battery or disconnect AC 
adaptor. Then reinsert the battery or 
reconnect AC adaptor and turn the 
camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio 
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
• 
If you record near radio transmitters or 
high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures 
may be adversely affected.
Always use the supplied cords and 
cables. If you use optional accessories, 
use the cords and the cables supplied 
with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with 
insecticides or volatile chemicals.
• If the camera is sprayed with such 
chemicals, the body of the camera may be 
damaged and the surface finish may peel 
off.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic products in 
contact with the camera for a long period 
of time.
Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol 
for cleaning the camera.
• Remove the battery or disconnect the AC 
adaptor from the electrical outlet before 
wiping the camera.
• The body of the camera may be damaged 
and the surface finish may peel off.
• Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a 
soft, dry cloth.
• Use a dry, dust cloth to remove dirt and 
dust on the zoom ring, focus ring and 
aperture ring.
• Do not use a kitchen detergent or a 
chemically treated cloth.
• The camera is not waterproof. If rain water 
or other drops of water splash onto the 
camera, wipe it with a dry cloth. If the 
camera does not operate normally, 
contact the dealer or your nearest 
servicenter.
