ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the digital camera, take 
the card out and detach the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place 
with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:
59 F to 77 F (15
oC to 25oC), 
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
Digital camera
• Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent 
dust from getting into the camera.
• Do not leave the camera in places that 
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
• Do not leave the camera and the 
battery at the place where the 
temperature is too high, such as inside 
the car during the summer.
• Extremely high or low temperatures 
will shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty 
places, the terminals may rust and 
cause malfunctions.
• Do not allow the battery terminals to 
come in contact with metal objects 
(such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.). 
This can result in a short circuit or heat 
generation and, if you touch the 
battery in this condition, you may be 
badly burned.
• Store the battery in a completely 
discharged state. To store the battery 
for a long period of time, we 
recommend charging it once every 
year and storing it again after you 
completely use up the charged 
capacity.
Card 
• When the card is being read, do not 
remove the card, turn off the power, or 
subject it to vibration or impact.
• Do not leave the card in places where 
there is high temperature or direct 
sunlight, or where electromagnetic 
waves or static electricity are easily 
generated.
• Do not bend or drop the card. The 
card or the recorded content may be 
damaged.
• After use, be sure to remove the card 
from the digital camera.
• Do not touch the terminals on the back 
of the card with your fingers. Do not 
allow dirt, dust or water to enter it.
AC adaptor
• If the battery is warm, charging takes a 
longer time than normal.
• If you use the AC adaptor near a 
radio, radio reception may be 
disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 
100 cm or more away from radio.
• When the AC adaptor is in use, it may 
generate whirring sounds. However, 
this is normal.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the 
AC cable. (If it is left connected, a 
minute amount of current is 
consumed.)
• Keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor 
and battery clean at all times.
ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens 
Ring
LCD monitor
• In a place with drastic temperature 
changes, condensation may form on 
the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry 
cloth.
• If the digital camera is extremely cold 
when you turn the power on, the 
image on the LCD monitor is slightly 
darker than usual at first. However, as 
the internal temperature increases, it 
goes back to the normal brightness.
Extremely high precision technology 
is employed to produce the LCD 
monitor screen featuring a total of 
approximately 114,000 pixels. The 
result is more than 99.99% effective 
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the 
pixels inactive or always lit. 
However, this is not a malfunction 
and does not affect the recorded 
picture.
