• This camera is neither waterproof nor splashproof. Inserting or removing batteries or the memory

card, or operating the camera with wet hands may damage the camera.

• When at the beach or near water, take care not to expose the camera to water or sand. Water,

sand, dust, or salt can damage the camera.

• Do not leave the camera under direct sunlight. Do not point the lens directly at the sun; the CCD

• Keep the camera away from electromagnetic fields from devices such as magnets or motors.

• If the camera or the outside of the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, clean, dry cloth. If the

camera or lens comes in contact with sand, gently blow away loose particles. Wiping may scratch
the surface.

• To clean the lens surface, first blow away any dust or sand, then gently wipe the lens with a cloth

or tissue designed for optics. Use lens-cleaning fluid if necessary.

• Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.
• Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.

disuse, store the camera in an airtight container with a silica-gel drying agent.
