package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still 

working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a 
wedding or during traveling). Pictures cannot be guaranteed if recording, 
playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to 
a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol 

benzene.

• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not 

leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.

• Do not store the camera with preservatives and chemicals. Storage in high 

temperatures and high humidity can cause molding. Remove from case and 
store in a dry and well-ventilated location.

• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a 

cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, 
or ships.

• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The LCD display may appear black under high temperatures, but will return 

to normal as temperatures normalize.

• The LCD display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due 

to liquid crystal properties, and is not a fault.
