Precautions
Do not use/store the camera in 
the following places
• In an extremely hot, cold or humid place
In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the 
camera body may become deformed and this 
may cause a malfunction.
• Under direct sunlight or near a heater
The camera body may become discolored or 
deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.
• In a location subject to rocking vibration
• Near strong magnetic place
• In sandy or dusty places
Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the 
camera. This may cause the camera to 
malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction 
cannot be repaired.
On carrying
Do not sit down in a chair or other place with the 
camera in the back pocket of your trousers or 
skirt, as this may cause malfunction or damage the 
camera.
On the battery pack
• Avoid rough handling, disassembling, 
modifying, physical shock, or impact such as 
hammering, dropping or stepping on the battery 
pack.
• Do not use a deformed or damaged battery pack.
On the battery charger
• Do not charge battery packs other than an NP-
BK type battery pack in the battery charger 
supplied with the camera. Batteries other than 
the specified kind may leak, overheat, or 
explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a 
risk of injury from electrocution and burns.
• Remove the charged battery pack from the 
battery charger. If you leave the charged battery 
pack in the charger, battery life may be 
shortened.
• The CHARGE lamp of the supplied battery 
charger flashes in either way:
– Fast flashing: Turns the light on and off 
repeatedly at the interval of 0.15 seconds.
– Slow flashing: Turns the light on and off 
repeatedly at the interval of 1.5 seconds. (BC-
CSKA only)
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes fast, remove 
the battery pack being charged, and then insert 
the same battery pack into the battery charger 
securely again.
When the CHARGE lamp flashes fast again, 
this may indicate a battery error or that a battery 
pack other than the specified type has been 
inserted. Check that the battery pack is the 
specified type.
If the battery pack is the specified type, remove 
the battery pack, replace it with a new one or 
another one and check if the battery charger 
operates correctly. If the battery charger 
operates correctly, a battery error may have 
occurred.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes slowly, it 
indicates that the battery charger stops charging 
temporarily on standby. The battery charger 
stops charging and enters the standby status 
automatically when the temperature is outside of 
the recommended operating temperature.
When the temperature gets back within the 
appropriate range, the battery charger resumes 
charging and the CHARGE lamp lights up 
again. We recommend charging the battery pack 
in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 
30°C (50°F to 86°F). (BC-CSKA only)
On cleaning
Cleaning the LCD screen
Wipe the screen surface with an LCD cleaning kit 
(sold separately) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the lens
Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove 
fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the camera surface
Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly 
moistened with water, then wipe the surface with 
a dry cloth. Do not use the following or they may 
damage the finish or the casing.
• Chemical products such as thinner, benzine, 
alcohol, disposable cloths, insect repellent, 
sunscreen or insecticide, etc.
• Do not touch the camera with the above on your 
hand.
• Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber 
or vinyl for a long time.
On operating temperatures
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.
