Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
The Camera and Lens
Do not drop: The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.
Keep dry: This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water or
exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause
irreparable damage.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sudden changes in temperature, such as
occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation
inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or plastic
bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields: Do not use or store this device in the vicinity
of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong
static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters
could interfere with the monitor, damage data recorded on the memory card, or affect the
product’s internal circuitry.
Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun: Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun or
other strong light source for an extended period. Intense light may cause the image
sensor to deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.
Do not touch the shutter curtain: The shutter curtain is extremely thin and easily
damaged. Under no circumstances should you exert pressure on the curtain, poke it with
cleaning tools, or subject it to powerful air currents from a blower. These actions could
scratch, deform, or tear the curtain.
Handle all moving parts with care: Do not apply force to the battery-chamber, card-
slot, or connector covers. These parts are especially susceptible to damage.
Lens contacts: Keep the lens contacts clean.
Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source: Do not
unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on or while images are
being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in
loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental
interruption of power, avoid carrying the product from one location to another while the
AC adapter is connected.
Cleaning: When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove dust and lint,
then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside,
wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in pure water and then dry the
camera thoroughly.
The lens and mirror are easily damaged. Dust and lint should be gently removed with a
blower. When using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent discharge of
liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains from the lens, apply a small amount of lens
cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.
