Storage:
To
prevent mold or mildew,
store the camera in a dry, well-ven-
tilated
area.
If
you
are
using
an
AC
adapter, unplug the adapter
to
pre-
vent fire.
If the product will not
be
used
for
an
extended
period,
remove
the
battery
to
prevent
leakage and store the camera in a
plastic
bag
containing a desiccant.
Do
not, however, store the camera
case
in a plastic bag,
as
this may
cause the material
to
deteriorate.
Note that desiccant gradually
loses
its capacity
to
absorb moisture and
should
be
replaced at regular inter-
vals.
To
prevent mold or mildew, take
the camera
out
of
storage at least
once a month. Turn the camera on
and
release
the shutter a few times
before putting
it
away.
Store
the
battery
in a cool,
dry
place. Replace the terminal cover
before putting the battery
away.
Notes
on
the
monitor:
The
monitor
is
constructed
with
extremely high
precision; at least
99.99o/o
of
pixels
are effective,
with
no more than
0.01
°/o
being missing or defective.
Hence
while
these displays may
contain pixels
that
are always
lit
(white,
red,
blue,
or
green)
or
always
off
(black), this
is
not a mal-
function
and
has
no
effect
on
images recorded with the device.
Images
in the monitor may
be
diffi-
cult
to
see
in a bright light.
Do
not
apply pressure
to
the dis-
play,
as
this could
cause
damage or
malfunction.
Dust
or
lint
on
the
display
can be
removed
with
a
blower. Stains
can
be removed by
wiping lightly with a soft cloth or
chamois leather. Should the moni-
tor
break,
care
should
be
taken
to
avoid injury from broken
glass
and
to
prevent liquid crystal from
the
display touching the skin or enter-
ing the
eyes
and mouth.
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.
Moire:
Moire
is
an
interference pat-
tern created by the interaction
of
an
image
containing
a regular,
repeating grid,
such
as
the pattern
of
weave in
cloth
or windows in a
building,
with
the
camera image
sensor grid.
In
some
cases,
it
may
appear in the form
of
lines.
If
you
notice moire
in your photographs,
try
changing
the
distance
to
the
subject,
zooming
in and out,
or
changing the angle between
the
subject and the camera.
Lines:
Noise in the form
of
lines may
in rare
cases
appear in pictures
of
extremely
bright
or
backlit
sub-
jects.
