General Precautions
Never get the camera wet or subject it to
shock and vibration.
Always use the camera strap.
Never hold, twist, or pull on the lens. It moves
and focuses completely electronically and cannot
be focused like a traditional camera lens. It
is integrated completely with the camera and
cannot be removed.
Never force anything. If the battery, a memory
card, a compartment latch or the lens doesn't
open, do not force it. Read the instructions
or contact Media Loan. Handle the memory
cards carefully and return them to the camera
immediately after using them in a card reader.
Do not subject them to heat, magnetism,
shock, or moisture.

loaded.

tab and pull out.
Charging the Battery
This camera uses only BLM-1 lithium ion
batteries. The battery you receive should be
fully charged but when this runs out of power
plug the power cord into the charger and plug
the other end of the power cord into an electrical
outlet. Place the battery on the
charger making sure that it is
correctly oriented.
The light on the charger tells
you the status of the charging
process. Red means the
battery is still charging. Blinking
