• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:
Operation
O°C
to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Charge
O°C
to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage -20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)
• Using, charging,
or
storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten battery life or affect
battery performance. Always unload the batteries from the camera before storing the camera for
a long period.
• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the provided instructions.
• The number
of
pictures you can take may vary depending
on
the shooting conditions or batteries.
• Before going
on
a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase
an
ample supply
of
extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be difficult to obtain while traveling.
Caution for Usage Environment
• To protect the high-precision technology contained
in
this product, never leave the camera
in
the
places listed below, no matter if
in
use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through extreme changes. Direct
sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
•
In
sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable items or explosives.
•
In
wet places, such as bathrooms or
in
the rain. When using products with weatherproof
designs, read their manuals as well.
•
In
places prone to strong vibrations.
• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
• When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position
of
the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist
the camera.
• Do not touch electric contacts
on
cameras.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain
damage, color failure, ghosting
on
the CCD, or may possibly cause fires.
•
Do
not push or pull severely
on
the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. Select a cool, dry location for
storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming inside the camera. After storage, test the
camera by turning
it
on
and pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating
normally.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described
in
the camera's manual.
LCD Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting
in
a playback
mode failure or damage to the LCD monitor.
• A strip of light may appear
on
the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally
in
the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged
on
the
monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will
be
less noticeable
in
playback mode.
•
In
places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color
may change temporarily. When using the camera
in
extremely cold places,
it
is
a good idea to
occasionally place
it
in
a warm place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low
temperatures will recover
in
normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or
bright spots
of
light may appear constantly on the LCD monitor. Due to its characteristics or the
angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not
be
uniform
in
color and brightness.
This is not a malfunction.
