ª Condensation
When condensation has taken 
place:
Set the power switch to  [OFF] and 
leave the digital camera in this 
condition for about 1 hour. When 
the camera becomes close to the 
ambient temperature, the fog 
disappears naturally.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the digital camera, take 
the card out and detach the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place 
with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:
59 F to 77 F (15oC to 25oC), 
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
Digital camera
• Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust 
from getting into the camera.
• Do not leave the camera in places that 
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
• Do not leave the camera and the battery at 
the place where the temperature is too 
high, such as inside the car during the 
midsummer.
• Extremely high or low temperatures will 
shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty 
places, the terminals may rust and cause 
malfunctions.
• Do not allow the battery terminals to come 
in contact with metal objects (such as 
necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result 
in a short circuit or heat generation and, if 
you touch the battery in this condition, you 
may be badly burned.
• Store the battery in a completely 
discharged state. To store the battery for a 
long period of time, we recommend 
charging it once every year and storing it 
again after you completely use up the 
charged capacity.
Card 
• When the card is being read, do not 
remove the card, turn off the power, or 
subject it to vibration or impact.
• Do not leave the card in places where 
there is high temperature or direct sunlight, 
or where electromagnetic waves or static 
electricity are easily generated.
• Do not bend or drop the card. The card or 
the recorded content may be damaged.
• After use, be sure to remove the card from 
the digital camera.
• Do not touch the terminals on the back of 
the card with your fingers. Do not allow 
dirt, dust or water to enter it.
AC adaptor
• If the battery is warm, charging takes a 
longer time than normal.
• If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, 
radio reception may be disturbed. Keep 
the AC adaptor 100 cm or more away from 
radio.
• When the AC adaptor is in use, it may 
generate whirring sounds. However, this is 
normal.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the AC 
cable. (If it is left connected, a minute 
amount of current is consumed)
• Keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and 
battery clean at all times.
