Usage cautions and notes
When in use
Camera may become warm if used for long periods of time, but this is not a fault.
Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave
ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
If you use this unit on top of or near a TV, the pictures and/or sound on this unit may be disrupted
by electromagnetic wave radiation.
Do not use this unit near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the
pictures and/or sound.
Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created
by speakers or large motors.
Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect this unit,
disturbing the pictures and/or sound.
If this unit is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn
this unit off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (supplied). Then reinsert the battery
or reconnect AC adaptor and turn this unit on.
Do not use this unit near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and/or sound may
be adversely affected.
Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.
Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can cause surface
damage or coating to peel).
Never leave the camera and the battery in a car or on a car hood in the summer.
It may cause leakage of the battery electrolyte, a generation of heat, and may cause a fire and the
battery to burst due to the high temperature.
Caring for your camera
To clean your camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and wipe with
a soft, dry cloth.
Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping with a dry cloth.
Do not use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the outer casing
and finish of the camera.
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions carefully.
Do not touch the lens barrier.
When not using for a while
Turn off camera power before removing battery and card (ensure that battery is removed to prevent
damage through over-discharge).
Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.
Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in cool (15 °C
to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)) places with low humidity (40%RH - 60%RH) and no major temperature
changes.
Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again.
