Care to be Taken During Handling
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol benzene.
• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care should
be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be avoided.
Remove from case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from
becoming moldy during storage.
• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liq-
uid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should the camera
get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid, wipe it off immediately with a
dry soft cloth.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure.
Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the
vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.
• The liquid crystal display will become black at temperatures of approximately 60°C
but will return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.
• The display response speed of the liquid crystal becomes slow at low temperatures
but this is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.
• Remove dust from the lens viewfinder using a blower or clean off dust using a lens
brush.
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high-perfor-
mance.
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, please, without fail, try out the
camera to confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important
pictures (such as at a wedding or during travelling). No guarantee can be given with
regards to collateral damage (costs incurred as a result of taking pictures, loss of
benefits that were to be obtained through taking pictures) that may cause this product
to fail.
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, drops of water appear on
the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic
bag, and take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C.
• Take care to ensure that garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. do not
enter within the camera, as this may cause the camera to become damaged. If rain
or drops of water get onto the camera, please wipe dry.
• Please refer to “Precautions When Using a CF Card” (p.15) regarding the
CompactFlash CF card.
