If the product is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the product.
This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the product.
To prevent moisture condensation when you bring the product directly from a cold to a warm location, first put it in a
plastic bag and seal it to prevent air from entering. Wait for about an hour until the temperature of the product has
reached the ambient temperature.
If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the product and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if
you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
Precaution on carrying
Do not hold, hit, or apply excessive force to the lens part.
Notes on handling the product
Before you connect the cable to the terminal, be sure to check the orientation of the terminal. Then, insert the cable
straight. Do not insert or remove the cable forcefully. This may cause the terminal part to break.
The camera uses magnetic parts including magnets. Do not bring objects affected by magnetism, including credit
cards and floppy disks, close to the camera.
Notes on handling the Power & Control Cable
When inserting or removing the DC plug, hold the connector. Applying excessive force may break the wire.
When pulling out the connector (Molex Micro-Fit 3.0) from the camera, be sure to unlock the connector before pulling
it out.
When not using the Focus, Trigger, and Exposure signal lines, protect them with insulating tapes, etc. to prevent short
circuits. Also, when using these signal lines, either protect them with insulating tape or be careful with the routing to
prevent short circuits.
On storing
Always attach the lens front cap or body cap when you are not using the camera. To prevent dust or debris from
getting inside the camera, remove dust from the body cap before attaching it to the camera.
If the camera is dirty after use, clean it. Water, sand, dust, salt, etc. left in the camera may cause a malfunction.
Notes on using lenses
When replacing the lens, make sure that the camera operates correctly by confirming the screen of the external
monitor.
When using the power zoom lens, be careful not to get your fingers or any other objects caught in the lens.
If you must place the camera under a light source such as sunlight, attach the lens cap to the camera.
If sunlight or a strong light source enters the camera through the lens, it may focus inside the camera and cause
smoke or fire. Attach the lens cap to the lens when storing the camera. When you shoot with backlighting, keep the
sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Note that smoke or fire may occur even if the light source is slightly
away from the angle of view.
Do not directly expose the lens to beams such as laser beams. These may damage the image sensor and cause the
camera to malfunction.
If the subject is too close, the image may show any dust or fingerprints on the lens. Wipe the lens with a soft cloth,
etc.
Notes on the image sensor
If you point the camera at an extremely strong light source while shooting images with a low ISO sensitivity, highlighted
areas in the images may be recorded as black areas.
On image data compatibility
This product conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standard established by JEITA (Japan
