• If a foreign substance or water gets in your camera, please turn the power off immediately and
disconnect the batteries. Next, remove the foreign substance or water and send it to the
maintenance center.
• Whenever there is data in the internal memory or the external memory card, you should make a
backup copy to a computer or disc. So, you can have a backup solution if data loss occurs.
• If the lens cannot retract into the camera, please replace the batteries first (usually this is because
of drained batteries). Then the lens should retract automatically. If the lens still cannot retract,
please contact your dealer.
• Under no circumstances should you push the lens back manually as this may damage the camera.
• All original accessories are designed only for use with this camera model you purchased. Do not
use these accessories with other camera models or cameras of other brands to avoid
unpredictable danger or damage.
• Before initial use of a memory card, always use the camera to format the card first.
• Remember to slide the write-protect tab (if available) to the unlock position. Otherwise, all data
(if any) on the memory card is protected and the card cannot be edited or formatted.
Operating environment
• Do not use or store your camera in the environments listed below:
• Direct sunlight
• Dusty places
• Next to an air conditioner, electric heater or other heat sources
• In a closed car that is in direct sunlight
• Unstable locations
• Do not use your camera outdoors when it is raining or snowing.
• Do not use your camera in or near water.
• The camera operating temperature is between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius. It is normal for the
operating time to be shortened when the temperature is low.
• The capacity of your camera batteries will reduce each time it is charged/emptied.
• Storage at too high or low temperatures will also result in a gradual capacity loss. As a result, the
operating time of your camera may be considerably reduced.
• It is normal for the camera to become warm during operation, because the camera casing can
conduct heat.
