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.

The LCD display on this camera is manufactured with sophisticated technology,
and more than 99.99% of the pixels on the LCD display meet standard
specifications. Yet, it is possible that less than 0.01% of the pixels on the LCD
display may have some light spots or show unusual colors. This is normal and
does not indicate display malfunction, nor will this affect the pictures you take with
the camera.
The LCD monitor looks darker in strong sunlight or bright light. This is not a
malfunction.
To prevent your images from being blurred while pressing the shutter button,
always hold the camera steady. This is especially important when you are shooting
under low lighting conditions, under which your camera may reduce the shutter
speed to ensure your images are properly exposed.
