¶
Clean the camera well after using it at the beach or other
locations subject to large concentrations of sand or dust. Salt air
may promote corrosion of metal components and damage or
short circuits in electronic parts, causing the camera to emit
smoke or catch fire. Sand inside the camera may result in
internal damage and operating malfunctions.
¶
If the camera is brought quickly from a cold place to a warm
room, condensation may form on the lens and internal parts.
Such condensation may result in damage or short circuits in
electronic parts, causing the camera to emit smoke or catch fire.
Whenever possible, avoid subjecting the camera to sudden
changes in temperature, and if condensation occurs, turn off the
camera power quickly and leave it off until all condensation is
gone.
¶
This camera is a precision electronic instrument, and should be
protected from impacts and falls that might cause damage to
internal parts or the shorting of circuitry.
¶
When taking the camera overseas or using it to record
important events, check its operating condition and take test
pictures beforehand to confirm proper operation.
CAUTION
¶
If camera or batteries become hot, emit smoke or a burning
smell, or display other abnormal symptoms, remove them from
the camera immediately to prevent fire. When handling the
batteries, take precautions to avoid being burned.
¶
This camera includes high-voltage circuitry; if the camera’s
electronic flash is damaged as the result of an impact or being
dropped, do not touch the internal parts of the flash since you
may receive a strong electric shock.
¶
Never attempt to disassemble or modify the camera, since you
may receive a severe electric shock.
¶
Do not operate the electronic flash at close proximity to a
person’s eyes (especially those of an infant), since eye damage
may result.
¶
Do not look through the camera directly at the sun or other
strong light source, since your eyesight may be damaged.
¶
Do attempt to take pictures while driving or walking, particularly
when looking through the viewfinder or at the LCD monitor, since
you may cause an accident.
¶
When taking pictures, remain aware of your surroundings and
what is happening around you.
WARNING
<Automatic Reset Function>
This camera may fail to operate if exposed to very strong electromagnetic waves
or static electricity. In this case, remove the batteries and reinsert them again to
reset the camera’s circuits.
<Storing the Camera>
¶
Do not place the camera in places that may be exposed to high temperatures
for extended periods of time (the beach in summer, a closed car under bright
sun, etc.). Such high temperatures may cause adverse affects or damage to
the camera, batteries, or memory cards.
¶
Remove the batteries before storing the camera for extended periods of time,
to prevent battery leakage and resulting damage.
¶
Store the camera in a well-ventilated location, avoiding damp or
dusty areas, drawers or boxes containing mothballs, or in
laboratories or other locations where chemicals are handled.
Exposure to such chemical fumes can result in damage to the
camera’s circuitry, resulting in short circuits and causing the
camera to emit smoke or catch fire.
CAUTION
<Precautions for Handling Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack>
¶
Do not allow the battery pack to come in contact with seawater,
rain, or other source of moisture, since it may emit heat or
smoke, catch fire, or expose the user to electric shock.
¶
Do not attempt to use or recharge a wet battery pack, since it
may emit heat or smoke, catch fire, or expose the user to electric
shock.
¶
Keep battery packs out of the reach of infants or small children,
to prevent injury.
¶
Do not throw battery packs or subject them to strong impacts,
since the battery may be damaged, resulting in leakage of
battery fluid.
¶
Battery packs are designed for use at normal room temperature
(20
°
C plus or minus 5
°
C). Battery capacity and usable battery
time reduced if the battery is exposed to extreme temperature
conditions such as in summer, winter, or when left in a hot car,
etc. Exposing the battery to such conditions may also shorten
the service lifetime of the battery.
¶
When not using the battery pack, store it in a dry location.
