Sudden changes in temperature,
such as those that occur when
entering or leaving a heated build-
ing on a cold day, can cause con-
densation inside the device. To
prevent condensation, place the
device in a carrying case or plastic
bag before exposing it to sudden
changes in temperature.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields
:
Do not use or store this device in
the vicinity of equipment that gen-
erates strong electromagnetic radi-

static charges or the magnetic
fields produced by equipment
such as radio transmitters could
interfere with the display, damage
data stored on the memory card, or
affect the product’s internal cir-
cuitry.

ing tools. These actions could
scratch or otherwise damage the
shield.
Turn the product off before removing or
disconnecting the power source
: Do not
unplug the product or remove the
battery while the product is on or
while images are being recorded or
deleted. Forcibly cutting power in
these circumstances could result in
loss of data or in damage to prod-
uct memory or internal circuitry. To
prevent an accidental interruption
of power, avoid carrying the prod-
uct from one location to another
while the AC adapter is connected.

prevent discharge of liquid. To
remove fingerprints and other stains
from the lens, apply a small amount
of lens cleaner to a clean, soft cloth
and wipe the lens carefully.
