Storage
: To prevent mold or mildew,
store the camera in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area. If you are
using an AC adapter, unplug the
adapter to prevent fire. If the prod-
u c t w i l l n o t b e u s e d f o r a n
extended period, remove the bat-
tery to prevent leakage and store
the camera in a plastic bag contain-
ing a desiccant. Do not, however,
store the camera case in a plastic
bag, as this may cause the material
to deteriorate. Note that desiccant
gradually loses its capacity to
absorb moisture and should be
replaced at regular intervals.
To prevent mold or mildew, take
the camera out of storage at least
once a month. Turn the camera on
and release the shutter a few times
before putting it away.
Store the battery in a cool, dry
place. Replace the terminal cover
before putting the battery away.
Notes on the monitor
: The monitor is
constructed with extremely high
precision; at least 99.99% of pixels
are effective, with no more than
0.01% being missing or defective.
Hence while these displays may
contain pixels that are always lit
(white, red, blue, or green) or
always off (black), this is not a mal-
function and has no effect on
images recorded with the device.
Images in the monitor may be diffi-
cult to see in a bright light.
Do not apply pressure to the dis-
play, as this could cause damage or
malfunction. Dust or lint on the dis-
play can be removed with a blower.
Stains can be removed by wiping
lightly with a soft cloth or chamois
leather. Should the monitor break,
care should be taken to avoid
injury from broken glass and to
prevent liquid crystal from the dis-
play touching the skin or entering
the eyes and mouth.
Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun
:
Do not leave the lens pointed at
the sun or other strong light source
for an extended period. Intense
light may cause the image sensor
to deteriorate or produce a white
blur effect in photographs.
Moiré
: Moiré is an interference pat-
tern created by the interaction of
an image containing a regular,
repeating grid, such as the pattern
of weave in cloth or windows in a
building, with the camera image
sensor grid. In some cases, it may
appear in the form of lines. If you
notice moiré in your photographs,
try changing the distance to the
subject, zooming in and out, or
changing the angle between the
subject and the camera.
Lines
: Noise in the form of lines may
in rare cases appear in pictures of
extremely bright or backlit sub-
jects.
