䡲
This camera is built with precision electric parts. To avoid
malfunctioons or mechanical problems, do not use or store the
camera in the following places:
• Places exposed to direct sunlight (a beach in summer, for
example).
• Places exposed to excessive heat, humidity, or extreme
variations of temperature and humidity.
• Places exposed to sand or dust.
• Near a fire.
• Near any volatile materials.
• Near a heater, cooler, or humidifier.
• Places exposed to excessive moisture.
• Places exposed to vibrations.
• Inside a car.
• Near magnetic field.
䡲
Do not shake or shock the camera.
䡲
Do not leave the camera with its lens pointing towards direct
sunlight. This will damage the lens.
䡲
Do not leave the camera unused for a long period of time. This
may cause battery leakage. In addition this can lead to problems
including the growth of mold in the camera. Before using the
camera, press the shutter release button to check operation.
䡲
Do not turn the camera when it is mounted on a tripod.
䡲
Do not touch any of the camera’s internal parts.
䡲
Do not use the flash for extended periods as this can cause the
flash to become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash when it
is hot.
HANDLING
䡲
This camera uses four AA alkaline batteries. AA NiCd batteries
or AA nickel hydrocloride batteries or AA lithium batteries can
also be used, but the battery check function will not function
correctly.
䡲
Do not use 3 V manganese batteries. Besides shortening
battery life, manganese batteries may overheat and damage
the camera.
䡲
Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use of batteries can cause
fluid leak, heat generation, or other damage. When replacing
batteries, be sure to load them correctly.
䡲
The batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to
cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries warm
when using the camera in a cold environment. Batteries that
are weak in cold temperatures will be restored under normal
temperatures.
䡲
Sweat, oil, and so on, can prevent a battery’s terminals from
making electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals
before loading battery.
䡲
Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New
batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.
䡲
When you use NiCd batteries and nickel hydrocloride batteries,
make sure they have all been fully charged in the same battery
charger.
䡲
Use NiCd batteries and nickel hydrocloride batteries only after
having carefully read the instructions accompanying them.
