• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries.
A recommended battery may be difficult to obtain while traveling.
• Please recycle batteries to help save our planet’s resources. When you throw away dead
batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.
• To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never leave the camera in
the places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and / or humidity are high or go through extreme changes. Direct
sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or
humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable items or explosives.
• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with weatherproof
designs, read their manuals as well.
• In places prone to strong vibrations.
• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
• When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not
twist the camera.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain
damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause fires.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses. Remember to attach
the body cap when removing the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. Select a cool, dry location
for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming inside the camera. After storage,
test the camera by turning it on and pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it
is operating normally.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera’s manual.
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a
playback mode failure or damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top / bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the
monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time to turn on or its
color may change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good
idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due
to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots
or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or
the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and
brightness. This is not a malfunction.
