SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
11
• If rechargeable batteries have not been
recharged within the specified time, stop
charging them and do not use them.
• Do not use batteries with scratches or damage
to the casing, and do not scratch the battery.
• Never subject batteries to strong shocks or
continuous vibration by dropping or hitting.
This may cause exploding, overheating, or
burning.
• If a battery leaks, has unusual odor, becomes
discolored or deformed, or becomes
abnormal in any other way during operation,
stop using the camera, and keep away from
fire immediately.
•
If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing
or skin, remove the clothing and flush the
affected area with clean, running cold water
immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek
medical attention immediately.
• Never use lithium-ion batteries in a low-
temperature environment. Doing so may cause
generation of heat, ignition, or explosion.
• The lithium-ion battery is designed to be used
only for the digital camera. Do not use the
battery to other devices.
•
Do not allow children or animals/pets to
handle or transport batteries (prevent
dangerous behaviour such as licking,
putting in mouth or chewing).
Use Only Dedicated Rechargeable
Battery, Battery Charger and
USB-AC adapter
We strongly recommend that you use only
the genuine rechargeable battery, battery
charger, and USB-AC adapter specified by our
company with this camera. Using a non-genuine
rechargeable battery, battery charger and/or
USB-AC adapter may result in fire or personal
injury due to leakage, heating, ignition or damage
to the battery. Our company does not assume
any liability for accidents or damage that may
result from the use of a battery, battery charger,
and/or USB-AC adapter that are not specified
genuine accessories.
CAUTION
•
Do not cover the flash with a hand while
firing.
• The included USB-AC adapter F-7AC is
designed to be used only with this camera.
Other cameras cannot be charged with this
USB-AC adapter.
• Do not connect the included USB-AC adapter
F-7AC to equipment other than this camera.
• Never store batteries where they will be
exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to
high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a
heat source, etc.
• Keep batteries dry at all times.
• The battery may become hot during
prolonged use. To avoid minor burns, do not
remove it immediately after using the camera.
• This camera uses one of our lithium-ion
batteries. Use the specified genuine battery.
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced with the incorrect battery type.
• 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.
NOTICE
•
Do not use or store the camera in dusty or
humid places.
•
Use SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards only.
Never use other types of cards.
If you accidently insert another type of card
into the camera, contact an authorized
distributor or service center. Do not try to
remove the card by force.
• Regularly back up important data to a
computer or other storage device to prevent
accidental loss.
• Our company accepts no liability for any loss
of data associated with this device.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the
camera. It could easily catch on stray objects
and cause serious damage.
• Before transporting the camera, remove a
tripod and all other accessories made by
other companies.
• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe
shocks or vibrations.
• When attaching the camera to or removing
it from a tripod, rotate the tripod screw, not
the camera.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly
at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter
curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on
the image pickup device, or may possibly
cause fires.
•
Do not leave the viewfinder exposed to a
strong light source or direct sunlight. The
heat may damage the viewfinder.
• Do not push or pull severely on the lens.
• Be sure to remove any water droplets or other
moisture from the product before replacing
the battery or opening or closing covers.
• Before storing the camera for a long period,
remove the batteries. 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 button to make sure that
it is operating normally.
