the file management information
and does not completely delete
the built-in memory data. It may
be possible to recover (restore)
data using commercially available
software for that purpose.

When disposing of the camera or
giving it to someone else, it is
recommended that you physically

The battery used in this camera is a
rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is
affected by humidity and
temperature, and the effect
increases the more the temperature
rises or falls.
In high temperatures, the protection
function may be triggered,
preventing use.
Be sure to remove and store the
battery after use.
i
If left inside the camera, a minute
amount of current continues to
flow even if the camera is off.
Keeping the camera in this state
may cause the battery to over-
discharge, making it impossible
to use the battery even after it
has been charged.
i
The battery should be stored in a
vinyl bag to prevent metal from
contacting the terminals.
i
The battery should be stored in a
cool place free from humidity,
with as constant a temperature
as possible. (Recommended
temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C
(59 °F to 77 °F); recommended
humidity: 40 %RH to 60 %RH)
