camera.
• The camera body may be deformed
and the surface finish may peel off.
• Before cleaning the camera, detach
the battery or pull out the AC adaptor
from the electrical outlet.
• Wipe the digital camera with a soft, dry
cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe
with a cloth that is soaked in a
detergent diluted with water and
afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth.
• For storing or transporting the digital
camera, place it in a bag or case lined
with soft pads to prevent the coating
on the camera body from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the
card out, and detach the battery
or pull out the AC adaptor from
the electrical outlet.
• If the battery is left on the digital
camera for a long time, the voltage
drops excessively, and the battery will
not function even after it is recharged.

Optimal Use of the Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power is
based upon the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery becomes
shorter.
Be sure to detach the battery
after use.
Be sure to detach the battery from the
digital camera. (If it is left attached to
the digital camera, a minute amount of
current is consumed even when the
digital camera power is off) If the battery
is left attached to the digital camera for
a long time, discharge takes place. The
battery may become unusable after it is
charged.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire
because it may cause an explosion.
Always keep the terminals of the
battery clean.
Prevent the terminals from getting
clogged with dirt, dust, or other
substances.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the battery body and
terminals are deformed. Attaching a
deformed battery to the digital camera
may damage the camera.
