F. Using Your Camera Abroad

G. Cautions on Use

• Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.
• Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it consecutively more than

necessary.

• Do not fire the flash near eyes, or view the sun or other strong light directly through the view-

finder. It could cause visual impairment (particularly for infants).

• Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.
• The batteries may become hot after extended use. Touching the batteries immediately after

use could result in burns to your fingers.

• If the LCD monitor or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become washed out and images

may become hard to view. 

• The LCD monitor and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain lit up continually in

part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven because of the characteristics of
LCDs. These are not failures.

• While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other objects.
• In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation may occur in the

camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass surface or malfunctions of the cam-
era. If this occurs, place the camera in a bag to slow the temperature change as much as pos-
sible. Take it out of the bag after the temeperature difference from the atmosphere has
decreased a fairly small amount.

Conditions in which condensation may easily occur:

• When the camera is moved to an environment where the temperature differs greatly.
• In humid places
• In a room immediately after being heated, or when the camera is exposed directly to cooled air 

from an air-conditioner or another similar appliance.

The AC Adapter

• Can be used in regions with a current of 120V, 50Hz/60Hz.
• If you are going to travel to a country that uses a different shaped wall outlet/plug, please consult your travel agent on a plug Adapter

suitable for wall outlets in your country of destination.

The Warranty

• This product is for domestic use. The warranty is only valid domestically.
• In the unlikely event that a failure or breakdown should occur while abroad, please be aware there is no after-sales service or compensa-

tion for repairs.

Using Playback on a Television in other Regions

• Playback is possible on televisions (or monitors) equipped with a video input terminal. Please use the video cable provided.
• This camera is compatible with both NTSC and PAL television formats. Switch the video format on the camera to match the television

environment in the region.

• When you go overseas, set your camera to the local video format.
