Camera maintenance
Other cautions
•
Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury to
yourself or others or damage to your camera.
•
Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and
prevent proper operation.
•
Turn off the camera while not in use.
•
Your camera consists of delicate parts. Avoid impacts to the camera.
•
Protect the display from external force by keeping it in the case when
not in use. Protect the camera from scratches by keeping it away
from sand, sharp implements, or loose change.
•
Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor the
image sensor or cause it to malfunction.
•
Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean your lens
with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
•
The camera may turn off if impacted from the outside. This is to
protect the memory card. Turn on the camera to use it again.
•
While you use the camera, it may heat up. This is normal and should
not affect your camera’s lifespan or performance.
•
When you use the camera in low temperatures, it may take some
time to turn on, the color may be changed temporarily, or after-
images may appear. These conditions are not malfunctions and
they will correct themselves when the camera is returned to normal
temperatures.
•
Paint or metal on the outside of the camera may cause allergies,
itchy skin, eczema, or swelling for people with sensitive skin. If
you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the camera
immediately and consult a doctor.
•
Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s
compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to improper
use may not be covered by your warranty.
•
Do not allow unqualified personnel to service the camera or attempt
to service the camera yourself. Any damage that results from
unqualified service is not covered by your warranty.
