Using Your Camera Correctly
When you use your camera, strictly observe the Safety Precautions on page 4 and the notes below.
Handling Your Camera
●
Avoid using or storing the camera in the following places:
• Places subject to humidity, dust and dirt
• Places subject to direct sunlight
• Places subject to high or low temperature
• Places filled with highly flammable gas
• Places near gasoline, benzene or paint thinner
• Places subject to strong vibrations
• Places subject to smoke or steam
• Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as electric motors, transformers or magnets)
• Places contacting chemicals such as pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products for a long period
●
Do not expose the camera to sand or dust.
The PDR-2300 is particularly sensitive to sand and dust. If the camera comes into contact with sand or
dust, not only will the camera become damaged, it will also no longer be repairable. Pay special attention
when using the camera at the beach or where sand or dust is likely to be present.
●
Condensation
Due to a sudden change in temperature, such as when you move the camera from a cold location to a warm
one, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs,
turn the camera OFF and wait an hour before using the camera. Condensation may also form on the SD
Memory Card. If this happens, remove the SD Memory Card, wipe off any condensation and wait a short
time before using it again.
