Precautions :
Thank you for selecting Vivicam 3550 digital camera. Please read the instructions carefully
for a thorough understanding before taking pictures.
•
This camera is not resistant to water and should not be used outdoors in snow or rain. If
accidentally dropped in water, please quickly pour out the water. Dry it with sunlight or
an air-blower.
•
Protect it from excessive humidity. It will wet the lens and the pictures taken will be blurred.
•
Do not expose the camera to sand.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Always take it to an authorized service
facility for repair.
•
Remove the batteries if you do not expect to use the camera for 1 month or longer.
•
When storing the camera, wrap it in a piece of clean, soft cloth and place it in a cool, dry,
dust-free place. Also it should not be placed in very hot temperature conditions or under
direct sun-light.
•
The batteries may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted, exposed
to high temperature, or disposed of in fire.
•
AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH batteries can be used with this camera. It will damage the
camera if you use poor quality batteries.
•
Make sure all four batteries are fresh, unused or fully charged.
•
Ensure that battery polarities are correct when placing the batteries in the camera.
•
Batteries may feel warm after being used for some time.
•
Take care of the lens. Use special cloth to clean it.
•
Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD monitor screen or viewfinder.
•
Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm room. Try to put
the camera in a plastic bag so condensation forms on the outside of the bag.
• If the status LCD or the TFT LCD display is damaged, do not touch it.
•
Battery low detection:
When you see the battery icon blinking, you should replace the batteries with new alkaline
batteries or fully charged NiMH batteries.
If you have no such battery for replacement, you cannot use the flash strobe and you have
to turn off the LCD monitor in order to take more pictures.
• Battery life is shorter for poor quality alkaline batteries. If you always turn on the LCD
monitor and the flash strobe, you should use good quality batteries(eg. Energizer alkaline
batteries). High power NiMH rechargeable batteries (1300mAH or higher) are also
recommended.
