<Storing the Camera>
• Do not place the camera in places that may be exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time
(the beach in summer, a closed car under bright sun, etc.). Such high temperatures may cause adverse
affects or damage to the camera, batteries, or memory cards.
• Remove the battery pack before storing the camera for extended periods of time, to prevent battery leakage
and resulting damage.
<LCD Monitor>
• Due to the innate characteristics of LCD panels, a few pixels may appear permanently lighted or may not light
at all. This is not a malfunction, and does not affect the recorded image in any way.
• The LCD monitor may appear difficult to see in some outdoor lighting situations.
For best performance, we recommend the use of genuine Contax accessories. Contax is not
responsible for any accidents or damage caused by the use of accessories made by other
manufacturers or fashioned by the user.
This camera incorporates a safety circuit to protect its microcomputer against strong external static
electricity. Though rare, it may fail to function because this safety circuit has come into action.
In this case, turn off the camera’s power, remove the batteries, reload them and use the camera
again.
F
CAUTION
• Store the camera in a well-ventilated location, avoiding damp or dusty areas,
drawers or boxes containing mothballs, or in laboratories or other locations
where chemicals are handled. Exposure to such chemical fumes can result in
damage to the camera’s circuitry, resulting in short circuits and causing the
camera to emit smoke or catch fire.
F
CAUTION
• Rubbing or pressing strongly on the LCD monitor screen can result in damage
or malfunctions. If there is dust or dirt on the LCD monitor, blow it off with a
blower brush. Heavy soiling should be wiped off using soft cloth.
• If the LCD monitor should become broken, take precautions to prevent
personal injury from glass fragments.
• If the LCD monitor breaks and its liquid contacts your skin, quickly wipe away
any remaining liquid and wash the skin with soap and water. If the liquid
should enter the eyes, wash with clean running water for at least 15 minutes,
then seek medical attention immediately.
