Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly
e
Be sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (
➡
P.90), to ensure that you
use your camera correctly.
■
Places to Avoid
Do not store or use the camera in the following
types of locations:
h
In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.
h
In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, such as in a closed car in
summer.
h
Extremely cold places.
h
Places subject to strong vibration.
h
Places affected by smoke or steam.
h
Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as
near motors, transformers or magnets).
h
In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next
to rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.
■
Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand
The FinePix S602 ZOOM is particularly adversely
affected by water and sand. When you are at the
beach or close to water, ensure that the camera is not
exposed to water or sand. Take care also not to place
the camera on a wet surface. Water or sand inside
the camera can cause faults that may be irreparable.
■
Notes on Condensation
If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location
into a warm place, water droplets (condensation)
may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens.
When this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an
hour before using the camera. Condensation may
also form on the media. In this event, remove the
media and wait a short time before using it again.
■
When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long
period of time, remove the battery and the media
card before storing the camera.
■
Cleaning Your Camera
h
Use a blower brush to brush away any dust on
the lens, LCD monitor surface, viewfinder or
external AF sensor and then gently wipe the
camera with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling
remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning
liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper
and wipe gently.
h
Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD
monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces
are easily damaged.
h
Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not use volatile substances such as
thinners, benzine or insecticide, as these may
react with camera body and cause deformation or
remove the coating.
■
Using the Camera Overseas
When travelling overseas, do not place your camera
in the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at
airports may subject baggage to violent shocks, and
the camera may be damaged internally even when
no external damage is visible.
