Caring for the Product
Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your
Safety” (
vi-ix) when using or storing the device.
The Camera
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition, do not
touch or apply force to the lens.
Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a
cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place
the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in
temperature.
Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Doing so could result in loss of data or camera
malfunction.
Do Not Point the Lens at the Sun
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources when shooting or when leaving
the camera unattended without a lens cap. Strong light sources such as sunlight are
concentrated through the lens, which may cause deformation of the internal parts of the lens or
discoloration or burn-in on the image sensor. The camera may be damaged even when the lens
is pointed toward the sun for a few seconds, particularly when the lens is in a telephoto position.
The camera may not be able to perform exposure control when the internal parts of the lens
are deformed.
Unevenness may appear in images when discoloration or burn-in occurs on the image sensor.
It is recommended that you attach the lens cap when you are not using the camera.
