• The battery may become hot after extended use. Touching the battery
immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.
• If the picture display or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become
washed out and images may become hard to view.
• The picture display and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain
lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven
because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.
• Do not forcefully press the surface of the picture display.
• In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation
may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass
surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a
bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the
bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased
to a fairly small amount. If condensation occurs, remove the battery and
memory card, and wait until the moisture has dried before using the camera.
• To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera’s
microphone or speaker holes.
• Do not get the camera wet. Do not operate the camera with wet hands. This
can result in malfunction or an electrical shock.
• Before taking any important pictures (such as at weddings, on trips abroad,
etc.), test the camera to check operation and ensure proper functioning. We
recommend that you keep this manual and spare battery on hand.
Conditions in which condensation may easily occur: -----------------------
• When the camera is moved to an environment where the temperature differs greatly.
• In humid places.
• In a room immediately after being heated, or when the camera is exposed
directly to cooled air from an air-conditioner or another similar appliance.
