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.
● 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 elds
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic elds. Doing so could result in loss of data or
camera malfunction.
● Do not point the lens at strong light sources for extended periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods
when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause the image sensor to
deteriorate or produce a white blur eect in photographs.
● Turn the product o before removing or disconnecting the power source
or memory card
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved
or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data
or in damage to the memory card or internal circuitry.
● N
otes about the monitor
• Monitors (including electronic viewnders) are constructed with extremely high
precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are eective, with no more than 0.01% being
missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always
lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always o (black), this is not a malfunction and has
no eect on images recorded with the device.
• Images in the monitor may be dicult to see under bright lighting.
