Avoid
sudden
changes
in
temperature:
Sudden changes in temperature, such
as
those
that
occur
when
entering
or
leaving a heated
building
on a cold day, can cause condensation inside
the
device.
To
prevent condensation, place
the
device in a carrying case
or
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. Strong static charges
or
the
magnetic fields produced
by
equipment
such
as
radio transmitters could interfere
with
the
monitor, damage data stored
on
the
memory
card,
or
affect
the
product's internal circuitry.
Do
not
leave
the
lens
pointed
atthe
sun:
Do
not
leave the lens pointed at
the
sun
or
other
strong
light
source for
an
extended period. Intense
light
may cause
the
image sensor
to
deteriorate
or
produce a
white
blur effect in photographs.
Turn
the
product
off
before
removing
or
disconnecting
the
power
source:
Do
not
unplug
the
product
or
remove the battery while
the
product
is
on
or
while images are
being
recorded
or
deleted.
Forcibly
cutting
power in these circumstances could result in loss
of
data
or
in damage
to
product
memory
or
internal circuitry.
To
prevent an accidental
interruption
of
power, avoid
carrying
the
product
from
one location
to
another
while
the
AC
adapter
is
connected.
Cleaning:
When cleaning
the
camera body, use a
blower
to
gently
remove dust and lint,
then
wipe
gently
with
a soft,
dry
cloth. After using the camera at
the
beach
or
seaside, wipe
off
any
sand or salt using a cloth
lightly
dampened
in pure water and
then
dry
the
camera thoroughly.
The lens and mirror are easily damaged. Dust and
lint
should be
gently
removed
with
a blower.
When using an aerosol blower, keep
the
can vertical
to
prevent discharge
of
liquid.
To
remove
fingerprints and
other
stains
from
the
lens,
apply
a small
amount
of
lens cleaner
to
a soft cloth
and
wipe
the
lens carefully.
See
the
Reference
Manual (on
CD)
for
information on cleaning
the
low-pass filter.
Lens
contacts:
Keep the lens contacts clean.
Do
not
touch
the
shutter
curtain:
The shutter curtain
is
extremely
thin
and easily damaged. Under
no
circumstances should you exert pressure on
the
curtain, poke
it
with
cleaning tools,
or
subject
it
to
powerful air currents
from
a blower. These actions could scratch, deform,
or
tear
the
curtain.
Storage:
To
prevent
mold
or mildew, store
the
camera in a dry, well-ventilated area.
If
the
product
will
not
be used
for
an extended period, remove the
battery
to
prevent leakage and
store
the
camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not, however, store
the
camera
case
in a plastic bag,
as
this may cause
the
material
to
deteriorate. Note
that
desiccant
gradually loses its capacity
to
absorb moisture and should be replaced
at
regular intervals.
To
prevent
mold
or
mildew, take
the
camera
out
of
storage at least once a
month.
Turn
the
camera on and release
the
shutter a
few
times before
putting
it
away.
Store
the
battery in a cool,
dry
place. Replace
the
terminal cover before
putting
the battery
away.
