Caring for the Camera and Battery:
Cautions
Cautions: Using the Camera
● Do Not Drop
Do not dr
op the camera or lens or subject them to blows. The product may malfunction if subjected
to strong shocks or vibration.
● Keep Dry
Keep the camera dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism caused by water inside the camera can not
only be expensive to repair but can in fact cause irreparable damage.
● Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Taking the camera from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa may cause damaging
condensation inside and outside the camera. Place the camera in a sealed bag or plastic case before
taking it across a temperature boundary. The camera can be taken from the bag or case once it has
had time to adjust to the new temperature.
● Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could
interfere with the monitor, corrupt data stored on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal
circuitry.
● Do Not Leave the Lens Pointed at the Sun
Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun or other strong light sources. Intense light may damage the
image sensor or cause fading or “burn in”. Photographs taken with the camera may exhibit a white
blur effect.
● Keep Credit Cards and Other Such Magnetic Storage Devices Away from the Camera and Lens
Data stored on the device could be corrupted.
