SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
8
•  Insert the battery carefully as described in the 
operating instructions.
•  Before loading, always inspect the battery 
carefully for leaks, discoloration, warping, or 
any other abnormality.
•  Always unload the battery from the camera 
before storing the camera for a long period.
•  When storing the battery for a long period, 
select a cool location for storage.
•  Power consumption by the camera varies 
depending on which functions are used.
•  During the conditions described below, power 
is consumed continuously and the battery 
becomes exhausted quickly.
•  The zoom is used repeatedly.
•  The shutter button is pressed halfway 
repeatedly in shooting mode, activating 
the auto focus.
•  A picture is displayed on the monitor for 
an extended period of time.
•  Using an exhausted battery may cause the 
camera to turn off without displaying the 
battery level warning.
•  If the battery’s terminals get wet or greasy, 
camera contact failure may result. Wipe the 
battery well with a dry cloth before use.
•  Always charge a battery when using it for 
the fi rst time, or if it has not been used for a 
long period.
•  When operating the camera with battery 
power at low temperatures, try to keep 
the camera and spare battery as warm as 
possible. A battery that has run down at 
low temperatures may be restored after it is 
warmed at room temperature.
•  Before going on a long trip, and especially 
before traveling abroad, purchase extra 
batteries. A recommended battery may be 
diffi cult to obtain while traveling.
 Using the wireless LAN/
Bluetooth
®
 functions
•  Turn off the camera in hospitals and other 
locations where medical equipment is 
present.
The radio waves from the camera may 
adversely affect medical equipment, causing 
a malfunction that results in an accident. Be 
sure to disable wireless LAN/Bluetooth
®
functions in the vicinity of medical equipment 
(P. 255, 271).
•  Turn off the camera when onboard 
aircraft.
Using wireless devices onboard may hinder 
safe operation of the aircraft. Be sure to 
disable wireless LAN/Bluetooth
®
 functions 
onboard aircraft (P. 255, 271).
•  Do not use this product where it may 
interfere with nearby radar systems.
Monitor
•  Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise 
the image may become vague, resulting in 
a playback mode failure or damage to the 
monitor.
•  A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom 
of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
•  When a subject is viewed diagonally in the 
camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on 
the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will 
be less noticeable in playback mode.
•  In places subject to low temperatures, the 
monitor may take a long time to turn on or its 
color may change temporarily.
When using the camera in extremely cold 
places, it is a good idea to occasionally place 
it in a warm place. The monitor exhibiting 
poor performance due to low temperatures 
will recover in normal temperatures.
•  The monitor of this product is manufactured 
with high-quality accuracy, however, there 
may be a stuck or dead pixel on the monitor. 
These pixels do not have any infl uence 
on the image to be saved. Because of the 
characteristics, the unevenness of the color 
or brightness may also be found depending 
on the angle, but this is due to the structure 
of the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
