Preventing Blur To prevent blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter is released (“camera shake”), press the shutterrelease button smoothly and gently.

At the default setting of [Multi-P AUTO], the camera automatically adjusts white balance so that a white subject will appear white regardless of the color of the light source.
Note ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------• Auto white balance may not produce the desired results with scenes lacking white objects. This can be corrected using manual white balance or by adding a white object to the scene before shooting. • When options other than [Auto] or [Multi-P AUTO] are used with the flash, the final results may differ sharply from the view through the lens shown in the picture display.

Cautions on Use Camera Waterproofing • This camera conforms to the specifications for JIS/IEC waterproof grade 8 and JIS/IEC dustproof grade 6 (IP68). • Do not use underwater at depths below 3 m or for more than 60 minutes at a time. • Water may seep from the cracks in the cover after the camera has been used in the rain or washed. This however does not indicate a leak, as the camera is protected by a double casing. • The internal mechanisms of the camera are neither waterproof nor dustproof.
• Do not touch the flash and keep foreign objects away from the firing unit. Doing so can cause burns and fires. • Do not fire the flash near eyes. It could cause visual impairment (particularly for infants). • Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents. • The battery may become hot after extended use. Touching the battery immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.
Rechargeable Battery • The battery is not waterproof. Keep dry. • The DB-100 is a lithium-ion battery. • Charge the battery before use since the battery is not fully charged when it is shipped. • The characteristics of lithium batteries are such that, at cold temperatures, the performance of even fully charged cells will decrease, reducing the available shooting or playback time.
Care and Storage Care Appendices 10 118 • Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will suffer. • When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft cloth to gently dust it off. Special care should be taken for the lens barrel.
Use and Storage • Please avoid using or storing your camera in the following kinds of places, as this may damage the camera. - In high heat and humidity, or where there is severe change in temperature or humidity. - Places with a lot of dust, dirt or sand. - Places with severe vibration. - Places where it is in direct contact with vinyl or rubber products or chemicals, including mothballs or other insect repellent, for long periods of time.
