Safe Handling Precautions
Avoid condensation and freeze -- When moving the camera from
one extreme temperature to another, keep your camera in sealed
plastic bags to prevent condensation. Allow time for equipment to
adjust to temperature change before removing from the plastic
bag.
Avoid snow -- Be careful that snowflakes can easily scratch the lens.
To prevent camera circuits from being damaged by melting snow,
please turn off the camera and pull out the battery immediately.
Avoid dust -- Please use and store the camera in a clean
environment. When using the camera outdoors, be careful not to
allow dust or sand scratch the camera. Please use blower brush, or
lens tissue to remove dust from the lens. Never use alcohol or any
volatile liquid to clean the camera.
Avoid moisture -- Avoid using the camera in high humidity
conditions. Remove and store the battery in a dry box when not
using the camera.
Avoid shake -- Do not bang or subject the camera to strong
impacts. Do not put the extra objects attached with the camera
into the package (for example, forget to remove the quick release
plate), which will increase the possibility of lens damage when
shaking and vibration.
Never place the camera close to magnets,motors or other devices
that generate strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong
magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
Memory cards are small, thin and easy to break, so keep them in a
special box when not using and make sure the metal contacts are
clean and shiny. Avoid storing the cards with data in areas exposed
to strong magnetic fields or electromagnetic radiation or high
temperature.
Don’t charge the battery inside the camera for a long time, unplug
the external power cable when not using the camera.
Do not bump or rub the lens.
Do not use camera beyond the normal power supply range.
Do not take the camera apart or try to repair any of the electronics
yourself.
Avoid foreign objects or liquids inside the camera.
