CAUTIONS

Observe and exercise the following cautions to avoid damage and keep your

camera in an optimum working status.

• Keep Dry

This camera is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water,

or any liquids enter the interior of the camera

• Keep away from Moisture, Salt or Dust

Wipe off salt or dust with a slightly dampened soft cloth after using your

camera at the beach or seaside, then, dry your camera thoroughly.

• Keep away from Strong Magnetic Fields

Never put the camera too close to any equipment producing strong

electromagnetic fields, such as electric motor. Strong electromagnetic fields

could lead to camera malfunctions or interfere with the data recording.

• Avoid Intense Heat

Do not use or store the equipment under sunlight or high temperatures.

Such exposure could lead to the leakage of the batteries or deformation of

the casing.

• Avoid rapid temperature changes

Rapidly moving the equipment between hot and cold temperatures may

cause water droplets to form on its exterior and interior. To prevent conden-

sation, place the equipment in its carry case or a plastic bag before exposing

it to a rapid temperature change.

• Do not drop

Strong shock or vibration of dropping could cause malfunction. Keep the

strap around your wrist when carrying the camera.

• Do not unplug or remove the battery when processing data

When image data is being recorded or deleted from memory cards, cutting

off power could result in data loss or damage the internal circuitry or mem-

ory.

• Handle the lens and all moving parts with care

Do not touch the lens or lens barrel. Be careful in handling the memory card

and battery. These parts are not designed to withstand force greater than

regular use.

• Battery

In low temperature circumstances, the battery’s capacity may decrease sig-

nificantly due to the inactive chemical reaction. When taking pictures in cold

weather, keep a warm backup battery on hand.

Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them with a dry, clean cloth

or use an eraser to remove the stains.

• Memory cards

Turn off the power before inserting or removing the memory card.

Otherwise, the memory card could become unstable.
