Caring for the Camera and Battery
Keep dry
This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if
immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity.
Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable
damage.
Keep free of salt, sand, and dust
After using your camera at the beach or seaside, wipe
off any sand or salt with a lightly dampened cloth and
then dry your camera thoroughly.
Do not touch the lens with your fingers
Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the
lens. To remove fingerprints or smudges from the
lens’ surface, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens
tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens
cleaner.
Handle the lens cover and all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens or to the battery or lens
covers. These parts are especially susceptible to
damage.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong
shocks or vibration.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of
equipment that generates strong electromagnetic
radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or
the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as
radio transmitters could affect the product’s internal
circuitry.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when
entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation inside the device. To prevent
condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a
plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in
temperature.

Batteries
•When you turn the device on, check the battery-level
displayed in the LCD panel to determine whether the
battery needs to be replaced. The battery needs to
be replaced the low battery power indicator appears
in the LCD panel.
•Ready a spare battery when taking pictures on
important occasions. Depending on your location,
you may find it difficult to purchase replacement
batteries on short notice.
• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to
decrease. Use a fresh battery at low temperatures.
Keep a spare battery in a warm place and exchange
the two as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery
may recover some of its charge.
•Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them
off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
Storage
•To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry,
well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the
product for a long period of time, remove the battery
to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic
bag containing a desiccant. Do not, however, store
the camera case in a plastic bag, as this may cause
the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant
gradually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and
should be replaced at regular intervals.
•Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor
moth balls, close to equipment that produces strong
magnetic fields, or in areas subject to extremes of
temperature, for example near a space heater or in a
closed vehicle on a hot day.
•To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of
storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on
and release the shutter a few times before putting
the camera away again.
•Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
