Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions

Do not drop: The product may malfunction if subjected to

strong shocks or vibration.

Keep dry: This product is not waterproof, and may malfunc-

tion if immersed in water or exposed to high levels of hu-

midity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irrepa-

rable damage.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sudden changes in tem-

perature, 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 carry-

ing case or plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes

in temperature.

Keep away from strong magnetic ﬁ elds: Do not use or store this

device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong

electromagnetic radiation or magnetic ﬁ elds. Strong static

charges or the magnetic ﬁ elds produced by equipment

such as radio transmitters could interfere with the moni-

tor, damage data stored on the memory card, or aﬀ ect the

product’s internal circuitry.

Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun: Do not leave the lens

pointed at the sun or other strong light source for an ex-

tended period. Intense light may cause the image sensor to

deteriorate or produce a white blur eﬀ ect in photographs.

Blooming: Vertical white streaks may appear in photographs

of the sun or other strong light sources. This phenomenon,

known as “blooming,” can be prevented by reducing the

amount of light that falls on the image sensor, either by

choosing a slow shutter speed and small aperture or by us-

ing an ND ﬁ lter.

Do not touch the shutter curtain: The shutter curtain is extremely

thin and easily damaged. Under no circumstances should

you exert pressure on the curtain, poke it with cleaning

tools, or subject it to powerful air currents from a blower.

These actions could scratch, deform, or tear the curtain.

Handle all moving parts with care: Do not apply force to the bat-

tery-chamber, card-slot, or connector covers. These parts

are especially susceptible to damage.

Turn the product oﬀ before removing or disconnecting the power

source: Do not unplug the product or remove the battery

while the product is on or while images are being recorded

or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances

could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory

or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption

of power, avoid carrying the product from one location to

another while the AC adapter is connected.

Lens contacts: Keep the lens contacts clean.

Cleaning: When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to

gently remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry

cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe

oﬀ any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in pure

water and then dry the camera thoroughly. In rare instances,

static electricity may cause the LCD displays to light up or go

dark. This does not indicate a malfunction, and the display

will soon return to normal.

The lens and mirror are easily damaged. Dust and lint should

be gently removed with a blower. When using an aerosol

blower, keep the can vertical to prevent discharge of liquid.

To remove ﬁ ngerprints and other stains from the lens, apply

a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the

lens carefully.

See “ The Low-Pass Filter” (

125) for information on clean-

ing the low-pass ﬁ lter.

Storage: To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry,

well-ventilated area. If the product will not be used for an

extended period, 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.

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 it away.

Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Replace the terminal

cover before putting the battery away.

Notes on the monitor: The monitor may contain a few pixels

that are always lit or that do not light. This is common to all

TFT LCD monitors and does not indicate a malfunction. Im-

ages recorded with the product are unaﬀ ected.

Images in the monitor may be diﬃ cult to see in a bright

light.

Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause

damage or malfunction. Dust or lint on the monitor can be

removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by wiping

lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Should the moni-

tor break, care should be taken to avoid injury from broken

glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touch-

ing the skin or entering the eyes and mouth.

Replace the monitor cover when transporting the camera or

leaving it unattended.
