Tips on using the Nuvis 300
Camera care tips
•Turn the camera off when not in use. This prevents accidental
release of the shutter and resulting battery drain.
•The Nuvis 300 is not a waterproof and therefore should not be
exposed to rain or saltwater. If water gets on the camera, wipe it
off with a dry cloth immediately.
•Do not subject the camera to high temperatures such as those
encountered near a heater or stove or the interior of a car during
summer.
•Store the camera in a cool, dry, clean place. Do not expose it to
chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene. Using a desiccant
during storage is recommended.
•Firing the flash repeatedly makes the battery and camera hot.
Allow enough time for them to cool off before taking pictures
again.
•Do not drop the camera or hit it against a hard surface.
•Use a dry, soft cotton cloth or commercially available blower
brush or lens cleaner to remove dirt and smudges.
•When storing the camera for a long time, remove the battery.
Also once a month, insert a battery and fire the flash several
times to reform its capacitor.
Notes on battery
•Be sure to check battery power when taking important pictures.
Carry spare batteries when traveling abroad.
•Battery power becomes less when the temperature drops below
0°C (32°F). When taking pictures at low temperatures, keep the
battery warm. Battery power will recover when the temperature
goes back to normal.
Notes on IX240 film cartridge
•Carrying spare IX240 film cartridges is recommended when
traveling abroad where the IX240 film cartridges may not
be available.
