Miscellaneous / 185
_ If the battery is dropped, check the housing and
the contacts for any damage. Using a damaged
battery can damage the camera.
_ Batteries have a limited service life.
_ Take damaged batteries to a collection point so
that they can be properly recycled.

explode.
For memory cards
_ Whilst a picture is being stored or the memory
card is being read, it may not be removed, the
camera turned off or exposed to vibrations.
_ Do not store the memory card where it will be
exposed to high temperatures, direct sunlight,
magnetic fields or static discharge.

could damage the card and result in loss of the
saved data.
_ Always remove the memory card, if you will not
be using the camera for a long period of time.
_ Do not touch the contacts on the back of the
memory card and keep them free of dirt, dust
and moisture.
Storage

when storing the camera.
_ You should preferably store the camera in a clo-
sed and padded container so that nothing can
damage it and it is protected from dust.

high temperatures.
