INTRODUCTION Precautions General Precautions Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the camera. Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so creates the danger of serious accident. Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave maintenance and repair work up to authorized service providers.
INTRODUCTION Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera or unplug it from the wall socket while recording images. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in camera memory. Data Error Precautions Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the following creates the risk of corruption of data in camera memory.
INTRODUCTION Condensation About the camera’s backlight.... When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.
