Appendix
. 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.
– Removing the memory card while the camera is performing some operation
– Removing the memory card while the operation lamp is lit green after turning off the
camera
– Disconnecting the USB cable while communication is in progress
– Other abnormal operations
. Operating Environment
• Operating Temperature Requirements: –5 to 40°C (23 to 104°F)
• Operating Humidity: 10 to 85% (non condensation)
• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.
– In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of moisture, dust, or sand
– Near heating or cooling devices, or in other areas subjected to extreme changes
in temperature or humidity
– Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area subjected to strong vibration
. Condensation
• Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as that which occurs when
moving from the outdoors on a cold winter day into a warm room, can cause water
droplets called “condensation” to form on interior and exterior surfaces, creating
the risk of malfunction. To prevent condensation from forming, seal the camera in a
plastic bag before changing locations. Leave the bag sealed to allow the air inside
to naturally change to the same temperature as the air in the new location. After
that, remove the camera from the bag and leave it in the new environment for a few
hours.
• Opening and closing a camera cover in an area while in a warm room or an area
where moisture is high can result in warm or moist air getting into the camera, and
clouding of the lens when shooting. This can be avoided by placing the camera,
with its covers open, along with commercially available silica gel, into a plastic bag
to dry the interior of the camera before shooting.
