BATTERY STORAGE AND HANDLING
The camera contains sensitive components, including the battery.
Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture,
shred, microwave, incinerate or paint the camera. Do not insert foreign
objects into the battery opening on the camera. Do not use the camera
or the battery if it has been damaged—for example, if cracked,
punctured or harmed by water. Disassembling or puncturing the
battery can cause an explosion or fire.
Avoid exposing your camera and battery to very cold or very hot
temperatures. Low or high temperature conditions may temporarily
shorten the battery life or cause the camera to temporarily stop working
properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when
using the camera, as condensation may form on or within the camera.
The camera housing protects the camera and battery from water
damage. For more information, see Camera Housing. Do not turn
on your camera if it is wet. If your camera is already on, turn it
off and remove the battery immediately. Allow the camera to dry
thoroughly before using it again. Do not dry the camera or battery
with an external heat source such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.
Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact with liquid is not
covered under the warranty.
