enclosed vehicle on a hot day. Failure to observe these precautions could
r
esult in product malfunction.
Long-term storage●
To prevent damage caused by, for example, leaking battery uid, remove the
battery if the product will not be used for an extended period. Store the
camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not, however, store the
leather camera case in a plastic bag, as this may cause the material to
deteriorate. Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Note that desiccant
gradually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at
regular intervals. To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage
at least once a month, insert the battery, and release the shutter a few times.
Turn the product o before removing the battery●
Removing the battery while the camera is on could damage the product.
Particular care should be taken not to remove or disconnect the power
source while images are being recorded or deleted.
Notes on the monitor●
･ The monitor is constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99%
of pixels are eective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective.
Hence while the monitor may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red,
blue, or green) or always o (black), this is not a malfunction. Images
recorded with the device are unaected. Your understanding is requested.
･ Images in the monitor may be dicult to see in a bright light.
･ Do not apply pressure to the monitor. The monitor could malfunction or
suer damage. Dust or lint on the monitor can be removed with a blower.
Stains can be removed by wiping the monitor lightly with a soft cloth or
chamois leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid
injury from broken glass. Be careful that liquid crystal from the monitor
does not touch the skin or enter the eyes or mouth.
･ The display may rapidly icker on and o during burst photography.
Watching the ickering display could cause you to feel unwell. Discontinue
use until your condition improves.
