Technical Notes Caring for the Camera Long-Term Storage When the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery. Before removing the battery, confirm that the camera is off. Do not store the camera in locations that: • are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%, • are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios, or • are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below −20 °C (−4 °F).
Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions Cautions: Camera Care Do Not Drop Do not drop the camera or lens or subject them to blows. The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration. ● Keep Dry Keep the camera dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism caused by water inside the camera can not only be expensive to repair but can in fact cause irreparable damage.
● Lasers and Other Bright Light Sources Do not direct lasers or other extremely bright light sources toward the lens, as this could damage the camera’s image sensor. ● Cleaning When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in fresh water and then dry the camera thoroughly.
The Lens Contacts Keep the lens contacts clean. Avoid touching them with your fingers. ● Store in a Well-Ventilated Area To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, or where it will be exposed to extremely high temperatures, for example near a heater or in an enclosed vehicle on a hot day.
Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source Removing or disconnecting the power source while the camera is on could damage the product. Particular care should be taken not to remove or disconnect the power source while pictures are being recorded or deleted. ● ● Monitor/Viewfinder • The monitors (including viewfinder) are constructed with extremely high • • • • precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective.
D Caution: Disposing of Data Storage Devices Please note that deleting pictures or formatting memory cards or other data storage devices does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s responsibility.
Cautions: Battery Care ● Precautions for Use • If improperly handled, batteries may rupture or leak, causing the product • • • • 54 to corrode. Observe the following precautions when handling batteries: - Turn the product off before replacing the battery. - Batteries may be hot after extended use. - Keep the battery terminals clean. - Use only batteries approved for use in this equipment. - Do not short or disassemble batteries or expose them to flame or excessive heat.
• • • • • Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below −10 °C (14 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). Failure to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance. Charge the battery indoors at ambient temperatures of 5 °C–35 °C (41 °F–95 °F). The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
● Have Fully-Charged Spare Batteries Ready on Cold Days Partially-charged batteries may not function on cold days. In cold weather, charge one battery before use and keep another in a warm place, ready to be exchanged as necessary. Once warmed, cold batteries may recover some of their charge. ● Battery Level • Turning the camera on or off repeatedly when the battery is fully discharged will shorten battery life. Batteries that have been fully discharged must be charged before use.
Cautions: Using the Charger • • • • • • Do not move the charger or touch the battery during charging; failure to observe this precaution could in very rare instances result in the charger showing that charging is complete when the battery is only partially charged. Remove and reinsert the battery to begin charging again. Do not short the charger terminals. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating and damage to the charger.
