52 Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
•
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. Failure to observe
these precautions could result in product malfunction.
•
Long‑Term Storage
To prevent damage caused for example by leaking battery fluid,
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 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.
