Camera care
Do not drop●
Do not drop the camera or lens or subject them to blows. The product may
malfunc
tion 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.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature●
If you bring the camera from a cold place to a warm place, or from a warm
place to a cold place, water droplets may form inside and outside the camera
and cause damage. When you bring the camera to a place with a
temperature dierence, place the camera in a carrying case or plastic bag
and seal it beforehand. When the camera has adapted to the ambient
temperature, take it out from the bag and use it.
Keep away from strong magnetic elds●
Static charges or the magnetic elds produced by equipment such as radio
transmitters could interfere with the monitor, corrupt data stored on the
memory card, or aect the product’s internal circuitry.
Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun●
Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun or other strong light source for
extended periods. Intense light may damage the image sensor or cause
fading or “burn in”. Photographs taken with the camera may exhibit a white
blur eect.
