Caring for the camera and battery: Cautions
584
Store in a well-ventilated area●
To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do
not st
ore the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, next to
equipment that produces strong electromagnetic, 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 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.
Monitor/viewnder●
･ The monitors (including viewnder) are 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 these displays 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
