● The Lens Contacts
Keep the lens contacts clean. Avoid touching them with your fingers.
● St
ore 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.
● Monitor/Viewfinder
The monitor and 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. Hence while these
displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black),
this is not a malfunction. Pictures recorded with the device are unaffected. Your understanding is
requested.
Pictures in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
Do not apply pressure to the monitor. It could malfunction or suffer damage. Dust or lint 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.
Should you experience any of the following symptoms while framing shots in the viewfinder,
discontinue use until your condition improves:
nausea, eye pain, eye fatigue,
dizziness, headache, stiffness in your neck or shoulders,
queasiness or loss of hand-eye coordination, or
motion sickness.
The display may rapidly flicker on and off during burst photography. Watching the flickering
display could cause you to feel unwell. Discontinue use until your condition improves.
