Usage cautions and notes
Lens
●
Do not press the lens with excessive force.
●
Images may appear slightly white if lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.). Turn the camera on,
hold the extracted lens barrel with your fingers, and gently wipe the lens surface with a
soft, dry cloth.
●
Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may
cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a
window.
●
Do not touch the lens barrier, as this may damage the lens. Be careful when removing
camera from bag, etc.
Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
This battery is easily affected by temperature and humidity, and is affected more when the
temperature is high or low.
●
The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage.
Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been
used in some time.
●
Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.
●
Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.
●
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.
●
Frequently charging up battery is not recommended.
(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to
expand.)
●
If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan.
Please purchase a new battery.
●
When charging:
• Wipe dirt from the battery terminal with a dry cloth.
• Keep at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference).
●
Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can
cause faults).
