Using Your Camera Abroad Battery Charger (Model BJ‑10) The battery charger can be used in regions with a current of 100-240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz. If you are going to travel to a country that uses a different shaped wall outlet/plug, please consult your travel agent on a plug adapter suitable for wall outlets in your country of destination. Do not use electrical transformers. It may damage the camera. Warranty This product was manufactured for use in the country in which it was purchased.
• The battery may become hot after extended use. Touching the battery immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers. • If the picture display or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become washed out and images may become hard to view. • The picture display and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.
Care and Storage Care • Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will suffer. • When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft cloth to gently dust it off. Special care should be taken for the lens barrel. • After use at the beach or around chemicals, wipe it off particularly carefully.
Warranty and Servicing Note-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------• Before sending the camera in for repair, check the battery and read the instruction manual again to ensure proper operation. • Some repairs require a significant amount of time to be completed. • When sending the camera to a service center, please include a note which describes the defective part and the problem as precisely as possible.
