Preventing Malfunctions Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data. Avoid Condensation Related Problems Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag. If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card, batteries or compact power adapter from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use. Extended Storage When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the batteries from the camera or battery charger and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended periods with batteries installed will cause battery leakage and damage the camera. 9

Preventing Malfunctions
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric
motors or other equipment generating strong
electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic
fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold
temperatures may cause condensation (water
droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces.
You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an
airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to
temperature changes slowly before removing it from
the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect
condensation. Continued use may damage the
equipment. Remove the CF card, batteries or
compact power adapter from the camera and wait
until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of
time, remove the batteries from the camera or battery
charger and store the equipment in a safe place.
Storing the camera for extended periods with
batteries installed will cause battery leakage and
damage the camera.
