Safety precautions ● Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries. Recommended batteries may be difficult to obtain while traveling. ● Please recycle batteries to help save our planet's resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations. Battery charger ● Although battery charging is guaranteed when the air temperature is 0°C - 40°C/32°F - 104°F, for best results, we recommend an air temperature between 10°C - 30° C/50°F - 86°F. ● If the red charge indicator blinks, the battery may be broken or not inserted correctly. ● The battery may become warm while charging, but this is not a malfunction. ● There may be static on other electronic equipment (such as a radio or television) if the battery charger is plugged in to the same outlet. If this occurs, plug the battery charger into a different outlet. LCD monitor ● Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become fuzzy, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor. If the monitor is damaged, be careful not to get any of the liquid crystals from the monitor in your mouth. If liquid crystals get on your limbs or clothes, wash them off. ● A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction. ● When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; It will be less noticeable in playback mode. 11 ● In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. A LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures. ● The LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear on the LCD monitor. These spots may not be uniform in color and brightness depending on their characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor. This is not a malfunction. 185 Appendix
