Additional information Precautions On cleaning Cleaning the LCD screen Wipe the screen surface with a cleaning cloth (optional) or an LCD cleaning kit (optional) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc. Cleaning the camera surface Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe the surface dry. Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, alcohol or benzene as this may damage the finish or the casing. After using your camera at the seashore or other dusty locations Clean your camera carefully. Otherwise, the salty air may corrode the metal fittings or dust may enter the inside of your camera, causing a malfunction. On floppy disks To protect data recorded on floppy disks, note the following: • Avoid storing floppy disks near magnets or magnetic fields such as those of speakers and televisions. Otherwise, permanent erasure of disk data may result. • Avoid storing floppy disks in areas subject to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature, such as a heating device. Floppy disk warping or damage may result, rendering the disk useless. • Avoid contact with the disk's surface by opening the disk shutter plate. If the disk's surface becomes blemished, data may be rendered unreadable. • Avoid getting liquids on the floppy disk. • Be sure to use a floppy disk case to ensure protection of important data. • Even when you use a 3.5-inch 2HD floppy disk, image data may not be recorded and/or displayed depending on the using environment. In this case, use a disk of other brand. On operating temperature Your camera is designed for use between the temperatures of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Recording in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended. On moisture condensation If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. Should this occur, the camera will not operate properly. Moisture condensation occurs easily when: • The camera is brought from a cold location such as a ski slope into a warmly heated room. • The camera is taken from an airconditioned room or car interior to the hot outdoors, etc. How to prevent moisture condensation When bringing the camera from a cold place to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the new location over a period of time (about an hour). 83 Additional information
