Usage cautions and notes

Caring for your camera

To clean your camera, remove the battery, the DC coupler (optional) or a card, or

disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

●

Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping with a dry cloth.

●

Do not use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the

outer casing and finish of the camera.

●

If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions carefully.

When not using for a while

●

Turn off the camera before removing battery and card (ensure that battery is removed

to prevent damage through over-discharge).

●

Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.

●

Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in

cool (15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)) places with low humidity (40%RH to 60%RH) and

no major temperature changes.

●

Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again.

●

Check all the parts before taking pictures when you have not used the camera for a

long period of time.

Monitor/viewfinder

●

Do not press hard on the monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage the

monitor.

●

In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the monitor or

the viewfinder may appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is

turned on. Normal brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.

The monitor and viewfinder are made with extremely high precision technology.

However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.

This is not a malfunction. The monitor and viewfinder screens are controlled with

extremely high precision, but some pixels may be inactive. The spots will not be

recorded on pictures on a card.
