Care to be Taken During Handling I Before Using Your Camera • When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling). Recorded data cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc. About the Battery and Charger • Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing in high temperatures. • If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery's usage span. • Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended. • The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for the battery charger D-BC90. Do not use it with other devices. Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera • Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high. • Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships. • The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F). • The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at normal temperatures. • The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction. • Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove it after temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized. • Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops. • Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break or malfunction. • Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod. 3

About
the
Battery
and
Charger
Storing
the
battery
fully

performance.
Avoid
storing
in
high
temperatures.
If
the
battery
is
left
inserted
and
the
camera
is
not
used
for
a
long
time,
the
battery
will
over
-discharge
and
shorten
the
battery's
usage
span.
Charging
the
battery
a
day
before
use
or
on
the
day
of
use
is
recommended.
The
AC
plug
cord
provided
with
this
camera
is
developed
exclusively
for
the
battery
charger
D-BC90.
Do
not
use
it
with
other
devices.
Precautions
on

and
Using
Your
Camera
Do
not
subject
the
camera
to
high
temperatures
or
high

at
low
temperatures.
This
is
due
to
liquid
crystal
properties,
and
is
not
a
malfunction.
Sudden
temperature
changes
will
cause
condensation
on
the
inside
and
outside
of
the
camera.
Place
the
camera
in
your
bag
or
a
plastic
bag,
and
