Precautions • Before recording an important scene, please perform the operation test, then check if the scene was captured properly. • When the digital still camera is not in use, remember to remove the card, turn off the power, and disconnect the digital still camera from the power source. • Do not aim the lens at the sun. Do not allow direct sunlight to strike the digital still camera lens or LCD monitor screen, whether or not recording is in progress, as it may damage the CCD sensor or LCD screen surface. Be particularly careful when recording outside. • Always respect prohibitions or restrictions on the use of electronic equipment on commercial flights or in other sensitive areas. • Be aware of the temperature and humidity. You can use your digital still camera at 32°F to 104°F (0°C to L40°C), and at 30% to 80% relative humidity. Do not store the unit in an unventilated car in the summer, in direct sunlight, or near strong heat sources; this can result in severe damage to the unit casing and circuitry. • Avoid magnetic sources. Using the digital still camera near strong fluorescent lights, motors, televisions, or other magnetic sources may adversely affect recorded images. • Using the digital still camera near a broadcasting station or other powerful transmission source may cause buzzing or image deterioration. • Avoid shocks and dropping. Do not drop or otherwise subject the digital still camera to hard shocks or strong vibrations. Bumping or striking the unit during recording will generate noise in the recorded image. • Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or other foreign matter could get on or inside the digital still camera, and do not use or leave your digital still camera in areas with excessive smoke, steam or moisture. Such environments can cause malfunctions or cause mildew to form on the lenses. Be sure to keep the unit in a well-ventilated location. • Some small, portable tripods may be difficult to attach and may not be sturdy enough to support your digital still camera. Be sure to use only a strong, stable tripod. • This digital still camera is equipped with a moving lens. Do not hit or press it hard. • Avoid placing the digital still camera in close proximity to lighting equipment. The heat from incandescent lights may deform the digital still camera, or cause it to malfunction. • When using your digital still camera in a cold environment, the LCD monitor screen often appears less bright immediately after the power is turned on. This is not a malfunction. To prevent the digital still camera from becoming too cold, wrap it in a thick cloth, blanket, etc. ix
