On operating temperatures Your camera is designed for use under the temperatures between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F). (In case of alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery, the temperatures are between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and 104°F).) Shooting 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, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera. 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 air-conditioned 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 about an hour. If moisture condensation occurs Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you will be unable to record clear images. On the internal rechargeable battery This camera has an internal rechargeable battery for maintaining the date and time and other settings regardless of whether the power is on or off. This rechargeable battery is continually charged as long as you are using the camera. However, if you use the camera for only short periods, it discharges gradually, and if you do not use the camera at all for about one week it becomes completely discharged. In this case, be sure to charge this rechargeable battery before using the camera. However, even if this rechargeable battery is not charged, you can still use the camera as long as you do not record the date and time. 8 Charging method of the internal rechargeable battery Insert batteries with enough capacity in the camera, and leave the camera for 24 hours or more with the power off.
