SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Camera notes:
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of
locations:
In the rain, very humid and dusty places.
In a place where the camera can be exposed directly to
the sunlight or subject to high temperature, e.g. Inside a
closed car in summer.
In a place where the camera is subject to a high
magnetic field, e.g. near motors, transformers or
magnets.
Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places where
dr
ipping water or sand may come in contact with the
camera, which may cause irrepairable faults.
If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we
suggest you remove the battery and the memory card from
the camera and keep them
in dry environment.
If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location to a
warm place, mo
isture may condense inside the camera. We
suggest you wait for a while before turing on the camera.
No compensation for loss of recordings. Loss of recordings
cannot be compensated for if a malfunction of your camera
or recording media, etc, makes the playback of recordings
not possible.
Battery notes:
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak,
become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions
given below.
Do not expose the batteries to water, and take
particular care to keep the terminals dry.
Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the
batteries.
Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small
children.
In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and the
time for which they can be used shortens markedly.
Memory card notes:
When using a new memory card, or a memory card has
been initialized by a PC, be sure to format the card with
your digital camera before using it.
To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s hard
d
isk first.
Do not change or delete the folder names or file names
i
n the memory card from your PC, as this may make it
impossible to recognize or misinterpret the original folder
or file in your camera.
The photos taken by this camera are stored in the auto-
generated folder in SD card. Please do not store photos
that are not taken by this model of camera, as this may
make it impossible to recognize the picture when the
camera is in playback mode. Please do not expose the
camera to harsh environments such as moisture or extreme
temperatures, which may shorten the life of your camera or
damage the batteries.
