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.
