SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Camera notes:

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of

locations:

• In the rain or in, very humid and dusty places.

• In a place where the camera may be exposed directly

to 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

dripping water or sand may come in contact with the

camera, which may cause irrepairable damage.

If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we

suggest you remove the batteries and the memory card

from the camera and keep them in a dry environment.

If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location to a

warm place, moisture 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, makes the playback of recordings not

possible.

Battery notes:

Incorrect use of the battery may cause them to leak, become

hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given

below.

• Do not expose the battery to water, and take particular

care to keep the terminals dry.

• Do not heat the battery or throw them into a ﬁre.

• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

battery .

Keep the battery out of reach of 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 that has

been used in 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

disk ﬁrst.

Do not change or delete the folder names or ﬁle names

in the memory card from your PC, as this may make it

impossible for your camera to recognize the original folder

or ﬁle in the memory card.

The photos taken by this camera are stored in the auto-

generated folder in the 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.

LCD Screen notes:

Extremely high-precision technology has been used to

manufacture the LCD screen so that most of the pixels are

operational for use. However, there may be some minute

points (black, white, red, blue or green) that constantly

appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the

manufacturing process and the recording is not affected

in any way.

Avoid exposing the LCD screen to water; remove

any moisture on the LCD screen with a soft and dry

cleaning cloth.
