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

eld, 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 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, 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, 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 re.

• 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 disk

rst.

Do not change or delete the folder names or le names in the

memory card from your PC, as this may make it impossible

to recognize or misinterpret the original folder or le 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.
