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.

If water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera

and remove the battery and memory card. Allow to air-dry

for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.

If camera overheats, while in use or charging, disconnect

charger and carefully remove batteries

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 that

has been used or initialized by a P.C. or a different model

camera, 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 cause a

memory card read error to occur when viewing photos on

the memory card from the playback mode in your camera.

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 cause

a read error to occur 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.

Do not remove memory card without turning the digital

camera off to avo

id possible damage of your memory card.

Do not switch off the digital camera when a writing process is

occurring to avoid incomplete data writing and damaged pictures.

Align the memory card correctly before inserting it into the

camera's SD card slot. Do not force the memory card into

the cameras' SD card slot.

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; please

remove any mo

isture on the LCD screen with a soft,

dry cleaning cloth.
