Preventing Malfunctions
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other
equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong
magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image and audio data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may
cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal
surfaces.
You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable
plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before
removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued
use may damage the equipment.
Remove the memory card and batteries or compact power adapter from
the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the
batteries from the camera or battery charger and store the equipment in a
safe place.
Storing the camera for extended periods with batteries installed may
cause battery leakage and damage the camera (Do not remove the date
battery.)
z
Do not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to contact the charger
terminals or plug.
z
If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm.
Please take care when operating the camera for an extended period as your hands may
experience a burning sensation.
