Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following pre-
cautions.
Storage and Use
Storage and Use
If the camera will not be used for an
extended period, remove the battery
and memory card. Do not store or
use the camera in locations that are:
• exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
• very humid or extremely dusty
• exposed to direct sunlight or very
high temperatures, such as in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day
• extremely cold
• subject to strong vibration
• exposed to strong magnetic elds,
such as near a broadcasting anten-
na, power line, radar emitter, motor,
transformer, or magnet
• in contact with volatile chemicals
such as pesticides
• next to rubber or vinyl products
■ Water and Sand
Exposure to water and sand can also
damage the camera and its internal
circuitry and mechanisms. When us-
ing the camera at the beach or sea-
side, avoid exposing the camera to
water or sand. Do not place the cam-
era on a wet surface.
■ Condensation
Sudden increases in temperature,
such as occur when entering a heated
building on a cold day, can cause con-
densation inside the camera. If this
occurs, turn the camera o and wait
an hour before turning it on again. If
condensation forms on the memory
card, remove the card and wait for the
condensation to dissipate.
