Usage cautions and notes
- 236 -
When not using for a while
●
Turn off the camera before removing the battery and the memory card (ensure that battery is
removed to prevent damage through over-discharge).
●
Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.
●
Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in cool (15°C
to 25°C (59°F to 77°F)) places with low humidity (40% RH to 60% RH) and no major temperature
changes.
●
Charge the battery once per year and use completely before storing again.
Memory cards
●
To prevent damage to cards and data
• Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic fields, and static electricity.
• Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.
• Do not touch the terminals on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet.
●
When disposing of/transferring memory cards
• If using the “format” or “delete” functions on your camera or computer, this only changes the file
management information, and does not completely delete the data from within the memory card.
When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying the
memory card itself, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely
delete the data from the card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.
Monitor/Viewfinder
●
Do not exert excess pressure on the monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage the
monitor.
●
In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the monitor or the viewfinder
may appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is turned on. Normal
brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.
The monitor and the viewfinder are made with extremely high precision technology. However there
may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The
monitor and viewfinder screens are controlled with extremely high precision (greater than 99.99%),
but some pixels (under 0.01%) may be inactive. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on the
built-in memory or a card.
