Storage: To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area.
If you are
using an AC adapter, unplug the adapter to prevent fire.
If the product will not be used for an
extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag
containing a desiccant.
Do not, however, store the camera case in a plastic bag, as this may
cause the material to deteriorate.
Note that desiccant gradually loses its capacity to absorb
moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.
Turn the
camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting it away.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Replace the terminal cover before putting the battery
away.
Notes on the monitor: The monitor is constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99% of
pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective.
Hence while these
displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black),
this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction.
Dust or lint
on the monitor can be removed with a blower.
Stains can be removed by wiping lightly with a
soft cloth or chamois leather.
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury
from broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering
the eyes and mouth.
Replace the monitor cover when transporting the camera or leaving it unattended.
Batteries: Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled.
Observe the following
precautions when handling batteries:
Use only batteries approved for use in this equipment.
Do not expose the battery to flame or excessive heat.
Keep the battery terminals clean.
Turn the product off before replacing the battery.
Remove the battery from the camera or charger when not in use and replace the terminal
cover.
These devices draw minute amounts of charge even when off and could draw the
battery down to the point that it will no longer function.
If the battery will not be used for
some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing it and storing it in a location
with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25 °C (59 to 77 °F; avoid hot or extremely cold
locations).
Repeat this process at least once every six months.
Turning the camera on or off repeatedly when the battery is fully discharged will shorten
battery life.
Batteries that have been fully discharged must be charged before use.
The internal temperature of the battery may rise while the battery is in use.
Attempting to
charge the battery while the internal temperature is elevated will impair battery
performance, and the battery may not charge or charge only partially.
Wait for the battery
to cool before charging.
