Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun:
Do not leave the lens pointed at
the sun or other strong light source
for an extended period. Intense
light may cause the image sensor
to deteriorate or produce a white
blur effect in photographs.
Moiré: Moiré is an interference pat-
tern created by the interaction of
an image containing a regular,
repeating grid, such as the pattern
of weave in cloth or windows in a
building, with the camera image
sensor grid. In some cases, it may
appear in the form of lines. If you
notice moiré in your photographs,
try changing the distance to the
subject, zooming in and out, or
changing the angle between the
subject and the camera.
Lines: Noise in the form of lines may
in rare cases appear in pictures of
extremely bright or backlit sub-
jects.
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.
Do not use the battery at ambient
temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or
above 40°C (104°F); failure to
observe this precaution could
damage the battery or impair its
performance. Capacity may be
reduced and charging times may
increase at battery temperatures
from 0°C (32°F) to 10°C (50°F)
and from 45°C (113°F) to 60°C
(140°F); the battery will not
charge if its temperature is below
0°C (32°F) or above 60°C (140°F).
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 tem-
perature of 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to
77 °F; avoid hot or extremely cold
locations). Repeat this process at
least once every six months.
Turning the camera on and off
repeatedly when the battery is
fully discharged will shorten bat-
tery life. Batteries that have been
fully discharged must be charged
before use.
