Do not drop: The product may malfunc-
tion if subjected to strong shocks or
vibration.
Keep dry: This product is not water-
proof, and may malfunction if
immersed in water or exposed to
high levels of humidity. Rusting of
the internal mechanism can cause
irreparable damage.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sud-
den changes in temperature, such as
those that occur when entering or
leaving a heated building on a cold
day, can cause condensation inside
the device. To prevent condensation,
place the device in a carrying case or
plastic bag before exposing it to sud-
den changes in temperature.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields: Do
not use or store this device in the
vicinity of equipment that generates
strong electromagnetic radiation or
magnetic fields. Strong static charges
or the magnetic fields produced by
equipment such as radio transmitters
could interfere with the displays,
damage data stored on the memory
card, or affect the product’s internal
circuitry.
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 pho-
tographs.
Keep the lens mount covered: Be sure to
attach the body cap if the camera is
without a lens.
Do not touch the dust shield: The dust
shield covering the image sensor is
easily damaged. Under no circum-
stances should you exert pressure on
the shield or poke it with cleaning
tools. These actions could scratch or
otherwise damage the shield.
Turn the product off before removing or dis-
connecting the power source: Do not
unplug the product or remove the
battery while the product is on or
while images are being recorded or
deleted. Forcibly cutting power in
these circumstances could result in
loss of data or in damage to product
memory or internal circuitry. To pre-
vent an accidental interruption of
power, avoid carrying the product
from one location to another while
the AC adapter is connected.
