Technical Notes and Index
B Precautions on Handling the Camera in Cold Locations
• The operation of this camera has been confirmed at temperatures of –10°C (14°F). If the camera is
left with snow or water droplets adhered to the exterior, snow or water droplets between the gaps
may become frozen and it may be difficult to operate parts of the camera.
• At temperatures from –10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), the performance of the batteries (number of
pictures shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily.
• If the camera becomes extremely cold in cold locations, the monitor performance may drop
temporarily immediately after the power is turned on (i.e., the monitor appears darker than usual
or a residual image occurs).
• When using the camera in cold locations or at high altitudes, keep the camera warm inside a
protection against cold or clothing.
B Do Not Drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These
parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or
damage to the lens.
B Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or
storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of the image sensor, producing a white
blur effect in photographs.
B 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 charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment
such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card,
or affect the product’s internal circuitry.
B Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a
carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
Do not expose the camera to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sunlight
before entering the water.
