∫ About the LCD monitor
• Do not press the LCD monitor with
excessive force. Uneven colors may
appear on the LCD monitor and it may
malfunction.
• If the camera is cold when you turn it on,
the picture on the LCD monitor will be
slightly darker than usual at first. However,
the picture will return to normal brightness
when the internal temperature of the
camera increases.
∫ About the Lens
• Do not press the lens with excessive
force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens
facing the sun as it may cause the camera
to malfunction. Also, be careful when you
leave the camera outside or near a
window.
∫ Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power
comes from the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity. If the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery will
become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
Store the removed battery in the battery
carrying case (supplied).
Bring charged spare batteries when
going out.
• Be aware that the operating time of the
battery becomes shorter in low temperature
conditions such as at a ski resort.
• When you travel, do not forget to bring the
battery charger (supplied) so that you can
charge the battery in the country that you
are travelling in.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the body of the battery
and the terminals are damaged.
• Inserting a damaged battery in the
camera will damage the camera.
Dispose of unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire because
it may cause an explosion.
• The unusable battery should be discarded
in accordance with battery recycling laws.
Call the RBRC hotline on 1-800-822-8837
for information.
Do not allow battery terminals to come
into contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins etc.).
• This can cause short circuiting or heat
generation and you may be badly burned
if you touch a battery.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD monitor
screen. However there may be some
dark or bright spots (red, blue or green)
on the screen. This is not a malfunction.
The LCD monitor screen has more than
99.99% effective pixels with a mere
0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
The spots will not be recorded on
pictures on the built-in memory or a
card.
