ª Condensation
When using the camera outdoors during
very cold weather, condensation can
form on the camera and lens when you
return to a warm place.
When condensation has taken place:
Turn the camera off and leave the
camera in this condition for about
2 hours. When the camera becomes
close to the ambient temperature, the
condensation disappears naturally.
ª Optimal Use of the Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power is
based upon the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery will be
shorter.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the battery body and
terminals are deformed.
Inserting a deformed battery to the
camera may damage the camera.
Be sure to remove the battery after
use.
If it is left inserted to the camera, a
minute amount of current is consumed
even when the camera is turned off. If
the battery is left inserted in the camera
for a long time, discharge takes place.
The battery may become unusable even
after it is charged.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire
because it may cause an explosion.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the camera, remove the
card and the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:
15oC to 25oC,
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
Battery
• Do not leave the camera and the
battery at the place where the
temperature is too high, such as inside
a car during the summer.
• Extremely high or low temperatures
will shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty
places, the terminals may rust and
cause malfunctions.
• Do not allow the battery terminals to
come in contact with metal objects
(such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
This can result in a short circuit or heat
generation and, if you touch the
battery in this condition, you may be
badly burned.
• Store the battery in a completely
discharged state. To store the battery
for a long period of time, we
recommend charging it once every
year and storing it again after you
completely use up the charged
capacity.
