Cautions for Use
ª Cautions for Use
Keep the digital camera away
from magnetized equipment
(such as a microwave oven, TV,
video game equipment, etc.).
• If you use the digital camera on or
near a TV, images and sounds may be
disturbed due to electromagnetic
wave radiation.
• Do not use the digital camera near a
cell phone because doing so may
cause noise to adversely affect the
images and sounds.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
images may be distorted by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation
generated by a microprocessor may
adversely affect the digital camera,
causing the disturbance of images and
sounds.
• If the digital camera is affected by
magnetically charged equipment and
does not function properly, turn the
camera off and detach the battery or
AC adaptor and then connect the
battery or AC adaptor again.
Thereafter, turn the camera on.
Do not use the digital camera
near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines, recorded images or
sounds may be adversely affected.
Do not spray insecticides or
volatile chemicals onto the
digital camera.
• If the digital camera is sprayed with
such chemicals, the camera body may
be damaged and the surface finish
may peel off.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic products
in contact with the digital camera for a
long period of time.
When you use the digital camera
on a beach or similar place, do
not let sand or fine dust get into
the camera.
• Sand or dust may damage the digital
camera or card. (Care should be taken
when inserting and removing the
card.)
Do not use the digital camera for
surveillance purpose or other
business use.
• If you use the digital camera for a long
period of time, the internal
temperature increases and,
consequently, this may cause
malfunction.
• The digital camera is not intended for
business use.
Do not use benzine, thinner or
alcohol for cleaning the digital
camera.
• The camera body may be deformed
and the surface finish may peel off.
• Before cleaning the camera, detach
the battery or pull out the AC adaptor
from the electrical outlet.
• Wipe the digital camera with a soft, dry
cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe
with a cloth that is soaked in a
detergent diluted with water and
afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth.
• For storing or transporting the digital
camera, place it in a bag or case lined
with soft pads to prevent the coating
on the camera body from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the
card out, and detach the battery
or pull out the AC adaptor from
the electrical outlet.
• If the battery is left on the digital
camera for a long time, the voltage
drops excessively, and the battery will
not function even after it is recharged.
