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.
When you use your digital
camera on a rainy or snowy day
or on a beach, make sure that no
water enters the digital camera.
• Water may cause the digital camera or
card to malfunction. (Irreparable
damage may occur)
• If sea water splashes onto the digital
camera, wet a soft cloth with tap
water, wring it well, and use it to wipe
the camera body carefully. Then, wipe
it again thoroughly with a soft dry
cloth.
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. The camera can
be placed in a air tight plastic bag and
allowed to warm. The condensation will
form on the bag.
When condensation has taken
place:
Set the power switch to [OFF]
and leave the digital camera in
this condition for about 1 hour.
When the camera becomes close
to the ambient temperature, the
fog 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.
Always keep the terminals of the
battery clean.
Prevent the terminals from getting
clogged with dirt, dust, or other
substances.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the battery body and
terminals are deformed. Attaching a
deformed battery to the digital camera
may damage the camera.
Be sure to detach the battery
after use.
Be sure to detach the battery from the
digital camera. (If it is left attached to
the digital camera, a minute amount of
current is consumed even when the
digital camera power is off.) If the
battery is left attached to the digital
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.
• Batteries that are no longer usable
should be discarded in accordance
with battery recycling laws.
