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/Viewfinder will be slightly
darker than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal
temperature of the camera increases.
Do not press the lens with excessive force.
Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it to
malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the picture may be
affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.
Retract the lens when carrying the camera.
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.
Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or carry away from metallic objects (clips, etc.).
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.
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 traveling in.
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 at 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.
About the LCD monitor/Viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor/Viewfinder
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/Viewfinder 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.
