∫ 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.
•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.
∫ Card
Do not leave the card where the
temperature is high, where
electromagnetic waves or static
electricity are easily generated or
exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not bend or drop the card.
•The card may be damaged or the recorded
content may be damaged or deleted.
•Put the card in the card case or the
storage bag after use and when storing or
carrying the card.
•Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into
the terminals on the back of the card and
do not touch the terminals with your
fingers.
∫ 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.
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 travelling in.
Dispose of unusable battery.
•Batteries have a limited life.
•Do not throw batteries into fire because it
may cause an explosion.
•Unusable batteries 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.
∫ Charger
•If you use the battery charger near a
radio, the radio reception may be
disturbed. Keep the charger 1 m
(3.28 feet) or more away from radios.
•The charger may generate whirring
sounds when it is being used. This is not a
malfunction.
•After using the charger, be sure to
disconnect it from the electrical outlet. (A
very small amount of current is consumed
if it is left connected.)
•Keep the terminals of the charger and
battery clean.
∫ When not using the camera for a long
period of time
•Store the battery in a cool and dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
•Always remove the battery and the card
from the camera.
•If the battery is left inserted in the camera
it will discharge even if the camera is
turned off. If the battery continues to be
left in the camera, it will discharge
excessively and may become unusable
even if charged.
•When storing the battery for a long period
of time, we recommend charging it once a
year. Remove the battery from the camera
and store it again after it has completely
discharged.
•We recommend storing the camera with a
desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a
closet or a cabinet.
•If you have not used the camera for a
long period of time, check all the parts
before taking pictures.
