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.
• By strong magnetic fields created
by speakers or large motors,
recorded data may be damaged, or
images may be distorted.
• 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 deformed 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)
When you use your digital camera
in a rainy or snowy day or on a
beach, make sure that no water
enters inside the digital camera.
• Water may cause the digital camera
or card to malfunction. (Irreparable
failure 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.
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.
