Before Use
■ About the Lens
• Do not press the lens or the lens barrel
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.
■ About Condensation (When the lens
is fogged up)
• Condensation occurs when the ambient
temperature or humidity changes
as described below. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens stains,
fungus and camera malfunction.
– When the camera is taken from the
cold outdoors to the warm indoors
– When the camera is taken from outside
to inside an air-conditioned car
– When cool wind from an air conditioner
etc. blows directly on the camera
– In humid places
• To prevent condensation, put the camera
in a plastic bag until the temperature
of the camera is close to the ambient
temperature. If condensation occurs,
turn the camera off and leave it for
about 2 hours. The fog will disappear
naturally when the temperature of the
camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.
■ When not using the camera for a long
period of time
• Store the batteries in a cool and dry
place with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
• Always remove the batteries and the card
from the camera.
• If the batteries are left inserted in the
camera they will discharge as a weak
electric current passes through them
even if the camera is turned off. [Read
P12 for information about Ni-MH (nickel
metal hydride) batteries.]
• We recommend storing the camera with
a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it
in a closet or a cabinet.
