Cautions for Use
ª 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.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or
images may be distorted by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.
• 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 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.
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.
• Before cleaning the camera, detach the
battery or pull out the AC adaptor from the
electrical outlet.
• Wipe the digital camera with a soft, dry
cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe
with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent
diluted with water and afterward finish
wiping with a dry cloth.
• For storing or transporting the digital
camera, place it in a bag or case lined with
soft pads to prevent the coating on the
camera body from being worn.
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.
