Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera
Do not use or store the camera in a hot environment or under direct sunlight.
Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding
vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at
normal temperatures.
The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is
due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a malfunction.
If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the
inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag and
take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.
Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could
cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.
Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause it to break or malfunction.
When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod
socket on the camera.
