Note on operating temperature

Back up important data
To avoid the potential risk of data loss,
always make backup copies of important
data.
Notes on the LCD screen and lenses
• The LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology so
over 99.99 % of the pixels are operational
for effective use. However, there may be
some tiny black points and/or bright points
(white, red, blue or green in color) that
constantly appear on the LCD screen.
These points are normal in the
manufacturing process of the LCD screen
and do not affect the recording in any way.
• Be careful when placing the camera near a
window or outdoors. Exposing the LCD
screen and lens to direct sunlight for long
periods may cause malfunctions.
• Replace the lens cap when you are not
using the camera, tele conversion lens or
wide conversion lens.
No compensation for recorded contents
Recorded contents cannot be compensated
for if recording or playback is not possible
due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media, etc.

for Camera File system universal standard

About moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very
damp room, moisture may condense inside
or outside the camera. This moisture
condensation may cause the camera to
malfunction.
Moisture condensation occurs easily when:
• The camera is brought from a cold location
such as a ski slope into a warmly heated
room.
• The camera is taken from an airconditioned
room or car interior to the hot outdoors,
etc.
How to prevent moisture condensation
When bringing the camera from a cold place
to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic
bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the
new location over a period of time (about an
hour).
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the camera, remove the battery and
wait about an hour for the moisture to
evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot
with moisture remaining inside the lens, you
will be unable to record clear images.
Caring for your camera
About the internal rechargeable
button battery
This camera has an internal rechargeable
button battery for maintaining the date and
time and other settings regardless of whether
the power is on or off. This internal button
battery recharges every time you attach the
main battery. If the main battery becomes
exhausted, the internal button battery fully
discharges in about one month. In this case,
the date/time display is reset to the default
setting and the date/time setting screen will
appear the next time you turn on the camera.
Charging method
Attach a charged battery to the camera and
do not use the camera for 24 hours or more
with the power off.
