Precautions :
Thank you for purchasing a DC3200 digital camera. Please read the instructions
carefully for a thorough understanding of the product before taking pictures.
• This camera is not resistant to water and should not be used outdoors in
snow or rain. If accidentally dropped in water, please quickly pour out the
water. Dry it with sunlight or an air-blower.
• Protect it from excessive humidity. It will wet the lens and the pictures taken
will be blurred.
• Do not expose the camera to sand.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Always take it to an
authorized service facility for repair.
• Remove the batteries if you do not expect to use the camera for 1 month
or longer.
• To store the camera, wrap it in a piece of clean, soft cloth and place it in a
cool, dry, dust-free place. Also it should not be placed in very hot temperature
conditions or under direct sun-light.
• The batteries may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged,
shorted, exposed to high temperature, or disposed of in fire.
• AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH batteries can be used with this camera. The
camera will be damaged if you use poor quality batteries.
• Make sure all four batteries are fresh, unused or fully charged.
• Ensure that battery polarities are correct when placing the batteries in the
camera.
• Batteries may feel warm after being used for some time.
• Take care of the lens. Use special cloth to clean it.
• Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD monitor screen or
viewfinder.
• Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm room.
Try to put the camera in a plastic bag so condensation forms on the outside
of the bag.
• If the status LCD display or the LCD monitor screen is damaged, do not
touch it.
• Battery low detection:
When you see the battery icon blinking, replace the batteries with new
alkaline batteries or fully charged NiMH batteries.
If you do not replace batteries, you cannot use the flash and you have to
turn off the LCD monitor in order to take additional pictures.
• Battery life is shorter for poor quality alkaline batteries. If you always turn
on the LCD monitor and the flash , you should use good quality batteries(eg.
Energizer alkaline batteries). High power NiMH rechargeable batteries
(1300mAH or higher) are also recommended.
