particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling).
Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your
data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording
media (SD Memory Card), etc.
The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
About the Battery and Power Adapter
Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing it
especially in high temperatures.
If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will

use it with any other equipment.
Care to be Taken During Handling
8 98 9
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.
