SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Camera notes:
Do not store or use the camera in the following types
of locations:
• In the rain or in, very humid and dusty places.
• In a place where the camera may be exposed directly
to sunlight or subject to high temperature, e.g. Inside
a closed car in summer.
• In a place where the camera is subject to a high magnetic
field, e.g. near motors, transformers or magnets.
Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places
where dripping water or sand may come in contact with
the camera, which may cause irrepairable damage.
If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we
suggest you remove the batteries and the memory card
from the camera and keep them in a dry environment.
If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location
to a warm place, moisture may condense inside the
camera. We suggest you wait for a while before turing
on the camera.
No compensation for loss of recordings. Loss of record
-
ings cannot be compensated for if a malfunction of
your camera or recording media, makes the playback of
recordings not possible.
Battery notes:
Incorrect use of the battery may cause them to leak,
become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the
precautions given below.
• Do not expose the battery to water, and take
particular care to keep the terminals dry.
• Do not heat the battery or throw them into a fire.
• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the
battery .
Keep the battery out of reach of small children.
In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and
the time for which they can be used shortens markedly.
Memory card notes:
When using a new memory card, or a memory card that
has been used in a PC, be sure to format the card with
your digital camera before using it.
To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s
hard disk first.
Do not change or delete the folder names or file names
in the memory card from your PC, as this may make
it impossible for your camera to recognize the original
folder or file in the memory card.
The photos taken by this camera are stored in the auto-
generated folder in the SD card. Please do not store
photos that are not taken by this model of camera, as
this may make it impossible to recognize the picture
when the camera is in playback mode. Please do not
expose the camera to harsh environments such as
moisture or extreme temperatures, which may shorten
the life of your camera or damage the batteries.
