Before Use

Care of the camera

Do not subject the camera to strong vibration, shock, or

pressure.

•

The lens, monitor, or external body parts may be damaged by such

treatment.

It may also malfunction or the image may not be recorded.

– Do not drop or hit the camera.

– Do not exert excessive pressure on the lens barrel or the monitor.

• When the camera is not in use or when using the playback

feature, ensure that the lens is in the retracted position, with

the lens cap attached.

• During certain operations, the camera may emit rattling

sounds or vibrations. These are due to the motorized

diaphragm and lens zoom setting and do not indicate a defect.

This camera is not dust/splash/water proof.

Avoid using the camera at locations with a lot of dust,

water, sand, etc.

•

Liquids, sand and other foreign material may enter the camera

through the gaps around the lens barrel, the buttons, etc. Be

particularly careful since it may not just cause malfunctions, but it

may become unrepairable.

– Take special care in places with a lot of sand or dust.

– Take special care in places where water can come into contact

with the camera such as when using it on a rainy day or on the

beach.

∫ About Condensation (When the lens or viewfinder is

fogged up)

•

Condensation occurs when the equipment is subjected to

significant changes of the ambient temperature or humidity. Try to

avoid condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera

malfunction.

• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about

2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of

the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature.
