Precautions
On cleaning
Cleaning the LCD screenWipe the screen surface with an L('D
cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove
fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the lens
Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to reraove
fingerprints, dust, etc.
Cleaning the camera surface
Clean tile camera surface with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with water, then wipe
the surface dry. Do not use any type of
solvent such as thinner, alcohol or benzine
as this may damage the finish or the casing.
After using your camera at theseashore or other dusty locationsClean your c_mera carefully. Otherwise,
tile salty air may corrode the metal fittings
or dust may enter the inside of your camera,
causing a malfunction.
Note on operating temperatureYour camera is designed for use between
tile temperatures of 0°C and 40°C (32°F
and 104 ° F). Shooting in extremely cold or
hot places that exceed this rm_ge is not
recommended.
On 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 tile camera. Should this occur, tile
camera will not operate properly.
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 m_ air-
conditioned room or car interior to the hot
outdoors, e_c.
How to prevent moisture
condensation
When bringing the camera from a cold
place to a warm place, seal the camera in a
plastic bag m_d allow it to adapt to
conditions at tile new location over a period
of time (about an hour).
If moisture condensation occurs"lMrn offthe camera and wait about an hour
for the tlaoisture to evaporate. Note that if
you attempt to shoot with moisture
