SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Camera notes:
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations: In the rain, very humid and dusty places. In a place where the camera can be exposed directly to the 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 faults. If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we suggest you remove the battery and the memory card. 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 recordings cannot be compensated for if a malfunction of your camera or recording media, etc, makes the playback of recordings not possible.

Battery notes:

Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given below. Do not expose the batteries to water, and take particular care to keep the terminals dry. Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire. Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the batteries. Use GE charger in the package to charge the lithium battery only (for G and E series). Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and 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 has been initialized by 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 and then format memory card if upgrade the firmware. Do not change or delete the directory names, or file names in the memory card from your PC, as this may make it impossible to use the card in your camera.

BEFORE YOU START

Preface
Thank you for purchasing GE digital cameras. Please read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
