Information on Disposal in other Countries outside the European Union
This symbol is only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal. Care for the camera Do not strongly shake or bump the camera. The camera may not be operated normally, recording of pictures may be disabled or the lens and the LCD monitor may be damaged. Sand or dust may cause the camera to malfunction. Make sure that sand or dust does not get into the lens, the ash or the terminals when using the camera on a beach etc. Make sure that water does not get into the camera when using it on a rainy day or on a beach. This camera is not waterproof. In case the camera comes into contact with water, wipe it off with a dry cloth. When the camera does not operate normally, contact your dealer or your nearest Service Center.
About the LCD monitor Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the LCD monitor and it may malfunction. Condensation may form on the LCD monitor in places with large temperature differences. Wipe the condensation with a soft, dry cloth. If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual at rst. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal temperature of the camera increases. Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded in pictures stored in the built-in memory or a card.
About the Lens Do not press the lens or the lens barrel with excessive force. Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when you leave the camera outside or near a window. About Condensation (When the lens is fogged up) Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes as described below. Be careful of condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera malfunction. When the camera is taken from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors When the camera is taken from outside to inside an air-conditioned car When cool wind from an air conditioner etc. blows directly on the camera In humid places To prevent condensation, put the camera in a plastic bag until the temperature of the camera is close to the ambient temperature. 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.

Proper Care and Handling of Batteries Mishandling batteries may cause leakage, heat generation, re or explosion. Observe the following. Do not heat or expose to ame. Do not leave the batteries in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed. Do not splash batteries with water/sea water or wet battery terminals. Do not peel off or scratch the covering on batteries. Do not drop, throw or subject batteries to other strong impacts. Do not use batteries that show signs of leakage, deformation, discoloration etc. Do not store batteries in high humidity areas or high temperatures. Keep batteries away from children. Always use 2 new batteries of the same type when replacing batteries. Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time. Batteries may heat up soon after you start using the unit. Turn the camera off and wait until the battery temperature decreases before removing them. Battery performance deteriorates and recording/playback time decreases when
and discharges. We recommend charging the batteries after they are fully discharged. If you charge the batteries before they are fully discharged, it can reduce battery performance. This is called memory effect. If memory effect occurs, continue using the batteries until the camera stops working and then charge them fully. Battery performance will be restored after a few charges and discharges. Over time Ni-MH batteries naturally discharge and their capacity lowers even when they are not used. Once the batteries have reached full charge, do not continue to charge them. Do not peel off or scratch the covering on Ni-MH batteries. Read the operating instructions for the battery charger. Ni-MH batteries have a limited life. Battery capacity gradually decreases over time. If the length of time you can use the camera is extremely short even after fully charging the batteries, they may have exceeded their life span. Purchase new batteries. Battery life differs depending on the conditions of storage and usage and the environment. When not using the batteries for a long period of time If the batteries are left in the camera they will discharge. This is because a small electrical current continues to ow even when the camera is turned off. If the batteries continue to be left in the camera, they will discharge excessively and may become unusable even if charged. When storing the batteries for a long period of time, we recommend charging them once a year. Remove the batteries from the camera and store them again after they have completely discharged.
