Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad. When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or during traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high. Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships. The temperature range for camera use is 0C to 40C (32F to 104F). The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at normal temperatures.
The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction. Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove the camera after temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized. Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops on the camera. Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break or malfunction. Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using a tripod.

Be sure to fully close the battery cover. The camera will not turn on if the battery cover is open.
Use the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional) when using the camera for a prolonged period. (p.42) Check the orientation of the batteries if the camera does not operate properly after replacing the batteries.

Battery Level Indicator

You can confirm remaining battery level by checking the w displayed on the status screen.
Status Screen w (Green) f (Orange) z (Red) Battery depleted Batteries are full. Batteries are running low. Batteries are almost empty. The camera turns off after displaying the message. Battery Level
f or z (Red) may appear even when the battery level is sufficient if the camera is used at low temperatures or when performing continuous shooting consecutively. In this situation, turn the camera off and on again. If w (Green) appears, you can use the camera.
