It may cause the formation of condensation inside the unit that may damage it. To prevent the formation of condensation, put the camera in a plastic bag, etc. to protect it and wait until the camera has reached the ambient temperature before taking it out. If used in low temperatures, the batteries will have a shorter life span than normal. Precautions when handling the batteries To prevent leakage, fire, or damage, please read the instructions carefully and observe the following points: When you use the camera for a long time, the bottom of the camera heats up. If your skin is in contact with the bottom of the camera for too long, you may get a minor burn. Do not heat or throw the batteries into a fire. Do not disassemble, modify or solder. Do not install with inverted polarity (+, ­). Do not let metal objects touch the contacts. Do not store or carry loosely with necklaces or hairpins. Do not use old batteries together with new ones, and do not use different types of batteries at the same time. Do not store them in humid places as they may corrode. Do not use if something seems to be wrong. Do not use if there is leaking, swelling, a rise in temperature, or any other abnormal condition. When using them for the first time, if there are signs of corrosion or if they are warm, please take them back to where they were bought. NEVER use any battery whose body is not fully covered by the insulating sheet or the sheet is torn as it may cause leak, fire or injury. Some commercially available batteries are also partially covered, or not covered at all by the insulating sheet. Never use these batteries. If there is a leak If the liquid gets into your eyes, do not rub them. Rinse with clean water, then seek medical attention immediately. If the liquid gets in contact with your skin or clothing, rinse with clean water. If the liquid has leaked inside the battery compartment, clean it carefully with a wet rag before inserting new batteries. When the batteries are dead, take them out of the camera If old batteries are left inside the camera they may leak. If the camera is going into storage or if you intend not to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries. 4 CAUTION Do not use in an airtight device If may cause the batteries to leak and/or the camera to be damaged.

To prevent electric shock and damage, do not plug, connect or handle the AC adaptor with wet hands. Do not modify, bend forcibly, pull strongly, scratch, etc., or otherwise alter the AC adaptor power cord. Also, do not put heavy objects on the power cord, or place it close to a heat source as it may result in a fire or electric shock. Points to verify before using the camera If taking particularly important pictures or if you have not used the camera for a long period, first confirm that it functions properly, or consult an Authorized Service Centre. We decline all responsibility concerning the loss of data, down time, loss of revenue or any other direct or indirect damage or claims caused by this camera. Do not use or store in a hot place (e.g. inside a closed car on a hot and sunny day) If may shorten their service life. Store in a dry cool place protected from direct sunlight. Notes on display and backlight The Control panel and the fluorescent lamps used in the LCD monitor have a limited service life. If they begin to darken or flicker, contact your nearest service center. In cold conditions, the display backlight may be slow to come on or may change color suddenly. To avoid this, keep the camera warm when using in cold temperatures. Backlight performance will return to normal under normal temperature conditions. When the color LCD monitor shows different pictures, some pixels may not change color and remain on or off. This phenomenon may be due to a lag in some circuits, but is considered to be within the normal operating tolerances of the LCD monitor. In addition, the brightness of the color LCD monitor may vary between pictures. 5 These instructions are only for quick reference.
