• 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 when traveling). Recorded data
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.
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery
performance. Avoid storing in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long
time, the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s
usage span.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed
exclusively for the battery charger D-BC90. Do not use it with
other devices.
• 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 –10°C to 40°C (14°F to
104°F).
• 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 it 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 the
camera to dry off any rain or water drops.
• Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it
to break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.
