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 from the camera and keep them in dry environment.
! 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.
! If water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the battery and memory card. Allow to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.
If camera overheats, while in use or charging, disconnect charger and carefully remove batteries
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.
! 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 that has been used or initialized by a P.C. or a different model camera, 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 first.
Do not change or delete the folder names or file names in the memory card from your PC, as this may cause a memory card read error to occur when viewing photos on the memory card from the playback mode in your camera.
The photos taken by this camera are stored in the auto-generated folder in the SD card. Please do not store photos that are not taken by this model of camera, as this may cause a read error to occur when the camera is in playback mode.
! Please do not expose the camera to harsh environments such as moisture or extreme temperatures, which may shorten the life of your camera or damage the batteries.
Do not remove memory card without turning the digital camera off to avoid possible damage of your memory card.
Do not switch off the digital camera when a writing process is w. occurring to avoid incomplete data writing and damaged pictures.
! Align the memory card correctly before inserting it into the camera's SD card slot. Do not force the memory card into the cameras' SD card slot.

About the LCD Screen
When you turn the camera on, various icons are shown on the LCD screen to indicate the current camera settings and status. To learn more about the displayed icons, see "LCD Screen display" on page 30.
LCD Screen notes:
Extremely high-precision technology has been used to manufacture the LCD screen so that most of the pixels are operational for use. However, there may be some minute points (black, white, red, blue or green) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and the recording is not affected in any way.

Avoid exposing the LCD screen to water; please remove any moisture on the LCD screen with a soft, dry cleaning cloth.

If the LCD monitor is damaged, take particular care with the liquid crystal in the monitor. If any of the following situations arise, take the recommended immediate action indicated below:
- If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin, wipe the area with a cloth and then wash thoroughly with soap and running water.
- If liquid crystal gets into your eye, flush the affected eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
- If the liquid crystal display or the liquid inside it are swallowed, flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical assistance immediately.
