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.
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.
No compensation for loss of recordings. Loss of recordings cannot be compensated for if a malfunction of your camera or recording media, etc, makes the playback of recordings not possible.
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.
- Use GE charger in the package to charge the lithium battery only (for E and J series).
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 has been initialized by a PC, 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 and then format memory card if upgrade the firmware.
Do not change or delete the directory names, or file names in the memory card from your PC, as this may make it impossible to use the card in your camera.

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 34.
LCD Screen notes:
Extremely high-precision technology had 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.

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 urgent action indicated.
- 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 liquid crystal is swallowed, flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical assistance.
