• Avoid any blows or jolts that may affect the battery and do not crush it or drop it.

2.5. Safety precautions

Take the following safety precautions in order to avoid damage to your camera and to keep it in perfect condition.

• Store in a dry place
• This camera is not watertight and will not function properly if it is immersed in water or if liquids get into the inner workings.
• Keep away from damp, salt and dust Wipe off salt and dust with a light, damp cloth if you have been using the camera on the beach or at the seaside. Carefully dry the camera afterwards.

• Keep away from strong magnetic fields. Never place the camera too close to devices that have strong electromagnetic fields, e.g. electric motors. Strong electromagnetic fields may cause the camera to malfunction or interfere with data recording.

• Avoid excessive heat

• Do not use or store the camera in direct sunlight or high temperatures. This can cause the battery to leak or the case to deform.
• Avoid extreme fluctuations in temperature If you take the product from a cold environment into a warm one or vice versa, drops of water can form outside and inside the product which can cause malfunctions and can damage the product. Wait until the product has reached ambient temperature before switching it on. Using a carrying case or plastic case offers a certain amount of protection against fluctuations in temperature.
• Do not drop the product

• Jarring or vibrations resulting from a fall can cause malfunctions. Loop the carrying strap around your wrist when you carry the camera.

• Do not remove the battery when data are being processed

• When image data are being recorded to memory cards or deleted, switching off the power supply can result in data loss or cause damage to the internal circuit or the memory.
• Treat the lens and all moving parts carefully Do not touch the lens or the lens barrel. Take care when handling the memory card and the battery. These parts are not designed for high levels of stress.
• Batteries
• At low temperatures, there can be a sharp drop in battery capacity. If you take photographs in cold temperatures, keep a warm replacement battery in reserve.
• If the contacts on the battery are dirty, clean them with a dry, clean cloth or use an eraser to remove residues.
• Memory cards
• Switch the power supply off before you insert or remove the memory card. Otherwise the memory card may become unstable. Memory

cards may heat up during use. Always take care when removing the memory cards from the camera.

PLEASE NOTE!

Memory cards are consumable items and need to be replaced after relatively long periods of use.

After a long period of use, the photographs/recordings may become corrupted. Therefore, regularly check the performance of the card and replace it when necessary.

2.6. Never carry out repairs yourself

WARNING!

Never try to open or repair the product yourself. There is a risk of electric shock!

Setting Meaning
Scene Mode	Here you can select from the different shooting modes.
Photo Size	The image size function is used to set the resolution before taking a picture. Changing the image size will have an effect on the number of images that can be saved to the memory card. The higher the resolution, the more memory space is required.
	20 M 515 x 3864
	8 M 3264 x 2448
	5 M 2592 x 1944
	3 M 2048 x 1536

	16:9 (14 M) 5152 x 2898
	16:9 (2 M) 1920 x 1080
	1:1 2992 x 2992
Quality	The quality setting determines how the recorded data is compressed. The higher the quality, the more memory space the images require. Superfine, highest quality Fine, medium quality Normal, normal quality.
White Balance	AWB - Auto White Balance - the white balance is automatically set by the camera. Daylight - ideal for bright, sunny conditions. Clousy - ideal for overcast conditions. Tungsten - ideal for indoor shots in artificial light with standard light bulbs or halogen lighting without a flash. fluorescent_1 - ideal for indoor shots with blueish shimmering lighting conditions. Fluorescent_1 - ideal for indoor shots with reddish shimmering lighting conditions.
White Balance	Custom - used when the light source cannot be ascertained. Press ➔ so that the camera can automatically select a suitable setting for the white balance based on the relevant conditions. It is advisable here to set up the camera on a white sheet of paper and press the ➔ button.
ISO (light sensitivity)	This setting changes the sensor's sensitivity to light. A higher value increases light sensitivity but generates more noise which can have a negative impact on the image quality. It is therefore important to select the lowest possible ISO value for the conditions. Auto - automatic ISO setting. ISO 100 - sets the sensitivity to ISO 100. ISO 200 - sets the sensitivity to ISO 200. ISO 400 - sets the sensitivity to ISO 400. ISO 800 - sets the sensitivity to ISO 800. ISO 1600 - sets the sensitivity to ISO 1600. ISO 3200 - sets the sensitivity to ISO 3200 ISO 6400 - sets the sensitivity to ISO 6400.
Maximum ISO Auto	With this feature, the camera can set the ISO value automatically between ISO 100 and the maximum sensitivity value according to the exposure conditions. The available options are 200, 400 and 800 (standard).
Metering	The measurement method for the calculation of the exposure is defined here: Multi - selects an exposure based on the measurement results at several points in the shooting range. Center - the light in the entire shooting range is measured but the measurement is weighted towards the values near the centre. Spot - an exposure is selected on the basis of one single measurement in the centre of the picture.
Exposure Bracketing	Use this feature to take photos with different exposure compensation levels. When using bracketing, a series of three photos is taken in the following order: standard exposure, under-exposed and over-exposed. The available settings are: Off, ±0.3, ±0.7 and ±1.0.
AF Area	Here you can select the autofocus (AF) range. Face Tracking - the camera automatically recognises faces. Wide - a wide area is put in focus. Center - the centre is put in focus. Tracking AF - the camera focuses on the moving subject and the focus is maintained.
