CAUTION

Caution concerning the flash

• Be careful when taking pictures at close range.
• Do not take pictures of people's faces (babies in particular) at close range. If the flash goes off too close to someone's eyes it may cause a loss of vision. In particular, when taking pictures of babies, be sure that the distance is at least 1m .

Be careful when handling the unit

• Do not use in an unstable position. If you lose your balance, you might get hurt.
• Be careful that no foreign substance (dirt, rain, sand) can enter the unit, particularly when the battery cover or lens barrier is open, as it may cause damage.
• To prevent damage, do not drop the camera or subject it to severe shock or vibration.
• This camera is not water-resistant. Do not put it in water, and be careful to protect it from rain, sea water, etc.
• Do not use the camera outside during a storm or when there is lightning.
• When replacing the batteries, make sure the power is OFF. If it is left ON, it may damage the internal circuits.

Storage environment

To avoid damage or mis-operation of the camera, only store it where the temperature is -20 60^ and the humidity 10 90% .
- Do not store in humid places, as condensation may form and cause damage.
- To prevent injuries or accidents, keep the camera out of the reach of children.

Usage environment

• Do not use where there may be a large concentration of flammable or explosive gases, as it may cause a fire or explosion.
• To avoid damage or mis-operation of the camera, use it only if the temperature is 0 40^ and the humidity 30 90% .
• Do not move the camera suddenly from a hot to cold place, or vice versa. 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:

• 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.

PRECAUTIONS (Cont.)

CAUTION

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.

Do not use in an airtight device

It may cause the batteries to leak and/or the camera to be damaged.

Do not recharge alkaline or lithium batteries

• Do not attempt to recharge Lithium batteries as this could result in serious injury.

Keep out of the reach of children

• Make sure children do not take the batteries out when using the camera. If a child is going to use the camera, be sure to teach the child proper usage according to this manual.
• When disposing of old batteries, be sure to do so in accordance with all applicable regulations in your area.

Precautions on using accessories

• Be sure to use only the supplied accessories, or accessories recommended by the manufacturer, otherwise fire, electric shock or damage may result. For more information, please consult the dealer where the unit was purchased.
• Do not keep the AC adaptor connected when not using the camera, otherwise fire, electric shock or damage may result.
• 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)

It 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.
