Precautions

Cleaning the LCD screen 
Wipe the screen surface with a cleaning 
cloth (not supplied) or a LCD cleaning kit 
(not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, 
etc. 

Cleaning the camera surface 
Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth 
slightly moistened with water, then wipe the 
surface dry. Do not use any type of solvent 
such as thinner, alcohol or benzene as this 
may damage the finish or the casing. 

After using your camera at the 
seashore or other dusty locations 
Clean your camera carefully. Otherwise, the 
salty air may corrode the metal fittings or 
dust may enter the inside of your camera, 
causing a malfunction.

Your camera is designed for use between the 
temperatures of 32˚F and 104˚F (0˚C and 
40˚C). Recording in extremely cold or hot 
places that exceed this range is not 
recommended.

If the camera is brought directly from a cold 
to a warm location, or is placed in a very 
damp room, moisture may condense inside 
or outside the camera. Should this occur, the 
camera will not operate properly.

Moisture condensation occurs 
easily when: 
• The camera is brought from a cold location 

such as a ski slope into a warmly heated 
room. 

• The camera is taken from an air-

conditioned room or car interior to the hot 
outdoors, etc.

How to prevent moisture 
condensation 
When bringing the camera from a cold place 
to a warm place, seal the camera in a plastic 
bag and allow it to adapt to conditions at the 
new location over a period of time (about an 
hour).

If moisture condensation occurs 
Turn off the camera and wait about an hour 
for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if 
you attempt to record with moisture 
remaining inside the lens, you will be 
unable to record clear images.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet 

(mains) when you are not using the unit for 
a long time.

• To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), 

pull it out by the plug. Never pull the 
power cord (mains lead) itself.

• Do not operate the unit with a damaged 

cord or if the unit has been dropped or 
damaged.

• Do not bend the power cord (mains lead) 

forcibly, or place a heavy object on it. This 
will damage the cord and may cause fire or 
electrical shock.

• Prevent metallic objects from coming into 

contact with the metal parts of the 
connecting section. If this happens, a short 
may occur and the unit may be damaged.

• Always keep metal contacts clean.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the 

unit.

• While the unit is in use, particularly during 

charging, keep it away from AM receivers 
and video equipment. AM reception and 
video operation are disturbed.

• The unit becomes warm during use. This is 

not a malfunction.

• Do not place the unit in locations that are:

— Extremely hot or cold
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Vibrating
