Care

• Note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, image quality may deteriorate.
• When dust or dirt gets on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, and either use a blower (available commercially) to blow it off, or a soft cloth to gently dust it off.
• Wipe the lens particularly carefully after use at the beach or around chemicals.
• If the camera fails to work properly, consult your nearest dealer or service center.
• Never disassemble the camera by yourself, as this is dangerous.
• Do not get volatile substances, such as thinner, benzine, or pesticides on the camera. This may cause a change in quality, paint to peel, etc.
• If the camera exterior becomes dirty, wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth such as a glasses wiping cloth, or wipe it using a thoroughly wrung-out wet cloth. Do not use solvents, as doing so may cause the external surface of the camera to corrode.

Use and Storage

• Avoid using or storing the camera in the following kinds of places, as this may damage the camera.
  • Places with high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in humidity or temperature
  • Places with large amounts of sand or dust
  • Places with significant vibration
  • Places where it will be in contact with chemicals such as insect repellent or products made from rubber, vinyl, etc. for a long period of time
  • Places where strong magnetism is emitted (next to monitors, transformers, magnets, etc.)
• Store the camera in a dust-free camera bag, etc. to prevent dust or dirt from getting on the camera. Also, avoid carrying the camera without a case (in your pocket, etc.) to help to keep free from dust or fiber particles.

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe use of the camera.

　Danger



• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or alter the camera yourself. The high-voltage circuitry in the camera poses significant electrical hazard.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter, or directly solder the battery. Doing so may cause the battery to leak, overheat, ignite, or rupture.



• Do not put the battery in a fire, attempt to heat it, or use or leave it in a high temperature environment such as next to a fire or inside a car. Also, do not put it into water or the sea or allow it to get wet. Doing so may cause the battery to leak, overheat, ignite, or rupture.
• Do not attempt to pierce, hit, compress, drop, or subject the battery to any other severe impact or force. Doing so may cause the battery to leak, overheat, ignite, or rupture.
• Do not use a battery that is significantly damaged or deformed. Doing so may cause the battery to leak, overheat, ignite, or rupture.
• Do not short-circuit the + and – contacts of the battery with wires and other metal objects. Also, do not carry or store the battery together with metal objects such as ballpoint pens and necklaces. Doing so may cause the battery to leak, overheat, ignite, or rupture.
• Stop use immediately if you notice something unusual such as an abnormal smell, smoke, or overheating. Ask your nearest dealer or service center for repair.



• If any fluid that has leaked from the battery comes in contact with your eyes, do not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately.

　Warning



• Turn off the power immediately in the event of abnormalities such as smoke or unusual odors being emitted. Remove the battery as soon as possible, being careful to avoid electric shocks or burns. If you are drawing power from a household electrical outlet, be sure to unplug the power cord. Failure to observe this precaution may cause a fire or electric shock. Then contact your nearest dealer or service center. Do not continue using the camera if it has a failure or malfunction.
• Turn off the power immediately if any metallic object, water, liquid or other foreign object gets into the camera. And contact your nearest dealer or service center. Do not continue using the camera if it has a failure or malfunction.
• If the LCD panel is damaged, avoid any contact with the liquid crystal inside it. Follow the appropriate emergency measures below.
  • If any of the liquid crystal gets on your skin, wipe it off and rinse the affected area thoroughly with water, then wash well with soap.
  • If any of the liquid crystal gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
  • If any of the liquid crystal is swallowed, rinse the mouth out thoroughly with water. Have the person who swallowed the liquid crystal drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting, and get medical attention immediately.
• To avoid the risk of small accessories such as the battery and memory card from being swallowed by mistake, keep them out of the reach of small children. If an accessory is accidentally swallowed, it is harmful to the human body. Get medical attention immediately.



• Follow these precautions to prevent the battery from leaking, overheating, igniting, or rupturing.
  • Do not use a battery other than those specifically recommended for the camera.
  • Do not carry or store the battery together with metal objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, coins, and hairpins.
  • If leakage of battery fluid, a strange odor, color change, etc. is noticed during use or during charging, remove the battery from the camera or battery charger immediately and keep it away from fire.
• Keep the camera out of the reach of children. Young children cannot understand the information in “Safety Precautions” and “Cautions on Use”, which may cause an accident.



• Do not touch the internal components of the camera if they become exposed as a result of being dropped or damaged. The high-voltage circuitry in the camera poses significant electrical hazard. Contact your nearest dealer or service center if it is damaged.



• Do not use the camera near flammable gases, gasoline, benzine, thinner, or similar substances to avoid the risk of explosion, fire, or burns.
• Do not use the camera in locations such as airplanes where usage is restricted or prohibited as this may lead to disasters or accidents.
• Do not use, store, or leave the camera in a hot place such as near naked flames, place exposed to direct sunlight, or in a vehicle parked in direct sunlight. Doing so may cause the camera to explode, resulting in fire or injury.
• Stop charging if the charging does not complete within the specified charging time.
• Never put the battery in a microwave oven or high-pressure container.

　Caution



• Contact with fluid leaking from the battery can lead to a burn. If you touch the fluid, rinse the area with water immediately. (Do not use soap.) If the battery starts to leak, remove it immediately from the camera and wipe the battery chamber thoroughly before replacing it with a new battery. Do not continue using the camera if it has a failure or malfunction.



• Do not get the camera wet. In addition, do not operate it with wet hands. Both pose the risk of electric shocks.
• Do not use the camera wrapped in a cloth, etc. Doing so may cause a fire.
• Do not allow the metal of the terminals to short-circuit. Doing so may cause a fire.
• Do not use the camera in wet places like kitchens where it will be exposed to oily smoke and humidity. Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.
