Precautions

x Do not use/store the camera in the

following places

• In an extremely hot, dry or humid place

In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the

camera body may become deformed and this

may cause a malfunction.

• Under direct sunlight or near a heater

The camera body may become discolored or

deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.

• In a location subject to rocking vibration

• Near strong magnetic place

• In sandy or dusty places

Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the

camera. This may cause the camera to

malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction

cannot be repaired.

x On carrying

Be sure to attach the lens cap or body cap when

not using the camera. When attaching the body

cap, remove all the dust from the cap before

placing it on the camera.

x On cleaning

Cleaning the LCD monitor

Wipe the screen surface with an LCD cleaning kit

(not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc.

Cleaning the lens

• When cleaning the lens surface, remove dust

using a blower brush. In case of dust that sticks

to the surface, wipe it off with a soft cloth or

tissue paper slightly moistened with lens

cleaning solution. Wipe in a spiral pattern from

the center to the outside. Do not spray lens

cleaning solution directly onto the lens surface.

• Do not touch the inside of the camera, such as

the shutter curtain, or the mirror. Since dust on

the mirror or around the mirror may affect the

auto focus system, blow away dust using a

blower. If dust lands on the CCD, it may appear

on the photo image. Turn the camera to the

cleaning mode (page 103), then clean it using a

blower. Do not use a spray blower to clean the

inside of the camera. Using this may cause a

malfunction.

• Do not use a cleaning solution containing

organic solvents, such as thinner, or benzine.

Cleaning the camera surface

Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly

moistened with water, then wipe the surface with

a dry cloth. Do not use the following as they may

damage the finish or the casing.

• Chemical products such as thinner, benzine,

alcohol, disposable cloths, insect repellent,

sunscreen or insecticide, etc.

• Do not touch the camera with the above on your

hand.

• Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber

or vinyl for a long time.

x On operating temperatures

Your camera is designed for use under the

temperatures between 0 and 40°C (32 and 104°F)

(When using a Microdrive: 5 and 40°C (41 and

104°F)). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places

that exceed this range is not recommended.

x On moisture condensation

If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a

warm location, moisture may condense inside or

outside the camera. This moisture condensation

may cause a malfunction of the camera.

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 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

shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, you

will be unable to record clear images.
