Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is stillworking properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as
at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to acomputer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera orrecording media (memory cards), etc.

About the Battery and Charger• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use isrecommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively forthe battery charger D-BC109. Do not use it with other devices.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do notleave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Usea cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,
automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return tonormal at normal temperatures.
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.

46• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside andoutside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings areequalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry
