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

6
Appendix• 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-BC68P. 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.

92• 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
off any rain or water drops.
• Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to
break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when usinga tripod.

Cleaning Your Camera• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol,and benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use aspray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Please contact your nearest service center for professional cleaning of
the CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years tomaintain high performance.

Storing Your Camera• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in hightemperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where
it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

About Eye-Fi Cards• The SD Memory Card isequipped with a write-protect
switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK prevents new data frombeing recorded on the card, thestored data from being deleted,and the card from being
Write-protect
formatted by the camera or
switchcomputer.
• The SD Memory Card may be
hot when removing the card immediately after using the camera.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the power while the cardis being accessed. This may cause the data to be lost or the card to bedamaged.
