SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Camera notes:
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of 
locations:
•
  In the rain, very humid and dusty places.
•  In a place where the camera can be exposed directly to 
the sunlight or subject to high temperature, e.g. Inside a 
closed car in summer.
•

  In a place where the camera is subject to a high 
magnetic field, e.g. near motors, transformers or 
magnets. 
Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places where 
dripping water or sand may come in contact with the 
camera, which may cause irrepairable faults.
If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we 
suggest you remove the battery and the memory card from 
the camera and keep them in dry environment. 
If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location to a 
warm place, moisture may condense inside the camera. We 
suggest you wait for a while before turing on the camera. 
No compensation for loss of recordings. Loss of recordings 
cannot be compensated for if a malfunction of your camera 
or recording media, etc, makes the playback of recordings 
not possible.
Battery notes:
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak, 
become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions 
given below. •
  
Do not expose the batteries to water, and take particular 
care to keep the terminals dry.
•

  Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
•  Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the 
batteries. 
Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small 
children.
In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and the 
time for which they can be used shortens markedly. 
Memory card notes:
When using a new memory card, or a memory card has 
been initialized by a PC, be sure to format the card with 
your digital camera before using it.
To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s hard 
disk first.
Do not change or delete the folder names or file names 
in the memory card from your PC, as this may make it 
impossible to recognize or misinterpret the original folder 
or file in your camera.
The photos taken by this camera are stored in the auto-
generated folder in SD card. Please do not store photos 
that are not taken by this model of camera, as this may 
make it impossible to recognize the picture when the 
camera is in playback mode. Please do not expose the 
camera to harsh environments such as moisture or extreme 
temperatures, which may shorten the life of your camera or 
damage the batteries.
