     IMPORTANT! 
    Be sure to keep the strap around your wrist when
    using the camera to protect against accidentally
    dropping it.
    The supplied strap is intended for use with this
    camera only. Do not use it for any other purpose.
    Never swing the camera around by the strap.
    Attaching the Strap
    Attach the strap to the strap ring as shown in the
    illustration.
     IMPORTANT! 
    Pressing [] (DISP) will not change monitor screen
    contents during standby or recording of an audio
    snapshot.
    You can use [] (DISP) to turn off the monitor screen
    only when voice recording in the REC mode. You
    cannot turn off the monitor screen for any other
    recording function.

    mode toggles the monitor screen on (“indicators on”)
    and off. While a Voice Recording file is displayed in
    the PLAY mode, pressing [] (DISP) toggles
    between “indicators on” and “indicators off”.
    When playing back the content of a Voice Recording
    file while “indicators off” is selected (Voice Recording
    file icon only on the monitor screen), the monitor
    screen will go black about two seconds after you
    press [SET] to start playback. The Voice Recording
    file icon (indicators off) will reappear after playback is
    complete.
