Cautions for Use
Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as 
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
•
If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be 
disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
•Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely 
affecting the pictures and sound.
•Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields 
created by speakers or large motors.
•Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the 
camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
•If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning 
properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (optional). Then 
reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
•If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may 
be adversely affected.
Always use the supplied cords and cables. If you use optional accessories, use the 
cords and the cables supplied with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
•
If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the 
surface finish may peel off.
•Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.

liquids, sand and other foreign matter to get into the space around the lens, buttons etc.
•Do not touch the lens barrier A. (Doing so may damage the 
camera. Be careful when taking the camera out of a bag etc.)
•If the lens gets dirty, turn on the power and deploy the lens 
barrel. Then hold the lens barrel between your fingers and 
lightly wipe the lens surface with a soft dry cloth. (If you leave 
fingerprints on or otherwise dirty the lens, the pictures you 
take may look whiter than n ormal.)
(B: 
Camera ON/OFF switch)
•Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun.•Do not strongly shake or bump the camera by dropping or 
hitting it. Do not subject to strong pressure.
The camera may malfunction, recording pictures may become 
impossible, or the lens, the LCD monitor or the external case may be damaged.
•We strongly recommend you do not leave the camera in your trousers pocket when you sit 
down or forcefully insert it into a full or tight bag etc. 
Damage to the LCD monitor or personal injury may result.
•Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that’s included with your camera. While being 
stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and damage it.
•Be particularly careful in the following places as they may cause this unit to 
malfunction.
–Places with a lot of sand or dust.–Places where water can come into contact with this unit such as when using it on a rainy day 
or on a beach.
•This camera is not waterproof. If water or seawater splashes on the camera, use a dry 
cloth to wipe the camera body carefully.
If the unit does not operate normally, please contact the dealer where you purchased the 
camera or the repair service center.
About Condensation (When the lens is fogged up)
•Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of 
condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
•If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will 
disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient 
temperature.

•Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the LCD 
monitor and it may malfunction.
•If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly darker 
than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal 
temperature of the camera increases.
•Do not press against the lens with excessive force.•Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from the sun may cause it

About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen. 
However, there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. 
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective 
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be 
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes 
from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to 
the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, 
the operating time of the battery will become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
•
Store the removed battery in the battery case (supplied).
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the 
body of the battery and the terminals are damaged.
•
Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the 
camera.
Bring charged spare batteries when going out.
•Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in 
low temperature conditions such as at a ski resort.
•When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge 
the battery in the country that you are traveling in.
Dispose of unusable battery.
•The battery has a limited life.•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.•The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the 
RBRC hotline at 1-800-822-8837 for information.
Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as 
necklaces, hairpins etc.).
•
This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch a 
battery.
•If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed.•Keep the charger 1 m (3.28 feet) or more away from radios.•The charger may generate whirring sounds when it is being used. This is not a malfunction.•After use, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet. (A very 
small amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)
•Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean.
