• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still 
working 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 a computer, etc. is not possible 
due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
• 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 is recommended.
• The AC plug adapter D-PL135 is designed for exclusive use with the Power  Adapter D-PA135. Do not use it with other devices.
•
Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken 
regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or  pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof 
performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is 
subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is 
subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure, take your camera to 
your nearest service center and have it checked.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to 40°C (14°F  to 104°F).
• The display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at 
normal temperatures.
• The response speed of the display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is  due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a malfunction.

formatted by the camera or computer.
r  appears on the display when the card is 
write-protected.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately  after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Keep the battery cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory Card or 
turn the camera off while the data is being played back or saved to the 
card, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable, as this 
may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it 
away from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage  the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be lost in the following 
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical  interference.
(3) when the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the batteries are removed  while the card is being accessed.
• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become 
unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a 
computer.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used  on another camera. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.167).
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording  may stop while recording a movie even if there is adequate space in the 
memory, or image capture or playback may take a long time.
• Please note that deleting data, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or the 
built-in memory does not completely erase the original data. Deleted files 
can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. It is 
user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.
