Follow these guidelines when using your camera: 
n Keep camera away from high temperatures, excessive 
humidity, direct sunlight, dust, or excessive vibration. 
n Do not use camera outdoors if it is raining or snowing. 
n If the lens or viewfinder become dirty, clean with a lens brush or soft, clean cloth. Never touch the lens with your fingers. 
n If water or a foreign substance gets in the camera, turn the 
camera off immediately and remove the batteries. 
n Do not open the camera case or attempt your own repairs. 
High-voltage internal components may create risk of electrical shock or fire. 
n Do not open the battery compartment when the camera is on.n Transfer important images to your computer as soon as     possible to avoid losing image data. 
n Be sure to replace new batteries within two (2) minutes to 
avoid losing image data from SDRAM memory. 
n There is a very slight current-drain on the batteries at all 
times which keeps the memory active. If you are not going to use your camera for an extended period (i.e. a week) be sure to download your images to your PC and also remove the 
batteries to avoid possible power drain and image loss. 
n WARNING:  Handling the USB cables on this product may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.  Wash 
hands after handling.
