HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

HOW TO STORE THE CAMERA

■

If you intend to store the camera for a long time, remove the battery.

■

To avoid growth of fungus, store the camera and lens in a dry, cool and

ventilated place, with a drying agent such as silica gel. Keep your equipment
away from chemicals.

NOTE ON THE TFT COLOR LCD MONITOR

■

A few pixels may always be lit or may never light on the LCD monitor. This is

not a failure or malfunction. Images recorded with the camera will not be
affected.

■

Excessive rubbing of, pushing on or impact to the LCD monitor may cause

failure.

■

Because of the normal physical characteristics of the liquid crystal, the

reaction of the display may become slow at low temperatures. At high
temperatures, the display may become dark, but it will return to normal at room
temperature.

NOTES ON CF CARD AND MICRODRIVE

Unlike a Microdrive

a CF card is resistant to vibration and it is the optimal

recording medium for a digital camera. Nevertheless the effects of strong shock,
static electricity or magnetism, may cause the data memorized by the CF card to
be lost. A Microdrive

is a hard disk. Shock, vibration, static electricity, and

magnetism, may cause data loss and may damage the Microdrive. Therefore,
careful handling is required and caution is especially necessary while writing, or
reading data.

■

Do not leave the CF card or Microdrive in direct sunlight or near a heating

device.

■

Avoid storing CF cards and Microdrives in environments of high temperature

and humidity or where static electricity or electromagnetic fields may be
generated

■

For proper usage of the CF card and Microdrive, please refer to their

instruction manuals.

■

The “Delete” feature of the Camera and PC may not delete the data in the

memory card completely some data might still remain. If you wish to remove all
data from card securely, please use third party software.
