NOTE IN USING
Caution!
This camera is composed of very sophisticated parts.
If exposed to any of the following unsuitable environmental conditions, the camera
operations will be impaired.
The camera should be kept away from:
- Severe changes in temperature and humidity.
- Dust and dirt
- Direct sunlight or the inside of a vehicle in hot weather.
- Do not place the camera in an environment where there is high magnetism or excessive
vibration.
- An area with high explosives or highly flammable materials
- Pesticides, etc
Never bring into contact with sand
If sand gets into electronic devices like a Digital camera, it can cause severe malfunctions.
Please ensure that there is no contact with sand or similar particles.
Always be careful not to expose the camera to extremes in temperature.
If the device is transferred from a very cold to a very hot environment or vice versa,
condensation can occur inside the device.
If moisture gets into the camera, turn off the device and wait about 1 hour until all moisture
has evaporated.
Similarly, moisture build up can occur in the SmartMedia
TM card.
If this happens, turn off the device and remove the Memory Card. Wait until the moisture has
dispersed.
Caution with the Lens.
Avoid direct sunlight to lens. Direct sunlight can affect Complementary CCD(Charge
coupled device) by causing overheating and fading.
If the Digital camera is not used for a long period, electric discharge can occur. Please make
sure the device, batteries, and SmartMedia
TM card are stored separately.
Maintenance
To clean the Lens or the LCD panel, a soft brush should be used. If this does not work, lens-
cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used.
Clean the camera with a soft cloth or a mild detergent.
Please ensure that it is a mild detergent otherwise it may cause deterioration, deformation or
paint flaking off.
The LCD monitor can be damaged very easily. Please ensure that it does experience any
sharp impact.
