• Take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package

with you when traveling. This will be useful if you experience problems
abroad.

• 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 during traveling). Contents of a recording such as images and
sounds cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or data transfer from
your camera to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your
camera or recording medium (SD Memory Card), etc.

• The lens on this camera is not exchangeable. The lens is not removable.
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or

benzene.

• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular

care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot
inside.

• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be

avoided. Remove the camera from its case and store in a well-ventilated
place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any

other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks

or pressure. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the
camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.

• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C

(32°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperature but will

return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.

• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low

temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not
a fault.

• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain

high-performance.
