Storage: To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. If the
product will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage
and store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not, however, store the
camera case in a plastic bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that
desiccant gradually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular
intervals.
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn
the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting it away.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Replace the terminal cover before putting the battery away.
Notes on the monitor: The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do
not light. This is common to all TFT LCD monitors and does not indicate a malfunction.
Images recorded with the product are unaffected.
Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or
lint on the monitor can be removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by wiping
lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken
to avoid injury from broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touching
the skin or entering the eyes and mouth.
