- If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do

not let water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in
failure or may permanently damage the unit.

å

Extremes in temperature may cause problems.

- If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid envi-

ronment, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry.
If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until
all moisture is dispersed. Moisture built up can also occur on the
memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the
memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

Caution on Using the Lens

- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the discol-

oration and deterioration of the image sensor.

- Take care not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the sur-

face of the lens.

If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric dis-
charge can occur. It is a good idea to remove the battery and the
memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an extended
