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.
Replace the monitor cover when
transporting the camera or leaving it
unattended.
Batteries : Dirt on the battery terminals can
prevent the camera from functioning and
should be removed with a soft, dry cloth
before use.
Batteries may leak or explode if improperly
handled. Observe the following precautions
when handling batteries:
Turn the product off before replacing the
battery.
The battery may become hot when used for
extended periods. Observe due caution
when handling the battery.
Use only batteries approved for use in this
equipment.
Do not expose the battery to flame or
excessive heat.
After removing the battery from the camera,
be sure to replace the terminal cover.
Charge the battery before use. When taking
photographs on important occasions, ready
a spare EN-EL3e battery and keep it fully
charged. Depending on your location, it may
be difficult to purchase replacement
batteries on short notice.
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends
to decrease. Be sure the battery is fully
charged before taking photographs outside
in cold weather. Keep a spare battery in a
warm place and exchange the two as
necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may
recover some of its charge.
Continuing to charge the battery after it is
fully charged can impair battery
performance.
Used batteries are a valuable resource.
Please recycle used batteries in accord with
local regulations.
