• Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
• If NiMH batteries are not charged within the specified time, stop charging them and do not use them.
• Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.
• If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or deformed, or becomes abnormal in any other way during
operation, stop using the camera.
• If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and flush the affected area with
clean, running cold water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical attention
immediately.
• Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration.
• To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never leave the camera in the
places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:

damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause fires.
• Do not push or pull severely on the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the batteries. Select a cool, dry location for
