INTRODUCTION
■
Operating Environment
• The operating temperature range of the camera is 0°C to
40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.
– In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of
moisture or dust
– Near an air conditioner or in other areas subjected to
extreme temperature or humidity
– Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area
subjected to strong vibration
■
Condensation
• Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as when the
camera is moved from the outdoors on a cold winter day into
a warm room, can cause water droplets called “condensation”
to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera. Note
that condensation can cause malfunction of the camera. To
avoid condensation, place the camera into a plastic bag
before subjecting it to sudden temperature change. Wait until
the air in the bag has had enough time to become acclimated
to the new temperature before removing the camera. After
that, open the battery cover and leave it open for a few hours.
■
Power Supply
• Use only the special rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-40)
to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not
supported.
• The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock.
The date and time settings of the camera are cleared about
12 hours after power is totally cut off (from both the battery
and USB cradle). If this happens, be sure to reconfigure these
settings after power is restored (page 211).
■
Lens
• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the
lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause
malfunction.
• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of
images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight.
This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not
indicate malfunction of the camera.
