Retract the lens when carrying the camera.
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion unit. Its ability to generate power comes from
the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the
surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery will become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
•
Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or carry away from metallic objects (clips, etc.).
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if its body and the terminals are
damaged.
•
Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.
Take along charged spare batteries when going on longer excursions.
•
Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in low temperature conditions such
as at a ski resort.
•
When you travel, do not forget to take along the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge
the battery in the country that you are traveling in.
Dispose of unusable battery.
•
The battery has a limited life.
•
Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins etc.).
•
This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch such a
battery.
About the monitor/Viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the monitor/viewfinder screen.
However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is
not a malfunction. The monitor/viewfinder screen has more than 99.99% effective pixels
with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on
pictures on the internal memory or a card.
