Safety Precautions
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the following safety
precautions. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.
The safety precautions noted in this guide are intended to instruct you in the safe and
correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to
yourself, other persons, and equipment.
Preventing Malfunction
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating
strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions
or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation
Moving the camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation
(water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing
the camera in an airtight, plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly
before removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation inside the camera.
Continued use may damage the camera. Remove the memory card and batteries from the
camera, open the camera in a warm dry environment, and wait until the moisture
evaporates completely before resuming use.
