Camera Basics
Learn about setting up the camera and performing basic camera operations.
z Handling Precautions
z The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or
subjecting it to strong impact.
z Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices that
generate strong electromagnetic elds. Strong electromagnetic elds
may cause malfunction or erase image data.
z If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe with
a dry soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard or apply
force.
z Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the camera or
screen.
z Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is difcult,
contact a Customer Support Help Desk.
z Store unused battery packs in a plastic bag or other container. To
maintain battery performance if you will not use the battery pack for
some time, about once a year charge it and then use the camera until it
runs out of power before storing the battery pack.

Charging the Battery Pack
z To protect the battery pack and keep it in optimal condition, do not
charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.
z The charger can be used in areas with 100–240 V AC power
(50/60 Hz). For power outlets in a different format, use a commercially
available adapter for the plug. Never use an electrical transformer
designed for traveling, which may damage the battery pack.
