Camera notes:
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations:

• In a place where the camera can be exposed directly to the
sunlight or subject to high temperature, e.g. Inside a closed
car in summer.

Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places where
dripping water or sand may come in contact with the camera,
which may cause irrepairable faults.
If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we
suggest you remove the battery and the memory card from
the camera and keep them in dry environment.
If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location to a
warm place, moisture may condense inside the camera. We
suggest you wait for a while before turing on the camera.

remove the battery and memory card. Allow to air-dry for at
least 24 hours before using the camera again.
If camera overheats, while in use or charging, disconnect
charger and carefully remove batteries
Battery notes:
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak, become
hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given below.
• Do not expose the batteries to water, and take particular
care to keep the terminals dry.

• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the batteries.
Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.
In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and the
time for which they can be used shortens markedly.
Memory card notes:
When using a new memory card, or a memory card that has been
