Technical Notes
Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your
Safety” (Aviii–x) when using or storing the device.
The Camera
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition, do not
touch or apply force to the lens or lens cover.
Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a
cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place
the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in
temperature.
Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields

electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Doing so could result in loss of data or camera
malfunction.
Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when

produce a white blur effect in photographs.
Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source or
Memory Card
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved or
deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in
