Before use
■
Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force,
or pressure.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions,
which may damage the lens, LCD monitor, or camera
body. This may also cause the camera to malfunction or
prevent recording.
• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface
• Sitting down with the camera in your pants pocket or
forcing it into a full bag
• Adding accessories to the camera strap
• Pushing with excessive force on the lens or LCD monitor
The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or
waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust
or sand, or where water can come into contact with the
camera.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions,
which present a risk that sand, water, or foreign material
may enter the camera through the lens or openings around
buttons. Be especially careful, because these conditions
may damage the camera and such damage may not be
repairable.
• In extremely dusty or sandy places
• In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be
exposed to water
■
Condensation (lens clouding)
●
Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to
sudden changes of temperature or humidity. Avoid these
conditions, which may make the lens dirty, cause mold, or
damage the camera.
●
If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait
about two hours before using it. Once the camera adjusts
to the surrounding temperature, clouded lenses will clear
naturally.
■
Always take a test shot first
Before important events when you will use the camera (at weddings, for example), always
take a test shot to make sure that pictures and sound record correctly.
■
No compensation for missed shots
We cannot compensate for missed shots if technical problems with the camera or card
prevent recording.
■
Carefully observe copyright laws
Unauthorized use of recordings which contain works with copyright for purposes other
than personal use is prohibited under copyright law. Recording of certain material may be
restricted even for the purpose of personal use.
