Operating precautions
When using the camera in the rain, snow, or at
the beach, do not allow water to get into it.
• Doing so will cause damage to the camera and
the memory card. (This may result in irreparable
damage.)
Keep the camera away from devices (such
as TV sets and video game machines) that
generate magnetic fields.
• Using the camera on top of or near a television
set may cause distortions in the image or sound
due to the electromagnetic waves that the
television emits.
• The powerful magnetic fields generated by
speakers or large motors may damage recorded
content or distort images.
• The electromagnetic waves emitted from a
microcomputer may adversely affect the camera
and cause images or sound to be distorted.
• If the camera is adversely affected by devices
that generate magnetic fields and it no longer
operates properly, turn it off and remove the
battery or unplug the AC adaptor from the power
outlet. Then install the battery again or reconnect
the AC adaptor. After this, turn the camera back
on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters
or high-voltage equipment.
• Using the camera near radio transmitters or high-
voltage equipment may adversely affect the
recorded images or sound.
Do not allow sand or dust to get into the
camera when using it at the beach or other
similar places.
• Sand and dust can damage the camera or
memory card. (Be careful when inserting or
removing a memory card.)

AC adaptor (battery charger) and battery
• If the <CHARGE> lamp continues to flash even
when the battery temperature is normal, the
battery or AC adaptor (battery charger) might be
damaged. Contact your dealer.
• The battery takes longer to charge when it is
warm.
• Using the AC adaptor (battery charger) near
radios may distort their sound. Keep the AC
adaptor (battery charger) 1 meter or more away
from radios.
• The AC adaptor (battery charger) may make
some noise when in use, but this is normal.
Be careful not to drop the camera when
carrying it around.
• Strong impacts may damage the camera unit and
cause it to stop working properly.
• Handle the camera with care using the hand
strap or shoulder strap to carry it.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or
other volatile substances.
• Spraying the camera with insecticides or other
volatile substances may deform it or cause the
coating to peel off.
• Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber or
PVC products for extended periods of time.
After use, remove the battery or disconnect the
AC power supply cord from the power outlet.
Battery characteristics
This camera uses a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. It generates electrical energy through
an internal chemical reaction. This reaction is
easily influenced by the ambient temperature
and humidity, and the effective operating time of
the battery is reduced as the temperature rises
or falls. If you use this camera at locations with
extremely low temperatures, its operating time will
be reduced.
If the battery becomes extremely hot, a protective
function will engage and you will not be able to use
it for a while.
