Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Starting Use
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly,
particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling).
Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your
data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording
media (SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
About the Battery and Power Adapter
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing it
especially in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will
over-discharge and shorten the battery’s service life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.
• The power adapter supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with this camera. Do not
use it with any other equipment.
8
Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera
• Do not use or store the camera in a hot environment or under direct sunlight.
• Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding
vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at
normal temperatures.
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is
due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a malfunction.
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the
inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag and
take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could
cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.
• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause it to break or malfunction.
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod
socket on the camera.

Warranty Policy
All our cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic distribution channels
are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve months
from the date of your purchase. Service will be rendered, and defective parts will be replaced
without cost to you within that period, provided the camera does not show evidence of impact,
sand or liquid damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation
contrary to operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The
manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or alterations
except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from delay or
loss of use or from other indirect or consequential damages of any kind, whether caused by
defective material or workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of
the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed
or implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided. No refunds
will be made on repairs by non-authorized service facilities.
103
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any camera which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should be returned
to the dealer from whom you purchased the camera or to the manufacturer. If there are no
representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the camera to the manufacturer,
with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the camera
can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the camera
is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the
camera will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the camera is not covered by
warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping
charges are to be borne by the owner. If your camera was purchased outside of the country
where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing
fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding
this, your camera returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to
this procedure and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs
clearance fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required,
please keep the receipt or bills covering the purchase of your camera for at least a year.
Before sending your camera for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the
manufacturer’s authorized representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are
sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and
only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service station to proceed with
the servicing.
• This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s statutory rights.
• The local warranty policies available from our distributors in some countries can supersede this
warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that you review the warranty card supplied with your
product at the time of purchase, or contact our distributor in your country for more information
and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used
Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents mean
that used electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should not be mixed with
general household waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must be treated separately and in
accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of
these products.
By disposing of these products correctly you will help ensure that the waste
undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential
negative effects on the environment and human health which could otherwise arise
due to inappropriate waste handling.
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in accordance with the
Battery Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead)
is present in the battery at a concentration above an applicable threshold specified in the
Battery Directive.
For more information about collection and recycling of used products, please contact your
local authorities, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the
products.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard used products,
please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the
dealer, even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on
the home page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
