SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Camera notes:

Do not store or use the camera in the following environments:

• In the rain, in humid or dusty environments.

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

• In a place where the camera is subject to a high magnetic field, e.g. near motors, transformers or magnets.

Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places where dripping water or sand may come in contact with the camera.

If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, remove the battery and the memory card from the camera and store them in a dry environment.

If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location to a warm place, moisture may condense inside the camera. It is suggested that you wait for a while before turning on the camera.

Loss of recordings or data cannot be compensated for if a malfunction of your camera or recording media, makes the playback of recordings not possible.

Battery notes:

Incorrect use of the battery may cause it to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the following precautions.

• Do not expose the battery to water, and take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

• Do not heat the Battery or throw it into a fire.

• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the battery.

Keep the battery out of reach of babies and small children.

In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and battery life is significantly shortened.

Memory card notes:

When using a new memory card, be sure to format the card with your digital camera before using it.

Do not change or delete the folder names or file names in the memory card from your PC or, the camera may not be able to display those edited files on its LCD screen. To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s hard disk first.

The photos taken by this camera are stored in the autogenerated folder in the SD card. Please do not store photos that are not taken by this model of camera, as this may make it impossible to recognize the picture when the camera is in playback mode.

However, there may be some minute points (black, white, red, blue or green) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and the recorded image is not affected in any way.

Avoid exposing the LCD screen to water; please remove any moisture on the LCD screen with a soft dry cleaning cloth.

If the LCD monitor is damaged, take particular care with the liquid inside the monitor. If any of the following situations arise, take the recommended immediate action indicated below:

• If liquid from the LCD comes in contact with your skin, wipe the area with a cloth and then wash thoroughly with soap and running water.

• If liquid from the LCD flows into the eyes inadvertently, please rinse with water immediately and seek medical assistance.

• If liquid from the LCD is swallowed, flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical assistance immediately.

The larger the pictures are, the bigger the file sizes are and the less pictures you can store on a memory card.

The three levels of compression are:

• : Quality: Best

• : Quality: Fine

• : Quality: Normal

Manual mode).

Pictures taken with higher ISO will generally have more noise than those taken with lower ISO.

EV+2.0.

EV adjustment can also be changed in Movie mode.
